Hopefully the project we’ve gathered for you today will inspire you to make some changes or at least give you some good ideas for the perfect entryway organizer. Instead of hiding your shoes under a bench or inside a closet, how about you put them on display?

You can select a few that would look cool up there and hide the rest. Check out the project on lilyardor. Some things can look nice and be...

Slow cookers are excellent tools for getting dinner on the table, or for weekend batch cooking projects. But your Crock Pot is good for more than just dinner. You can also make dessert, including excellent chocolate chip cookies. These yummy slow cooker chocolate chip cookie bars are on the ooey gooey side, perfect for snacking or as the base for an ice cream sundae. Making the cookie dough starts off like many cookie recipes. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose-flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, mix the white sugar, brown sugar and  melted butter together until smooth, then stir in eggs and vanilla extract, mixing the ingredients together until everything is evenly incorporated.

I have named this a Garden harvest cake, as it is full of seasonal ingredients that are available to forage for in the hedgerows or your gardens right now!.

Apple, blackberries and elderberries with a toasted fig leaf caramel flavoured mascarpone frosting. Adorned with caramelised apple slices, elderberries, and of course a bit or dried foliage for extra wow factor. Fig leaf caramel is my new favourite thing as it has a beautifully nutty flavour that reminds me of toasted coconut, the smell it lets off as you gently toast the leaves fills the air with the most beautiful scent. Fig leaves I picked the fig leaves from my mums garden, they are a wonderful thing to cook with as they have so much flavour to infuse. The small leaves on a plant that is full of fruit will give the most flavour, so they are perfect at this...
