Ingredients:

4 cups fresh blackberries

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 large egg

1 cup sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

6 tablespoons butter, melted

whipped cream (optional)

Garnish: fresh mint sprig

Preperation:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Place blackberries in a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish; sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir together egg, sugar, and flour in a medium bowl until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over fruit. Drizzle melted butter over topping. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream, if desired. Garnish with fresh mint sprig, if desired.
2. For a neat presentation, bake for the same amount of time in 6 (8-oz.) ramekins on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.

You can do so much with this idea.. The possibilities are endless!! Got pets that you absolutely LOVE to show off?? Well that wall is the best place for it :D -- But like I said.. the possibilities are ENDLESS!! You can basically get everything you need at your local craft store so don't get scared, just bring this idea to the store if you can't figure it out yourself and they will be sure to help you get what you need!! I haven't attempted it yet, but It's definitely going on my To Do List!! Have fun with it, don't forget!! :D (imagine a cute little table in front of it too!!)

Organize your goals!

Amanda here with Tuesdays free for all goodness! --- So I am a pinning addict :) Not so much the past month or so, but I do love Pinterest! I have found some neat ideas on there, from recipes to DIY projects. Well I like to be organized and have set goals for myself, and tend to write out to do lists A LOT! But never seem to have my goals in order!!!! This idea from good ol' Pinterest really seems interesting, I haven't tried it yet, but I am definitely going to :) &I hope you guys do too!

Looks pretty easy right?! I don't think there's much need for a "How to" to make up something like this, because you can go about this in all kinds of ways, but I plan on making it quite similar, so I do have the link to the blog that has the steps to making this crafty Goal List :) 

You can find it here at Cornflower Blue Studio's Blog

BUT!! Here's the steps for you now! :D

**All quoted by the blogger at Cornflower Blue Studio**

I TAKE NO CREDIT!!!

You'll need post-it notes, a pencil, markers, a ruler, and an 11 x 14 inch piece of bristol board or heavy card stock.

Start by sketching out a simple layout with your pencil.  I left a half-inch border around the entire design, then added a 4.5 x 10 inch rectangle at the top of the page.  Use the bottom section of the page to add six three inch squares, evenly spaced.  And one more square inside the rectangle, too!

Now you can use your markers to fill in the design with lettering, doodles, borders, or whatever you like!

Next you need to decide on the time frame for your goals - are these weekly goals, things you want to accomplish this month, this season?  It's up to you, and you can always change it because you can switch out the post-it note whenever you like.  I decided to make my goals for the week this time.

Now fill in your goal squares with more post-its.  You can put the most pressing goals first, and order the rest in terms of importance.  Remove the goals as they are accomplished so you can keep track of your progress : )

I used a little silver clip to hang my list where I can see it as I work.

Here is an example of one of my template packs and a layout created by CT member Sharon:

Something smells good!!

Hey guys! This is Amanda, and proud team member of Scrap-n-a-Snap Designs - the go to place for those must have scrapping templates! Well Today is Tuesday, and Tuesday's I will be mixing it up a bit - whether id be posting about a seasonal tip, household tip, recipe, or anything else I can come up with!. Be sure to check in because you never know what you will be reading ;) So let's get to it!! -- Today I have for you gals this great recipe I just threw together on Mothers Day. It was just me and my 16 month old son all alone that day, I got a lot done... Some much needed cleaning (lol), baked some yummy strawberry cupcakes, and then I cooked myself this delicious dinner!! So here it is... :)

Sesame Ginger Stir-fry with Salmon:

Ingredients:
2 Salmon steaks (with the skin on the bottom because we are grilling tonight!!)
1 Bottle of Sesame Ginger marinade (Any brand will do!)
Garlic (2 cloves crushed for the salmon-- 3 cloves finely chopped for the stir-fry)
3 Whole Carrots sliced (Or more or less, depending on you!!)
1 Package of sliced Mushrooms
Frozen or fresh Snow peas or Sugar Snap Peas (YUM)
1 Chopped Onion
ANY OTHER VEGGIES YOU WISH TO ADD!! GET CREATIVE :D
Salt
Soy Sauce
Rice (White or Brown)


Directions:
First we are going to be marinating the Salmon for a bit. Take a big bowl or a large zip-lock bag, place the Salmon steaks in them, along with the 2 crushed cloves of garlic and some of the Sesame Ginger marinade. Put it in the fridge and let it sit while you prepare the rest! If you would like, do this even earlier so it sits longer :D

Next we are going to work on the stir-fry! add some olive oil to a large pot/pan. Saute the sliced carrots first until they are slightly golden, add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms next and cook together until softened. Next we are going to add the snow peas/ sugar snap peas. ( If need be add a little water to prevent anything from burning!!) When all the veggies are in and ready add the Sesame Ginger marinade with a splash of Soy sauce... Don't salt the stir-fry. Let the whole thing simmer for a while :)

Go ahead and cook your rice in the rice cooker or however else you go about doing it :D

Now for the Salmon! Get the grill fired up and prepped. Place the salmon on the grill on its side with the skin on it keeps it together and prevents it from breaking apart and falling into the grill. salt the top of each steak and grill away! Add marinade while grilling if needed or wanted of course :D

And then you have this!!!

So far it's been a hit! Hope that continues :D

And now to some scrapping!! So since the summer is just starting Id like to show you gals this lovely template Melody made :D
