contributors WELCOME TO OUR FIRST ISSUE! Over several cocktails we decided to put together a magazine that documents whatever inspires us (which is everything). In our issues, we share our obsessions and love for design, craft projects, traveling, food, shopping and the simple joys of hanging out with friends. There are no themes, no rules, no limits … it’s boundless.

Mary Had

a Little Lamb That was cooked to perfection... For the lamb-eating lover in you, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recipe that is oh-so-good and only takes about 40 minutes to make from start to finish!

Purchase 3 lamb T-bones from your local grocery store.

Season with onion powder, seasoned salt, a LOT of garlic powder and a LOT of ground pepper. *note: the garlic powder and ground pepper are the key to this recipe.

Season with ingredients.

Oil pan with your choice of oil. My favorite, olive oil in a Misto sprayer. The misto takes the oil and sprays it out as a nice even mist.

Place on low-medium heat for 10 minutes with lid on, then flip to the other side and let it sit for another 10 minutes with lid on. Or cook to desired texture.

Boil some veggies. I use frozen veggies since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and easy.

Baaah...

Done!

A nice meal for one! Enjoy! boundless summer

Let them eat cake!

from a jar

instructions:

1. 2

Find your favorite cake mix and supporting ingredients, or make it from scratch. (To speed things along, I used a boxed cake mix. But I will definitely go from scratch next time.) The best part about making your own is that you can make half of one kind and half of another! You'll also need a bunch of canning jars - straight sides, wide mouthed. I got the wee-est ones I could find for cuteness' sake. You can definitely make them in bigger jars. Boil or wash the jars to sterilize them. You'll want brand-spanking-new lids to make a tight seal when you're done.

2. 3 3.

Make the batter according to the directions on the box. Fill the jars about halfway with batter. If you fill them too full, you can always squish them down, or cut the tops off. But too much batter will result in them flowing over the sides of the jars. Bake according to directions for cupcakes, and check for doneness. These are about cupcake size, but your jars may be larger and need more time. When they’re done, close the lids on ‘em. They’re self-sealing, and you’ll be able to see the seal forming! Make sure to screw those caps on while the cakes are still hot though, to get that all-important seal.

4 4.

Once you’ve sealed these little treats, lable and date them. Then you’re ready to serve, ship, or store. No need to pop them out, they’re easy to eat right out of the jar! Enjoy!

These tiny delights make the perfect gifts for any occasion.

Make up a batch to keep on hand for sudden cravings, give as favors for your next party, or send to loved ones overseas. The cakes will remain moist and delicious for up to 6 months! What better way to show someone you care than a personalized cake in a jar! boundless summer
