Tonights recipe is an elevated version of a fatty philly steak and cheese. This still has all the richness and goodness associated with a philly cheese steak, but with a much crisper and refined taste on your pallet. 

Ingredients: 

4 naan pitas

2 new york steaks

1 tablespoon olive oil

16 ounces mushrooms

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 cup spinach

pinch lavender salt

pepper

Directions: 

Salt and pepper your steak on both sides, grill until golden on the outside and medium rare on the inside. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat your oil. Chop your mushrooms into strips and add them to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until all the liquid is steamed out and they begin to brown and crisp up. After letting your steak rest, cut that into strips as well. Remove your mushrooms from the skillet and warm your naan on both sides. Once warmed through, top with your mushrooms, steak, feta, and spinach. Fold into a wrap, and enjoy! 

This delicious beefy and filling wrap will have your family satisfied and their taste buds happy. Bon Appetite! 

So we recently highlighted a recipe of how to brew your own stove top air freshener in your house this winter. Some of our customers were aghast that we suggest anyone use anything besides our very own Lavender Apple Mulling Spices. Mulling Spices have been used for centuries to help brighten and freshen the aroma of homes. I find that when I use particular brands of mulling spices, they bring up such strong nostalgic memories for me. I love using The Lavender Apple Mulling Spices in January because it's such a delightful winter smell. I know that I am creating fun family memories this time of year and whenever my family smells these spices, they will have a strong connection back to these years. Its like a way to ensure their brain will remember these wonderful days, as smell is the strongest sense tied to memory. 

Anyway, visit our online store to grab yourself some mulling spices and start infusing your home with scents that will help bring your loved ones memories back to this day. 

We love having chickens on our farm. Sure, we love the delicious fresh eggs they bear us, but there are so many other reasons we love having these birds around. 

The most economically compelling reason to keep chickens is to recycle food waste. This composts it into a wonderful organic soil builder for your garden as well. The more kitchen waste you feed your chickens, the more nitrogen rich fertilizer they will give you to compost with. 

Hand in hand with that is their natural digging, pecking, and scratching abilities. This helps you to create top notch gardening beds. You can grow more produce in a smaller space, which means less water - which should be important to us all. 

Chickens also love to eat all of those nasty protein packet insects in your yard. This is awesome for you because maybe it will save you from a tick bite or two, but it will also protect your precious garden as well. They also love to eat most weeds, making your work load much lighter. 

And my favorite reason? Chickens are loveable pets. Increase your stress lowering hormones and form a relationship with these useful and happy birds. Some chickens are even bred as therapy birds. We find the most happiness in caring for our chickens, just getting outside with them each day and exchanging food for eggs and giving them a hello is enough to make all of us smile. 

Have an egg-stra special day!
