hello! it’s rather warm where i am right now but i really love tea and milk teas, so i made this up last night!
1 cup of water
2 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons of lavender (maybe try other flowers!)
put the lavender buds and water into a small saucepan and have it reach a boil! once it does, add the sugar and reduce heat so that it simmers (probably medium low). have it simmer for about fifteen minutes. once that time has past set it aside to cool!
brew a tea you prefer! i did earl grey, but chamomile would work too!! i’d do two tea bags since you’ll be adding ice and milk. once it is at a strength you find appropriate take out the bags and let it cool!
fill glass about a third full of ice, then add tea, maybe three spoonfuls of the syrup, and milk!
add a little vanilla extract if you have it!
for all you witchy folks too, lavender is known for symbolizing love, so share it with someone you love to welcome in the warm weather!! also feel free to add the extra lavender syrup to other drinks too, it’s very tasty!

INGREDIENTS:
2 sheet Puff Pastry dough, thawed
8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
½ tsp Almond Extract
4 Tbsp Sugar
1 ½ cup Fresh Strawberries, sliced
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 Egg + 2 Tablespoons water, whisked for egg wash
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the strawberries and corn starch. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface roll out thawed puff pastry into a 12×9″ rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise, yielding 2 4-½” strips. Cut those two strips crosswise into thirds, to yield six 4×4 ½” pieces.With a knife, score ½” border around the edge of each piece of puff pastry. Use a fork to make five or six pricks into the dough within the border of each piece. This will help keep the middle of each piece from rising.
In a bowl, stir together softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla and almond. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of mixture into the middle of each piece of dough and spread around evenly, ensuring the mix stays within the borders.
In the middle of the cream cheese, add a couple of spoonfuls of strawberries into the middle.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, on the middle rack and rotate the baking sheet half way through baking. Remove from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or room temperature. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. Shave chocolate over the top as well, if desired.
just discovered RSL was Atticus Finch in a 2013 play of To Kill a Mocking Bird. I’m going insane trying to find any photo or video evidence of this.
you are my savior

On medium heat, combine honey, almond butter, and your honey nut cheerios in a rather large pan. Make sure the almond butter has melted and the cheerios are fully coated. This should take about no longer then 7 minutes. About 3 plays of Set Fire to the Rain by Adele.
Once you have done this, spread evenly into a glass baking dish until it sets completely. This can take 1-3 hours.
Cut them into bars. Combine your greek yogurt, honey, melted white chocolate, and vanilla together, and dip the bottoms into the mixture, Let them set for an additional hour.
Enjoy!

THE DEATH OF MY SOUL
Hello my loves! Beltane is almost here, so I started to experiment with new recipes. This one, I have been messing around in the kitchen to get it right for 2 weeks now.
Beltane often includes aphrodisiacs and other romantic foods. So why not some sweet strawberry lemon bars that represent love and passion?
FOR THE CRUST
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
FOR THE FILLING
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
The juice of 1 lemon
½ cups strawberries
A pinch of salt
4 large eggs
3 tbsp honey
Directions
Butter a square baking pan, and line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper. This will prevent the bars from sticking to the pan.
Make the crust by creaming the butter, sugar and salt in a kitchen aid until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour. Press the dough into the bottom of the baking tin with your hands.
While you wait for the oven to preheat to 350 F. Chill the pan in the fridge. Bake your crust for 12-15 minutes, until very lightly browned. Leave the oven on.
While you wait for the crust to bake, blend your strawberries into a puree.
Whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and blended strawberries. Pour the mixture over the crust and bake for about 35 minutes, or until your filling is set.
After cooling for 1 hour, dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
“Sharlotka” is a classic Russian apple cake. In some parts of the world, it’s known as the French Apple cake and it is best described as an apple sponge cake. This cake is packed with apples😍 Unlike traditional apple pie, which is heavy on the crust, this cake makes apples the star of the show. This results in a cake that is airy, soft and beautifully simple. Feel free to use any apple in this cake.
Soooo, you need:
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cornstarch
4 large apples
powdered sugar for dusting
Wash, peal and dice apples into one inch pieces. Using a mixer, beat eggs with sugar, until it’s three times in volume. Using a spatula, fold in flour by thirds, add 1 tsp of baking powder and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Cover bottom of the pan (I use 8 inches pan/20cm) with some cake batter, lay out the diced apples, cover apples with cake batter, shake the pan a bit, to spread batter between each apple piece. You have to do two layers of apples and cover the top of your cake with cake batter. The main thing is that the cake batter has to be not too thick and not too liquid.
Bake it at 350F/180C for 40 minutes, check using a wooden toothpick. If the cake is ready, the dough should not stick to the toothpick. It may take a bit more than 40 mins.
Are you ....... washing a deer? Because that is a STAGGERING defeat.
