Upside down cakes have been around since the 1800s, but the style of baking with fruit and cakes dates as far back as the Middle Ages with what was known first as skillet cakes. These were basically upside down cakes cooked in cast iron skillets. As kids we often had upside down cakes and for generations it has been brought to potluck and family gatherings. I wanted to bring back this warm tradition for my kids. Well of course ours always has to have a lavender twist to it! Our White Lavender Cake Mix is similar to a sponge cake. Dense with a burst of beautiful lavender flavor.   Peach Lavender Upside Down Cake 2 Peaches 1 Package Lavender Cake Mix 3/4 cup water 2 eggs 2 Tbsp oil Directions Slice two fresh peaches in 1/4 inch slices. Set aside. Line a 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper greased with butter. Layer your peaches in a circular pattern on the bottom of your pan on top of buttered parchment paper. In a medium sized mixing bowl make Lavender Cake Mix according to package instructions. Pour prepared cake batter over your layered peaches. Bake at preheated 350º F oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes, then dump your cake out of pan onto serving tray.

One of my goals this year is to do a little more pampering. That is always a good idea, but I seem to get busy and ignore myself. I think that is a common problem with so many of us.
This is just a basic face mask recipe that you'll find everywhere online. It is versatile and you can change up the recipe to fit your face type.
Flat champagne and wine can actually help as a toner on the skin. The antioxidants and tartaric acid helps to tone the skin while the antibacterial properties help fight elements that promote acne.
What a great way to use up leftover champagne and pamper yourself at the same time!
May this new year brings good things for you!

We love to support local as well as get involved with opportunities that give back to the community and those less fortunate. We met Cara Bartel with ONEHOPE Wine at a holiday event when she was sampling the many different wines that they offer. I love the concept that they were established to have each bottle provide a certain amount to go to a charity. ONEHOPE was founded by eight friends with a lofty vision: to create exceptional products that inspire people to indulge while doing good. Their commitment to quality wine is as important as our commitment to the causes they support. To date they have made more than $3 million in donations, provided 46,000 people with global health care, 49,000 forever homes for shelter animals, 1.8 million meals for children, 163,000 life-saving vaccines!

I purchased a bottle of Sparkling Brut that helps to provides 2 meals to a child in need. It has a crisp, fresh with a sweet peach flavor, with delicate sweet berries mixed with light pears, finishing with creamy and refreshing bubbles. This Brut Sparkling Wine is flexible when pairing with foods and is suggested to go with appetizers, seafood, sushi as well as a wide range of desserts and cheeses.
We paired it in our cocktail combined with our Lavender Simple Syrup and coconut milk. Garnish with our Lavender Cocktail Picks and maybe a cranberry for Christmas or a slice of lime.

A friend recently posted all about these ziplock popsicle bags. Ingenious is what I thought. I had to give it a try so I purchased these on Amazon. I have a list of things that I want to make to put in them like smoothie style pops and fresh berries pureed. But there has been one that I've been thinking about since I first saw these bags.
I love making dirty lemonades on a Friday after a long week using our Lavender Lemonade and vodka. So to toast to a great weekend here how I made up some dirty lemonade pops!
Dirty Lemonade Pops
2 cups Lavender Lemonade prepared (or beverage of your choice)
3/4 cup vodka
Combine the lemonade and vodka and pour them up to the fill line of your popsicle bag.
Freeze for about 24 hours and cheers to your weekend! Of course make the kids some without alcohol and make sure to label which ones are "dirty".
For a slushy style drink. Pour your frozen popsicle into a cocktail glass and pour over seltzer water, stir slightly and serve.

When working on this recipe I was wanting to make a breakfast cookie or bar. I think you could call it a breakfast cookie as it has blueberries and oatmeal. Although, I think it is more of a cookie once I added the brown sugar. Maybe someone else could redesign it by eliminating the brown sugar to be more of a breakfast cookie...but I like it this way. Next time I am thinking of add a touch of lemon peel to make a lemon lavender blueberry version.
1 Norwood Farm Lavender Scone mix
1 cup Oats
1 stick Butter, softened
1 cup Brown sugar
1 whole egg
1 tsp vanilla extract or optional 1/2 tsp lavender extract
½ cups milk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
1) In a large bowl, blend together scone mix and oats. Set aside.
2) In a medium sized bowl beat together the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and extract until well combined.
3) On low speed, mix into butter mixture half of the flour mixture until combined.
4) Mix in the milk and the rest of the flour mixture.
5) Mix on low speed until combined.
6) Stir in the blueberries.
7) Using a cookie scoop place dough onto the lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until golden.
I was craving chocolate and began my hunt for a delicious looking chocolate cookie recipe. I came across Christi's recipe from, Love From the Oven it looked so yummy with bits of chocolate chunks and marshmallows oozing out of them. So of course I couldn't resist using our Norwood Farm gourmet Lavender Hot Chocolate Mix!
 | This recipe uses small dehydrated marshmallows. You can also just use regular mini marshmallows if that is all you have on hand. |
The Lavender Hot Chocolate gives it just a hint of lavender. If you find you want more lavender taste you can add our Lavender Extract in place of vanilla extract.
Lavender Honey Chia Pudding
I have been on a total chia pudding binge lately. I have had to make it in almost every flavor until I said, "I need to make a honey and lavender chia pudding recipe!". So here is what I have come up with.
I used our Norwood Farm Lavender Extract which always seems to add a element of sweet surprise to desserts. Lavender has the ability to blend with fine chocolate, harmonize with the delicate flavors of fresh lemons, peaches, or heighten the taste of honey which is what I was counting on in this recipe.
In addition I used our Norwood Farm Culinary Lavender but ground the buds up in a coffee grinder so that it could contribute to the lavender flavor yet not be distracting with the whole buds.
I love this it made me feel like I was taking a bite of summer in with every spoonful. I personally don't prefer my treats to be really sweet so I would decrease the honey but that could be that the lavender extract brings that oomph out the honey. Try this recipe and see what you think of it.

Premium Culinary Grade Dried Lavender
What makes our farm fresh culinary lavender extra ordinary and premium grade? The time that we take to harvest the lavender just at the peak of perfection. In season we only cut the lavender stems that are at the ripe stage. Just like a berry bush where you have various ripeness of fruit. Lavender is similar to a berry bush so instead of harvesting the whole plant we hand select the lavender stems that are ripe for harvesting. Once selection and cutting has occurred they get hung in bundles to air dry for two weeks. Then taken down and placed in airtight storage containers until we package them into food grade packaging.
Lavender is known to deter bugs and draw beneficial insects so although we are not officially certified as a Organic farm although we take pride in growing everything on the farm organically, without use of pesticides, herbicides or chemicals.
As a small farm we take pride in harvesting, drying, and debuding our lavender by hand on our small family run farm in Oregon, USA. This helps us insure that you are getting product that is at peak freshness.
Lavender can be used for more than tea try our culinary lavender in place of rosemary in your cooking, grilling or baking. Tastes fantastic in dressings, cookies, lemonade, desserts, rubs, garnishing, and on its on as a tea or use as a garnish. So versatile in both savory or sweet dishes.
