I’m beyond pleased to have some garden beds again. They’re mostly given over to herbs ... from now until the final hard freeze in December or so I’ll be stepping out of the kitchen to snip some herbs for whatever I’m cooking. #garden #herbs #herbgarden #cookingwithherbs #kitchengarden Today’s lunch: roasted veggies including local asparagus plus a white bean and tomato salad. Definitely some Tuscan inspiration in this dish! #tasteoftuscany #roastedveggies #jillstable The view from my second-storey office: red maple in full, glorious leaf. How lucky am I? (And now I need to turn my head to look at the computer screen again.) #homeoffice #homeofficeview #freelancerlife #editor #decorbynature Now cooling: orange, hazelnut and cherry biscotti. #baking #biscotti #italianfood First bake done. A bit of cooling, then slicing and the biscotti will go back into the oven for their second bake. #biscotti #baking #italianfood Yup, biscotti underway. Mmm, smells good already. Inspired by @jillstable, recipe lightly adapted from @julskitchen. #baking #biscotti When in Belgium ... Flashback to the Brussels sugar waffle I ordered, copying my cousin who lives in Antwerp. So light, and no whipped cream, berries or syrup in sight. #belgianwaffle #realbelgianwaffles #belgianfood First day back to work after my dream holiday calls for some 🇨🇦 maple syrup and a bit of milk in my americano. That should get me in the editing groove! #coffee #americano #baristaathome #maplesyrup #editorslife #workfromhome Just refilled the bean hopper on my espresso machine — smells so good! Time for an Americano to get me back in the groove for my first day at work after vacation. #coffee #espresso #cappuccino #americano #baristaathome #brevillebaristaexpress
