of time at home so we want to really elevate our indoor space. we did everything ourselves to keep the budget way down as we were working on a very tight budget. >> the most intimidating step is getting started for many of us at least. so what are the first things that people should consider? >> the first thing we recommend is assessing your space. understanding where the sunlight is and kind of understanding what the layout is going to be so you don't want to actually plant a garden or grass where you don't have any sunlight. the other thing that you want to do is think how you'll use the space. do you want to have the sitting area here? do you want to have a dining area? do you want to have a space where you can conversate? the last thing is budget. we had to diy everything and planted all our plants and made planters and installed a pea gravel patio to keep the cost down. >> can you hear me now, by the way?

ishe aio back?, ea you say that small touches can make a big difference in the overall look. can you tell us more about how the small touches have a big impact? >> absolutely. so the key is to do the same concept for your outdoor space as you do for indoor space. you want it to be homey. create different areas for different things. we have a dining area on our deck we love to use for dining. we love to entertain friends but have a fire pit and seating around it where we can hang out after dinner like jordan is now and small touches go a long way. string lights over the seating area to create a nice warm feeling. create an intimate area with an outdoor rug as well. >> lights can really do a lot. another nice touch, plants. plants can really help a space. how do you make plants part of i tnk you're wondering

about what we're doing over here and a really fun activity as we have a lot of plants in the ground is adding a pop of color on the wall. we do that by adding a hanging plant garden. i know you have them in the studio. anybody can do it. it's a lot of fun for the kids to do. we have some pots, some paint. we have soil and plants and herbs. popsicle sticks we like to name our plants and you will need pot hooks. we got ours inexpensive at amazon. you can get them at your local plant store too. this allows you to hang them on the wall. it's a fun activity to do inside as well too. >> we'll walk you through the steps of how to do this. the first thing that we did. we got our paints together. we use a lot of different paint colors. we had to get that all set up. we taped off our pots in the design that we wanted. really fun to make some different stripes and designs, use a lot of different colors on there and went ahead and painted those. took a few coats to get it painted right. if it doesn't cover on the first round that's okay. we let those dry.nge ng the hoo

deure nindeven and then we jus plant. we put our popsicle stick in to remember the name of the plant and hang it up right over here just like this and then we just enjoy the pop of color and watch them grow. >> it's great. you guys did a great job. thank you for coming on this morning. really appreciate it. let's switch gears quickly to rob marciano. it's already been a week since the great beard shave of 2021. there he is with a big -- there he is shaving and then we did the red carpet reveal and, robert, we saw your reaction ora t'that with people at home. >> been a week, been a week now without the beard. and, kids, what do you think of daddy like this? >> hmm. >> what does that mean? >> i don't know. >> you're not crazy about it. >> i'm not crazy about it. >> ew.

times" cooking joins us. genevieve, good morning to you. it's always great to have you especially on a saturday. so you're going to -- >> good morning. >> -- show us how to make crispy oven bacon and eggs and also whipped cream scones this morning. why do you love pairing these two dishes? >> i always like to serve something sweet and salty, but i don't like to have to stand at the stove the whole time. this way you actually can bake your sweet thing first and then get your bacon and eggs in the oven and everything is ready all at the same time. if you're not into scones,

"nyt" cooking we have so many other recipes for muffins and breakfast pastry, whatever you want. at the end of the day throw everything in the oven and then it'll be ready to eat and you can just hang out. >> first up starting with the classic here for breakfast. perfect for a saturday morning. crispy oven bacon and eggs. how do you make this whole meal in just one pan? >> the amazing thing about sheet pans is that you can fit so many slices of bacon and they can all lie flat so get really crispy and don't get tangled up the way they might in a skillet and you don't have to flip them. they stay here, fry in the oven. while getting crispy in the oven let your eggs sit out at room temperature. once the bacon cooks and shrink down you have enough room to crack the eggs in the pan and fry in the oven, develop this delicious custardy texture. if you're worried about cracking the eggs right into a pan, you can break them into a bowl first and pour them all out on to the pan. >> a treat for a sweet tooth. whipped cream scones. tell us how we get it started with one pan. >> sure, so it's one pan to bake them but i have to confess two bowls to make the scone. >> wait a minute. >> you have all your dry

in green ingredients. ingredient. >> we'll let you get away with one. >> it's only two bowls. it's only two bowls. one is for your dry ingredients and here we smooshed in cold pieces of butter and that's going to make them nice and flaky and in this bowl i just whipped cream lightly to get to this point and what i want to do is add my favorite scone ingredients which are dried cranberries and chopped up chocolate. but you know what, if you don't like those you can switch in dried cranberry, raisins and if you don't feel like chopping chocolate you can throw in chocolate chips. the great thing here you don't even need another tool, just use your hands so you are going to dump in the whipped cream and whipping cream first will add little air bubbles to the cream and will i ly love to just make t becaut really tender and light. you just want to handle the dough so gently so they don't end up tough and once you have your dough come together, you can just form it into these great little balls and dump them

right onto the pan so you don't even have to actually roll out the dough, use a rolling pin, use cookie cutters or anything. if you're not a morning person, one of my favorite things about this scone recipe and actually most scone recipes is that you can put this dough in the freezer the night before and then just bake it straight from the freezer in the morning. >> all right. fantastic. quick check with the taste testers. all good over there? >> all good. really good. janai told me about something called a bacon wrapped scone. >> that's another segment. genevieve, thank you. you can check out her book "better baking" for more great recipes. we'll be right back.
