Flashback to my pre birthday spin on mango salsa!

Flashback to my pre birthday spin on mango salsa! Anything that supports a personal and planetary high vibe is an acceptable gift to yourself in my book. Thank you @salsacycles for crafting the perfect ride on office days when I need something just right for potholed back roads on my commute and family visit urban ride fun. The flat bars and versatility are 👌🏻. Nothing more sustainable than a cycle around the city of bridges. ✌🏻🚲 🌉

When your planning where to put the fall cabbage and you get distracted by a bee sleeping on a zinnia! 🐝 😴

And then I had to do something with all the blackberries 🙄…15 pounds frozen and my freezer is screaming. 🙀 Have no fear lemon blackberry muffins and loaf are here! Lemon zest, spelt flour, maple syrup, full fat coconut milk, sprinkle in a little flax meal, walnuts and top with a sprinkle of chia. Boom! 💥

Feeling hot, hot, hot. Hopefully roasting these makes them a little “less hot.” I have no idea what variety they are because they don’t match any of my non-saved seeds. Almost like a bell/cayenne cross. Any ideas?🌶 🔥 😆

Boom chicks boom boom 💥 Kraut comin’ atcha!

Boom chicks boom boom 💥 Kraut comin’ atcha! Had to harvest all the green cabbage before there was any left after the cabbage loopers. When I’m doubt…make lactofermented kraut! Yummy in the tummy, hopefully this lasts more than a hot minute! 👊🏻🙌🏻

Finally got the cabbage to “head” up! 🤣😂

Homemade gifts come from the heart💚 and my garden! Rosemary salt coming atcha. 👊🏻 🌱 Easy peasy process: 1) Harvest fresh rosemary (still green for me in zone 6b in December). 2) Remove leaves from stalks and place in food processor. Pulse until desired size. 3) Add in salt of your choice. I used sea salt. 4) Place on cookie sheets to dry. Fresh rosemary contains moisture and you want to be sure to remove it before packaging. I used a spatula to move the salt around to aerate better. 5) Divide into your containers of choice… 6) Distribute to loved ones! **I used a ratio of 2 T fresh rosemary to 1/2 c of salt. 💥

When the light is, well, just right! 👌🏻🙌🏻 💙💚
