Honey, lavender and sage gin fizz
I’ve been wanting to make this cocktail for a long time. Â I have so much fresh sage in my garden and a bunch of dried lavender blossoms and the two just seem to go together so nice. Â I usually find…
Mango snacks
I’m excited about this post because I’ve wanted to try dehydrating food forever.  I’ve made the odd fruit rollup before in the oven, but I’ve never really put a lot of effort into it until I bought my Nesco Dehydrator a few…
