How cooked do you like your beans? With a little bite? Crisp? Grey?! I like it barely cooked, with sea salt. #backyardbeans #greenbeans #gardenbeans #torontofoodblogger #backyardgardener #growyourownfood

Some days (somehow!?) there is no bread in the house. Then we bake 2 loaves and are rich again. For about a minute. #flaxseeds #breadwithflaxseeds #homemadebread #breadforgrilledcheese #torontofoodblogger #loavesfordays #crustyloaves #crustybread

I’ve been eating so many salads like this one lately: tomato & peach plus whatever else I have and feel like adding. This one has feta, red onion, yellow bell pepper and parsley. With some crusty bread, that can be lunch. #saladlunch #tomatoandpeach

Are you making iced coffees this summer? It’s been so hot, I’m still making myself one most afternoons. Although, honestly, I appreciate an iced coffee year round. What about you? #icedcoffeewithmilk #homemadeicedcoffee #espressooverice #summerdrinks #toohotforcoffee #makeyourown #makeitathome #makeitforless

Is there such a thing as a caprese sandwich? Crusty bread spread with basil pesto, topped with tomato and bocconcini slices. There are basil leaves in there, too, but they’re hard to see. I also added a drizzle of oil, salt & pepper. #summersandwich #capresesandwich #summerlunch #freshcheese #ripetomatoes #torontofoodblogger #gardenbasilpesto

I love having a backyard garden; everyday some more lettuce, another handful of beans, a few tomatoes. Our butternut squash are giants! #homegrownveggies #veggiegarden #backyardgrowing #freshtomatoes #cherrytomatoes #mixedbeans #gardenbeans

I bought some ice cream at the grocery store, made with local peaches. And had a small box of thin, crisp ginger cookies the cabinet where I keep coffee. So after dinner we had vanilla-peach ice cream & ginger cookie sandwiches on the porch. Perfect for a summer evening. #icecreamsandwiches #peachicecream #gingercookie #summericecream #summerdesserts #easydessertideas #simpledessert

I recently made brownies with peanut butter m&ms: the candies sink into the batter and the coating melts away a little so you’re left with sweet pockets of soft peanut butter throughout. Then when you cut the baked brownies into squares, each piece has surprise bites of peanut butter. #peanutbutterandchocolate #brownies #homemadebrownies #brownieswithpeanutbutter #sweettreats #homebaking
