Hi Colleen,
If lavender bothers you, you can try using rosemary, eucalyptus or clove essential oils as well. Enjoy!

I am sensitive to lavender, it gives me migraines. Is there a different essential oil you’d recommend using for this recipe? Or is it ok to leave out if strong smells are something that can also cause migraines for me? Thanks! Otherwise this also looks great & I look forward to trying it!

This article is very informative, but also scary. Whether we want to or not, we are fed with a chemical feast every day. Thanks for the alternatives listed for choices.

It is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. Its velvety texture makes it unique.

Comment on Grass-fed Butter-Braised Summer Squash by kathryn matthews

Hi Wendy… How wonderful that you’re able to make your own butter! As for the color of the butter….Whether or not it is a “deep yellow” would depend on the variety of the cow and what time of year you’re getting the milk from the cow to make your butter. Cows that graze on grass from May through September will be absorbing more betacarotene (from the live grass), which contributes to a butter’s deeper yellow color. During the winter, farmers often feed their cows a diet that is primarily grass-hay (with less beta-carotene), and also supplement with some grain (eg, corn) because cows tend to lose weight when they eat only hay. Even if they go out to graze on pasture in the winter, the grass will not be lush and green as it is during the summer. You may be eating “winter butter”!
