What's a green thumb?!

As spring approaches are you thinking about your garden!?
I am! 
As I look at a photo of the first yield from the garden last year.


Well. let's say I bought some of the seeds and plants to help start the garden.
That's about the only thing I really did
besides go and get what my family members worked so hard to turn it into.
I don't have so much of the green thumb in the family. I do 
plan on working on those skills the year!!! I am sure my parents and grandmother 
will be pleased for the extra hands in helping with the garden this year.

When I found this blog apartment therapy with the how to grow an 
avocado tree I jumped on the ban wagon.
These pictures are on day 3. So I'll update the growth in a couple weeks! 
Check it out and see if you can do it too!

PB & J

A perfect finger food!
Peanut butter stuffed Blackberries are like mini PB & J without all the bread!!!! 




You will need:
1 Container fresh Blackberries
1/2 Bag peanut butter chips
1/2 Teaspoon shorting (optional)


Rinse Blackberries


Then lay them on a towel and pat dry.


Make a small cut down one side, but not all the way through.
Just enough to open the blackberries up. 



Pour peanut butter chip in a microwave safe dish and heat in 15 second at a time until melted smooth.
Add shorting and mix well. 

Pour mix into a zip lock baggie and snip a corner.

Fill each berry with filling and let them set up for 15 mins.



Enjoy!!!
