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

I made this cake around this time last year, so I thought it'd be a fitting recipe for the week! It's a perfect recipe for winter that leaves you feeling cozy and festive even after the holidays. The recipe I used for this cake comes from Sugar Spun Run, and I used it for a winter dinner party. For decoration, I wreathed the cake in rosemary, pomegranate kernels, and candied orange slices!

You can find them at many witch shops online and in person. And the best part about them is that they've done all the

What is a charm? Well Witchipedia describes a charm as "any item worn by an individual for magickal effect, especially one that bears magic words, an incantation or a magical symbol.

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

Another way to start breathing easy if you're feeling under the weather is an herbal steam! The fresher the better! Here we have some rosemary, eucalyptus, and lavender. Other great additions/substitutions are thyme, citrus peels, or herbal oils if you're out of fresh herbs. And fun fact about rosemary--the scent of it is fantastic for improving your memory!
