Cook with Lavender Sidetrack!

Just for the fun of it, we’ve created an electronic cookbook inspired by our namesake - Lavender! Each of these beauties takes our beloved herb into a bowl, pile, glass, or tray to turn it into something that’s utterly, probably, hopefully delicious.

Lavender is one of the most valuable essential oils and we’re more than excited to bring you our favorite ways (so far) to your home.

Round hay bails are still my favorite. I took this photo from a moving vehicle on I80 in Nebraska. (Don’t worry, I wasn’t driving.) It took a lot of filters to get it even this clear, so let’s pretend it’s a painting... . . . #nebraska #roundbails #I80 #photographersofinstagram #lookaround #roadtrip #crosscountry #greatplains #lotsoffilters #haybails #breadbasketofamerica optoutside https://www.instagram.com/p/B65vGCCl_fL/?igshid=1osleod7qizkn

I always wonder how certain plants do in the winter. A foot of snow couldn’t bend or break this Color Guard Yucca! . . . #colorguardyucca #snow #snowyplant #photographersofinstagram #colorado #yellow #green #spiky #snowy #snowwalk https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xhXarlgE5/?igshid=18k3lzm6zev18

I cut these wildflowers the night before the second snow storm this month. Now that we’re between the 3rd and 4th (I think), I’m so thankful to have these bright bursts of color in the kitchen! 😊 . . . #wildflowers #wildflowersinmykitchen #snowrescue #thankful #ummm #wintercametoosoon #orange #green #mygarden #winter2019 #frontrange #denver https://www.instagram.com/p/B4L5bzblehZ/?igshid=17ugfz942x9rn
