Sweet Spells Sunday: Blackberry Lemon Scones
As I've mentioned before, I love taking recipes and tweaking them for new flavor combinations! This one in particular is my go-to scones recipe with a few fun twists! For these ones, instead of blueberries, I used blackberries and also added some lemon for an extra pop! Ingredients: - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup blackberries - ze

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Rosemary Blueberry Scones
One thing I really love to do is take recipes I know and trust and then tweak them a little for variety. Once you have a good base to work with, there's so many options! If you remember my post about my Sage Apple Walnut Scones, you'll recognize the base recipe of this as my go-to scones recipe from Martha Stewart. As you might remember from posts past, Rosemary can help with headaches, migraines, and strengthening your memory. When ingested, it can sooth your nervous system

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Rose Cardamom Cakes
To test out the kitchen in my new apartment, I made the cardinal mistake of baking. The best way to check out a new oven is by baking something with which you're most familiar. Instead of doing that, I tried a recipe I've never made before AND made about 5 changes to it. And yet, somehow, everything turned out delicious? So here's to my new favorite, easy-peasy recipe for a delicious tea-time snack! Behold, my own personal recipe for my Rose Cardamom Cakes! Rose as I've menti

Prophetic Potions: Rose-Colored Scrying Glass Cocktail
In an effort to spice things up a little, I want to branch off from the sweet and do a wider variety of kitchen witch recipes--like when I did my favorite pasta recipe. For this post, I want to talk about cocktails! Like for example, did you know hops are prophetic herbs? Alcohol can open our senses to different vibrations in the atmosphere. It allows us to loosen up and hear and see more than we normally can--and this can be used to our advantage if we mix just the right pot

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Pressed Floral Sugar Cookies
For those of you who have been following me for a little while, you might recognize the recipe for these cookies (minus a few new changes). What makes these special and different is rather the process for the final product. The base recipe is my recipe for Rosemary Ginger Sugar Cookies, but as an added bonus, I made these with pressed, dried florals! So altogether, there's a lot of earthy, floral flavors--making these cookies absolutely scrumptious! The florals I chose to add

Sweet Spells Sunday: Red Velvet Hibiscus Cheesecake
This Sweet Spells Sunday was inspired by a recipe from Sugar Dish Me--the big difference being the addition of hibiscus as a flavor component (and a witchy element). You might remember from my post about hibiscus syrup, that after I made my first batch, I was integrating it into anything I could. This recipe drew me to it because I love both red velvet cake and cheesecake. They're both such decadent, sinful treats that I felt hibiscus was the perfect addition. As you might re

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Honeysuckle Syrup and Pudding
For those of you wondering how a June-baby like me holds onto summer in these chilly winter months, one small comfort is the Honeysuckle Syrup I made while they were still in bloom! This week's recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks of all time: The Flower Cookbook by Adrienne Crowhurst! I found this dreamy book by chance while visiting one of my favorite places on earth--Thomas, West Virginia. It's chock full of incredible recipes and I hope to someday try them all!

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Homemade Hibiscus Syrup
If you all remember, I'm a big fan of hibiscus tea. So when I saw a tutorial for making my own hibiscus syrup (from Sprinkle Bakes), I jumped at it. But the beauty of this recipe, is that it could be used for potentially any herb or flower you would want to make into a syrup. Ingredients: 4 cups water 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers (or your herb/flower of choice) 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 vanilla bean (I honestly skipped the vanilla in

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Thyme-Mushroom Penne
This marks my first Kitchen Witch Wednesday with a savory recipe--as opposed to baked goods! And I couldn't think of a better recipe to represent my tastes! If you're wondering about thyme itself, as a magical and healing herb, check the first post of this series of three where I'm cooking with thyme. This recipe is one of my favorites and is so simple you could make it for any meal. What I love about it is how easy and quick it is to make, while also looking so spectacular.

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Thyme Lemon Curd Meringue Nests
Overall, out of every edible herb, my favorite herb is probably Thyme. There's just something about the taste and scent that makes me melt and swoon. I use it a lot in my cooking and as I just bought a bunch of fresh thyme, get ready for a couple weeks of recipes featuring this wonderful plant. So what makes thyme so great? Besides its incredible flavor, it's also a fantastic antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiseptic herb when used in cleaning products and mouthwash. This al

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Gluten-Free Lavender Lemon Curd Sandwich Cookies
Today's Kitchen Witch Wednesday is going to focus on lavender! It's one of my absolute favorite herbs to use in kitchen witchery. Not only is it a powerful herb, but it has such a wonderful scent and flavor. And nothing pairs better with lavender than lemon. Lavender is best known as a calming herb. It relaxes the mind and eases exhaustion. When carried, it protects you from the evil eye and allows you to see spirits. It's also often used in love spells, sleep spells, and pur

Kitchen Witch Wednesday: Rosemary Ginger Sugar Cookies
Today's Kitchen Witch Wednesday is going to focus on ginger and rosemary--two powerful assets of a witch's kitchen!
Ginger is often used to settle the stomach and dispel nausea. It can even relieve menstrual cramps! As a magical root, eating ginger before performing spells will lend them power.
I've mentioned rosemary before when added to an herbal steam, but in food rosemary can help with headaches, migraines, and strengthening your memory. When ingested, it can sooth yo
