Pickled Curry Deviled Eggs

Here are a couple of universal truths about being friends with foodies. The first is that there will never be a gathering that you will leave not absolutely stuffed with a variety of delicious dishes. And the second, is that you will always be looking for unique recipe inspiration for your own creations. Because while I know my friends will love classic potluck faire, there is something deeply satisfying when I’m able to surprise them with something new and exciting. With barbecue and picnic season in full swing I went searching for a new take on a very familiar favorite, deviled eggs.

Summer Dream Roll-On Perfume Oil Recipe

Humans are forever seeking ways to capture the essence of memories. Beyond simple recollection, we seek avenues to bring us back to the feelings that bloomed within us during special moments. Out of all the methods of creating those pathways of memory, harnessing the olfactory system is perhaps one of the most powerful. How many times have you caught a whiff of something and been instantly transported? Pass an off-brand breath mint my way and I am suddenly 8 years old, riding in the backseat of my grandparent’s car, reaching up for one of the mints that were always in the glove box.

Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris) Monograph: Botany and Uses


I was first introduced to self-heal (Prunella vulgaris) while walking through a field many years ago. Once I got a good look at her, she stopped me in my tracks, and I spent a lot of time sitting on the ground admiring her magnificent flowers. I was inspired to get to know my new (then) friend, Prunella, on a deeper level, so I went home and hit the books. It's been a part of my herbalism practice ever since.

Supporting Wild Harvester Education for a Sustainable Future

In the summer of 2025, Mountain Rose Herbs had the honor of sponsoring and participating in a training seminar hosted by Appalachian Sustainable Development (ASD) at the beautiful Oshala Farm in Oregon’s Rogue Valley. It was a small, focused gathering of wild harvesters who came together to learn, connect, and share their commitment to ethical wildcrafting. This seminar was part of ASD’s Wild Stewards Program, a vital initiative that supports wild harvesters in Central Appalachia and beyond by improving livelihoods through sustainable practices, fair pricing, and access to new markets. We’ve long admired their dedication to stewarding both people and plants, and we were thrilled to help bring their expertise to the Pacific Northwest.

DIY Sheet Mask Recipe for Dry Skin

Sheet masks are one of my favorite at-home spa skin care recipes to make. For those of you who may not have heard of them before, sheet masks are a skin care treatment that uses a piece of fabric soaked in a solution that is intended to bring a host of benefits to the skin. They can be found in just about any store that sells skin care products, but they come at the price of additional preservatives for shelf stability and single-use packaging. They also range in price, with the inexpensive ones including less than natural ingredients and the expensive ones being well...expensive! This is why I opt to make my own.

Catnip: Beneficial Herb for Humans and Cats + DIY Cat Toy Ideas

Nepeta cataria, commonly called catnip, is an ancient member of the mint family. It has been used in western folk practices for millennia, and is loved for its gentle, calming properties. Herbalists and parents often brew this child-friendly herb into a soothing tisane, but it can also be taken internally as a tincture. For topical use, catnip can be infused in oils, or used as an essential oil or hydrosol to bring an herbaceous, relaxing scent to body care products. Perhaps, however, catnip is best known as the herb most loved by our feline friends.

Strawberry Matcha Swiss Roll

During the blooming warmth of June, take a cruise along the rural farmland roads of Oregon, and you’re bound to stumble across a local farm with a hand-painted “U-Pick Strawberries” sign proudly displayed out front. If you dream of strawberry season every year as I do, you will have your car parked with a bucket in hand before your eyes have time to adjust to the sunny, red-speckled field before you. After a few blinks, the once eagerly empty bucket will overflow with the ripest and most mouthwatering strawberries that grocery stores could only dream of. If you can resist devouring the entire ruby-red bounty on the way home, these precious berries deserve to shine in a dessert that highlights their vibrant yet delicate flavors, reminiscent of early summer.

Homemade Mosquito Repellent

My family always has grand goals of getting out to the mountains once a month for a couple nights of tent camping from May through October. Camping in the shoulder months often means chilly temperatures and rain, which we’ve gotten good at dealing with. Mosquito season, however, can be a little more daunting. A few summers ago, we were camping at a Southern Oregon lake with friends who had school-age children. The mosquitos were SO vicious, particularly for the kiddos, and I spent the whole time kicking myself for not having made a batch of herbal mosquito repellent beforehand. Our friends had some over-the-counter natural spray, but it was passing-useless and none of us wanted to douse the children in a toxic DEET-based repellent. I vowed never to be caught by surprise again. Now this natural spray is a must-have for camping and any other activity that puts us close to water and mosquitos.
