EAT YOUR MEDICINE.

Isn't this the best way, really?

Our bodies are in a receptive state, open to inputs, when we can really sitdown, pay undivided attention, and relish in a meal.

Open body, tasty food, good ingredients, powerful herbs = BIG impact and maximum nutrients for the body.

A good meal or special treat is healing to the body and soul, right?

I've been working on letting go of rigid food-rules and enjoying the eating experience again. {I've been through so many loooooong and crazy phases of eating. It's exhausting}.

Join me in not overanalyzing all things food-related?

Eat your medicine in the form of a delicious treat, alongside a warm cup of tea or coffee. Permission granted.

I LOVE adding herbs to food. We're already cooking {well, at least eating} 3 times a day, so why not throw some herbs in?

This treat is bright, tastes like spring, and is calming to the nervous system.

The whole house will smell like a bakery while you're making it. Open the windows, take a deep breath, and enjoy.

Lighten things up with lavender! Everyone will be happy and impressed.

Lavender + lemon + blueberries = one of the best combos in town.

LAVENDER BLUEBERRY SCONES

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground lavender in a large bowland mix well. Cut in the hard coconut oil with a fork or your finger tips working it until the mix is crumbly. Add sugar and lemon zest and mix well again. Add milk and blueberries and mix again. Transfer the dough out onto the baking sheet and form into a circle with your hands or put another piece of parchment paper down and use a rolling pin. Sprinkle the top with more sugar. Cut the dough into 8 segments. Bake for 20 minutes or until starting to brown. Take out of oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Make icing {highly recommended} by mixing powdered sugar, lemon juice and powdered lavender. If too thin, add more sugar. If too thick, add more lemon juice. Pull scone segments apart with a spatula and drizzle with icing. DROOLING. {More detailed instructions in recipe}.

My top 3 uses for lavender are:

calming, soothing, sleep-promoting, nervous system support
antiseptic-protector internally and externally, immune support
skin-healer with burns, bites, rashes, itchiness and redness

Today, we made use of the soothing, pleasurable and antiseptic qualities in our scones.

Next week, we'll be talking about lavender for the skin!

See you then.

With love and plants,
