Hey it’s me, soaked, holding a chicken, totally in my element (✨GARDEN✨) and featured on a sweet blog????! Check out my garden, the chickens, a list of EVERYTHING I’m growing and more, featured on @thegrowingneighbour blog, “a project that taps into the stories and magic of growing food in Toronto backyards”. See: “Laura’s Glowing Garden” – link in her profile, or thegrowingneighbour.com ?????. While you’re at it, check out the other gardens of my fellow Growing Neighbours, because they’re so inspiring and all have so much of their own wonderful character. Thanks so much to @thegrowingneighbour for featuring me; I am honoured to be part of the project! •••••••••••• Last thing: if you’re still craving backyard garden inspo, check out the personal insta of The Growing Neighbour creator, Jazlyn @torontogardener??.

IG: Organic slowcooker turkey for the win! Easy AF. Serves 2. ??? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 1. Take 2 organic turkey wings (cheap AF). Put them in your crockpot. Add about 1/2 inch of water. Just a splash really. 2. Season/douse them with ample sea salt, sage, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme and a pinch of cayenne. Ginger powder is good too but I didn’t have this today. 3. Cover with lid. Cook them on low for 5-7 hours. 4. Revel at how effing delicious they smell, then enjoy with a boatload of veggies. Fall off the bone gooooood! Annnnnd folks, that was my dinner. Belly is full and I’m totally content. P.s. Keep the ridiculous flavour juice. I cooked it into basmati rice. Bomb diggity ✌?✌?

IG: Turned that beautiful homegrown zucchini into lightly steamed zucchini noodles, topped them with a fresh homemade spicy tomato basil sauce with herbs from the garden, added some brown rice & wakame noodles because carbs are delicious, and then topped it all with some freshly grated organic Italian parmesan?. Holyyyyy mother of pearl! Update: then I used the leftover sauce to make this tomatoey-bone broth veggie-packed stew last night that was also epic. Does anyone else love good food as much as me? I know @jeffreymcglynn does, probably why we are soulmates

IG: That feeling when you don’t have to buy kale at the grocery store because you have a thriving patch at home ????… should I juice, roast, steam or kale-caesar-salad this bunch?! P.s. Those lucky chickens of ours got all the less attractive leaves

IG: What up, doc? ??Could there be a more appropriate day than eclipse day to harvest a big bunch of my @uharvest Solar Yellow carrots?! I’ve been snacking on one or two here and there for the last month or so, but felt inclined to pull more today so I can re-seed the area for a fall harvest. Friggen’ love @uharvest and their fantastic collection of organic and heirloom seeds. Rock on ??(as I write this I am literally eating the dirt covered carrots… because, microbiome, amirite? ✌?

IG: We often over-analyze and over-think. While this can be beneficial at times (preventing us from making some stupid decisions??), sometimes we have to stop thinking and worrying, trust that it’ll all work out, and just take a leap✨?How does this apply to your life?
