Mary Rose from IsabellasCloset blog creates

the most wonderful and beautiful banners and buttons on this blog:Playing With Graphics. She re-vamped my blog and my Etsy shop to reflect a new, fresher me. Spring goes into summer and with that comes renewal, rebirth and transformation. I did NOT think I was a lavender/purple person; seems I can do it : ) I cook every day. I love to cook for all 3 meals.

This range free chicken breasts baked with freshly squeezed lemon juice,  Himalayan pink salt, oregano, thyme, garlic cloves, cumin, thinly sliced baby onions and 1 organic sliced carrot.

This a view of thinly sliced zucchini, onions, turmeric (good for inflammation; particularly arthritis) which I use in most dishes. Love the color and the flavor!!! This was incorporated into 2 soft scrambled eggs for breakfast.

 Another view

 Take a look at this organic Valencia orange baked chicken:

This dish was started being sauted in the skillet with extra virgin 1st cold pressed olive oil from Spain. It is a favorite.

These 2 photos are after it was taken out of the oven and put in the refrigerator to be eaten today : )

 My dishes consist of black, white and black/white checks and black/white polka dots and some florals. 

I hope you have enjoyed what I created.

 Spices are wonderful; garlic, Cumin, Turmeric, oregano (Italian and Mexican), Sal Del Mar smoked sea salt Matiz Mediterraneo (from Spain), very rarely is white table salt or black pepper used. 

I use lots of fresh, very finely chopped Jalapeno peppers. 

It is so delicious and very healthful for you.

I love Lavender but do not have any right now : ( 

What are your favorite spices?

Do you bake? Can? Make jams? 
Do you listen to music or whistle while you are in the kitchen?

Have any lavender food recipes you would like to share?

The other thing I do every day is drink a couple of cups Ginger root tea because it is another natural inflammation fighter and I require all the assistance I can get. I boil water in my tea pot (love to hear the whistle), cut a piece of the Ginger root, dice it into little pieces, pour the boiling water on them and let it steep. I never use sugar or  amber Agave nectar (from a cactus plant) in my teas or coffee. Have wonderfully aromatic, savory or sweet, day!!!

peace
