Dinner and a Layout
Start your day by choosing one photo or a set of photos that will be grouped together. Here's mine:
Hang it on your fridge as a motivator. Go about your day thinking of how you will later be rewarded with some sweet time with your lonely adhesive and paper cutter. I don't want you to get so tired making dinner that you can't scrap, so here is a recipe that start to finish is only 30 minutes and super delicious:

"This eggplant goes well with some steamed green beans and French or Italian bread. Although the recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs, you can use regular bread crumbs if you wish. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste."
Ingredients:
1 egg 1 tablespoon water 1 small eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch thick slices 1 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned | 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese |
Directions:
| 1. | In a small bowl beat the egg and water together. Place the bread crumbs in shallow dish. Dip eggplant slices in egg mixture then in crumbs, being sure to coat thoroughly. |
| 2. | Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add eggplant slices and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and tender. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggplant during last minute of cooking to melt. |
| 3. | While eggplant is cooking, combine spaghetti sauce and pepper flakes in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and cook at high power for 2 minutes or until heated through. |
| 4. | Top eggplant with sauce and Parmesan cheese and serve. |

I made it last night and it was a huge hit with my entire family (even my 3 year old). One thing I did do different is peel stripes down the eggplant so there is not so much peel (I don't care for the peel). I also tossed my eggplant with 2 eggs, a little salt and the tablespoon of water in a gallon ziploc. I let the eggplant soak the mixture up for about 5-10 minutes, so they weren't so bitter. Also, I used Panko bread crumbs. They're the best!
Now get those kids bathed, read to and safely tucked into bed so you can scrap.
Now set the timer for 30 minutes and start scrapping. Don't worry about the time. Just get your creative juices flowing. Take a picture of what you have accomplished at the end of 30 minutes. Email it to me at momthescrapper@gmail.com by Sunday night. You may just surprise your self. If you need a little more time to finish, go for it! I will post the pictures I get.
I'll be back tomorrow with my 30 minute layout!
Get Scrappin'
