🍓🌿🍩Homemade #strawberry #donuts with a white chocolate #basil drizzle 🍩🍓🌿 oh, yes I did. Have I taken my herb obsession too far? 😆 This was my first attempt at homemade donuts and I’m going to call it a success. My only critique was that I need to infuse wayyyyy more basil into the white chocolate next time. Swipe to see from oven to strawberry dust crumble. 🍓🌿✨ #homemade #saturday #breakfastinspo #brunch #baking 🍯 ☕️ If you ever have a chance to pick up some @iconiccocktailco Spiced Honey mixer — do it! It’s great in cocktails of course but my favorite way to enjoy it is actually in (you guessed it) coffee! Head to the blog to learn how to make another fancy coffee at home, Spiced Honey Latte with cinnamon cream! Good hot or iced. ☕️ Are you team coffee or tea??☕️🌿 I’m going to spend the next few days showcasing some food and drink recipes I have on the blog, starting the series just like I start my mornings — with #coffee! My latest post on the blog shared how I’ve been making my new fave at home coffee drink, Muddled Mint Iced Coffee ☕️ 🌿 ✨ are you a fan of minty coffees? I love them! Swipe to see some pretty mint flowers in action. #icedcoffee #diycoffee #espresso *I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again* gardening has truly been my therapy. 🌻✨As I prepare to go back into the office tomorrow, I am hoping for the best of both worlds. 🌎Connecting with team mates a few days a week + 🌏still getting so much time at home (garden). Even when I pop outside for 10 minutes to complete a small garden task, it really brings an instant calmness to my soul. Even when it’s 1000 degrees outside lol. I think I’m going to advocate for on-site gardens for all of us pandemic gardeners 😂 Really though, I am thankful for this life-long hobby I’ve picked up, and will always be thankful for the learning and growing it provides 🌿 It’s almost time for #tomatoes !🍅 last fall we tried planting a few varieties in a few different locations and only one plant thrived! This is my first year starting some from seed and oh boy, how little I knew about tomatoes. For instance, did you know there are two main types? 🍈Swipe to go inside the melon tunnel! ➡️ we planted these cantaloupe about two months ago. I had no idea how much they would grow 😳 Growing them for the first time has been awesome, will definitely be a summer garden staple! Never mind that I’m allergic — worth it! Our daughter loves cantaloupe so we’re anxiously awaiting for them to be ripe. Picking it at the peak of sweetness is key, although they continue to ripen off the vine, they don’t continue to sweeten. #cantaloupe #phoenixgarden #summergarden #growingmelons #phoenix #desertgarden
