~Cooking with Flowers and Simple & Sweet Fridays #64~

I bought the new cookbook, 
"Cooking with Flowers"
by Miche Bacher of Mali B Sweets.
All the recipes looked so good.

I had to make the chocolate and lavender biscotti. 
A very easy recipe and they were delicious!
Wrapped them up and gave them to friends.
The next recipe I made was a Borage Spritzer.
Combine 1/2 cup Borage Basil Simple Syrup

1/2 cup Borage Vodka

3 cups Seltzer Water
8 Cucumber Slices
8 Basil Leaves

Borage Ice Cubes

A wonderful refreshing drink for Springtime!




Happy Thursday everyone!

~Lavender Containers & Flowers and Simple & Sweet Fridays~

I love lavender.
I found this glass at Anthropologie and had to get it,
 just to put my lavender in it.
Speaking of Anthropologie.
 I found this little Eiffel Tower plate there.
You could use it for jewelry but, I put it in the bathroom with lavender buds on it.
There's nothing prettier than fresh flowers displayed together.
I just went into the garden and picked everything I could see at the time.
Tea Rose, roses, hellabores, larkspur, lavender, westeria,
breath of heaven, and statice.
It was a fun day playing in the garden...



Happy Thursday everyone!
