Bejeweled. ⠀⠀ I love how a photograph allows one to see things that would otherwise go unnoticed. : : : : : : : : #strawberries #strawberryleaves #aftertherain #shareyourtable #moodofmytable #eatprettythings #apetitejournal #seasonaleating #huffposttaste #healthyfood #healthyeating #urbangarden #organicgardening #mtlfood #mtlmoments #thesupperclubmag #ihavethisthingfordarkness #foodphotography #foodblogger #indianfoodbloggers #f52grams #theuncommonbox #thebeautyofsimplethings #mysimplelife #hashtagauthentic

Hello dear friends, two weeks before another school year starts here and we’re slowly surrendering to the idea of a routine. Hopefully that means I can get back to this, my not-so-secret guilty pleasure. Though I put my phone away, I didn’t put my camera away and I had to resist the impulse to post or search for inspiration here. I hope you’re all well lovelies, I’m so looking forward to catching up with all of you, you were missed!! xx ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : : #summervacationisover #iforgotabouthashtags #blueberries #blueberryseason #icecream #foodphotography #eatpretty #homemade #foodstyling #cookingtime #lovecooking #foodblogfeed #f52grams #feedfeed #iamsomartha #huffposttaste #foodfluffer #hautescuisines #thesupperclubmag #beautifulcuisines #thekitchn #simplepleasures #summermood #montreal #514eats #montrealphotographer

Happy Solstice fellow Earthlings! Remember we are all in this together... on this speck of dust, hurtling through space, forming circles in this otherwise empty universe. If there ought to be a reason to care for one another, this would be it. ⠀⠀ In other news, school’s out in my corner of the world and it’s vacation time. I’ll be taking a break from posting here for a bit... til August! ⠀⠀ Love, Annika ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : ⠀⠀ #solstice #firstdayofsummer #firstdayofwinter #midsummer #flowergram #allthingsbotanical #love #kindness #kindnessaboveeverything #ihavethisthingwithflowers #inspiredbypetals #underthefloralspell #inspiringquotes #inspire #writersofinstagram #ihavethisthingfordarkness #moodyphotography #ecofriendlyhome #sustainableliving #thereisnoplanetb #ourbeautifulworld #myquietbeauty #simpleliving #indiaphotoproject #asimplelife #theuncommonbox #nature #naturelover #indianblogger

Looking at the pie charts, something isn’t right: 80% of the world’s resources are being consumed by 20% of the world’s population. I hope that made you go 😱 or 😢 or 🤬 or at least 🤔 ⠀⠀ This notion of glorifying overconsumption has got to go. This idea that we can take more because we can afford more is not right. More than ever, we are buying more stuff, eating more, wasting more and throwing away more. It’s making us unhealthy and it’s destroying the only home we have. What if we glorify a new way? What if we each only take as much as we need? ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : #neednotgreed #simpleliving #foodforthought #foodwithoutboundaries #minimalism #thereisnoplanetb #ecofriendlyliving #thestoryofstuff #climatechange #gretathunberg #sustainableliving #sustainable #moodofmytable #bakingday #mtleats #pie #foodography #foodphotography #foodstyling #darkfoodphoto #darkfoodphotography #myquietbeauty #feedfeed #feedfeedbaking #food52 #montrealfood #thesupperclubmag #lifeandthyme #theuncommonbox

Why complicate life? Wholesome bread, butter, thinly sliced radishes and a sprinkle of salt.... if you insist on complicating then decorate with some chive flowers. 🙃 ⠀⠀ I’m tagging #letseatseasonalandlocal to support @simpleandsustainable Krati’s wonderful new initiative to support eating seasonal and local produce. I was so happy to find these radishes at @marchejeantalon this weekend. ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : #organic #radishes #seasonal #khorasanwheat #racontetonmarché #marchespublicsmtl #premieremoisson #mangerlocal #eatlocal #mtlfood #frenchcuisine #theartofeating #thesupperclubmag #darktablemood #tastemade #moodofmytable #mtleats #huffposttaste #foodflatlays #myeverydaymagic #ofquietmoments #seasonspoetry #igersmtl #theuncommonbox #foodphotography

#foodforthought today. I think our responsibility is more than just feeding and nurturing our children; it has to be done in a sustainable way. How can it be right that we destroy the environment and they pay the price?. ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : : #challengeforchange #sustainableliving #ecoconcious #saveouroceans #goinggreen #goingzerowaste #savenature #zerocarbonfootprint #ecofriendlyliving #environment #climatechange #thereisnoplanetb #bethechange #changemakers ⠀⠀ #pie #mycutiepie #foodphotography #theuncommonbox #darktablemood #thesupperclubmag #huffposttaste #foodblogfeed #feedfeedbaking #bakingday #indianfoodblogger #theportraitproject #moodyphotograpy #darkfoodphotography

I turned as red as this rhubarb from blushing, but thank you for all the lovely comments yesterday... will reply soon. 🤗 ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : #rhubarb #rhubarbseason #spring #shareyourtable #moodofmytable #eatprettythings #apetitejournal #seasonaleating #huffposttaste #healthyfood #healthyeating #urbangarden #organicgardening #mtlfood #mtlmoments #thesupperclubmag #ihavethisthingfordarkness #foodphotography #foodblogger #indianfoodbloggers #f52grams #theuncommonbox #infinity_red #thebeautyofsimplethings #mysimplelife #hashtagauthentic

I have a white lilac tree in my yard but not a lilac-coloured one. If you swipe, you’ll see that I do have a lilac-coloured dress though. ⠀⠀ It’s about time I posted a photo of myself, isn’t it?! 🙃 Definitely out of my comfort zone... back in high school, I was most easily the least popular girl in school and since then I’ve happily taken my place as the shy quiet one. So to be here on social media and have followers other than friends and family that are interested in me is a huge deal to me. Whether you are follower number 10 or number 3010, thank you! 🙏🏼 Today it’s your turn, tell me something about you, and please don’t be shy. xx ⠀⠀ : : : : : : : #lilac #lilacseason #springflowers #simplepleasures #moodofmytable #dansmonjardin #instagood #ihavethisthingfordarkness #thesupperclubmag #darktablemood #mypinterest #thenewhealthy #foodfluffer #eattheworld #feedfeed #f52grams #shareyourtable #foodandwine #mtlmoments #igersmtl #darkfoodphotography #mtlphotographer #lowlightphotography #selfportrait #halfthestory #love #hashtagauthentic #thisisme #asimplelife

I’m sure my DNA test results would concur... I must be 80% chickpea! 😂 I’m curious to know, what healthy food do you eat a lot of? ⠀⠀ BTW My blog is three years old this month and this is one of my earliest photos from back when I barely knew how to use a camera, duct tape held my tripod together, and all I wanted was to take photos like @abrowntable ... yes, I fell short undoubtedly 🤦‍♀️ But I keep them all up on the blog... it’s a great exercise in humility!
