Neapolitan Pancakes

February 12, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone!

How did your Saturday go?  For me, kind of boring!  I don’t even know what I did, just a little bit of this and that.  I did manage to get my workout in this morning, so I am happy to report I did strength training 3 times this week, and I did cardio for two, and I did do some walking during work.  Every little bit helps. I am happy to say that on Facebook I asked Chris Freyteg about weight and why I’m gaining weight while exercising and eating within my calorie ranges, and she actually responded to me.  Now I don’t know if it was her or her people who keep her FB page, but I was happy I got a response.  This is the question and what she said.

Me:  Hi Chris, I have been working out 5 times a week, eating healthy 80% of the time and staying within 1500 calories a day! I keep gaining weight. I was maintaining for about a year and then boom, the weight started to come back! I am now 5lbs heavier since November. It’s so frustrating! Any advice?

For workouts for the past 2 weeks, I have been using your extreme slim down.

Chris:  Hmmm – that seems strange…. Make sure your calories are correct… that is most people’s (including me) biggest miscalculation… or maybe after a year you now need more calories or different ones… when your body feels stagnant – best thing to do is make a change in your exercise routine and food choices!!! ALSO – could it be muscle? I don’t know you so I don’t know your routine …but I weigh like 15 lbs more than I did 15 years ago but still wear the same size….


I thought that was nice!  It’s nice to get a response from someone of her stature.

Ok, now for the good things!  This is what I made for breakfast on Saturday and it was so dam good I couldn’t wait to share!

Yah!  That’s my Neapolitan Pancakes.  Made with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla!  Little Jenny said the pancakes tasted like a brownie.  I thought this was amazing.  But before I get to that, I wanted to give you a review of a new item I tried from Trader Joe’s.  It’s the Guilt Free Chicken Breasts with Poblano Sauce.

I am normally not one for tv type dinners, but I saw the words Poblano and 210 calories, I just had to try it.  This is what it looked like microwaved on my plate.

It looks ok, but the portion is small.  The chicken is, my guess, about 2 oz & 16 grams of protein.  Two pieces of the chicken were kind of chewy, but the bigger one was good.  I thought the flavor of the risotto was nice and I like the corn.  I did have to add some Franks Hot Sauce to it, for added flavor, but I put that sh!t on everything (lol).  I think this would be a good meal for lunch with a side salad, but it wasn’t enough for dinner.  There is the option of cooking in the oven but it takes 30 minutes.  If I have to wait 30 minutes, I might as well make a full piece of chicken with a side of rice.  I rate this out of 5 stars, about 2.5 – 3.  Would I buy this again?  Maybe, when I’m in a pinch for a quick meal.

Now time for breakfast!

I adapted this from my whole wheat yogurt pancakes recipe.  I used one 6 oz container of Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt for the pancakes and for the sauce on top.  I also made a Strawberry Quick Jam, which I love.  I wanted to give you the recipe for jam earlier, but I never got a chance.  I make this all the time and use it for PB&J sandwiches, on my yogurt, ice cream, oatmeal, pancakes and more.  I just love it!!

The pancakes are light, fluffy and taste of chocolate, but not to sweet for the morning.  However they do taste of a brownie.  I was actually pretty impressed on how they taste, because, he he, I tasted the batter, hey I was curious, it tasted gross!  I thought I was heading on the 2nd weekend of pancake flops, but nope this one turned out very nice!  It was actually perfect!  Exactly what I was hoping for and the best part is it tasted goooooood and kept me full for hours.  I didn’t even want to eat lunch!

I really enjoyed the sauce on the pancakes.  I took 3 tablespoons of Chobani Vanilla Greek yogurt and added 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.  With the strawberries and sauce, there is no need for maple syrup on these babies!!  I love that, less calories!!

Strawberry Quick Jam

Ingredients:

3 Cups of diced strawberries or frozen (I used a bag of frozen strawberries)

1 Tbsp. Sugar (If your strawberries are tart, add more sugar)

1/2 lemon, juice only

Directions:

Put a plate in the freezer till cold and then have it ready to test your jam.

In a large bowl crush your strawberries and then transfer to a large heavy skillet. Add the sugar and lemon. Turn heat to med – high and stir. After about 8 minutes test your jam, by placing a half a tsp on the cold plate. Wait a few seconds, if it is runny, then keep cooking your strawberries. Try again in another minute, you need to do this until the jam is in a jelly form. Once it is, your all done.

Place the jam in a jar  or glass bowl with a lid.  Cool on the counter then store in the refrigerator.

Makes 1 3/4 cups – 24 tablespoons

Calories per tablespoon:  9.2,  Fat:  0,  Sodium:  0,  Potassium:  34,  Carbs:  2.4,  Fiber:  .04,  Sugar:  1.4,  Protein:  0

Make your own jam, it’s quick, easy and cheap! Look at the calories and this tastes way better than store-bought!

I really love the Strawberry Jam!  I usually by cases of strawberries in the summer and make this jam weekly.  I also do this with other berries, like my Wild Berry Compote.  I didn’t start my blog till the fall, so you’ll see this summer that I use a lot of berries, there my favorite!!!

Neapolitan Pancakes

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup of Greek Vanilla Yogurt (6 oz container for whole recipe, just reserve 3 tbsp. for sauce)

2 egg Whites

1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/3 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Sugar

1 dash salt

2 Tbsp. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

3/4 Tbsp. Mini Chocolate Chips

Cooking Spray

12 tbsp. Strawberry Quick Jam

Yogurt Sauce:

3 Tbsp. Vanilla Yogurt

1 tbsp. Maple Syrup

Directions:

For Pancakes – Mix yogurt, egg whites & vanilla extract into a small bowl

In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar, & salt

Combine flour mixture to the yogurt mixture and whisk till evenly mixed.

Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place 1/4-cup batter onto the skillet and drop a few pieces of the mini chocolate chips into the pancake batter and cook till bubbles start appearing through the top of the pancake and then flip. NOTE: Cook on medium heat and I flattened out my batter with the spatula to cook more evenly.

About 1-2 minutes on each side

For Yogurt Syrup:
Add yogurt and maple syrup in a small bowl and stir together until combined.

To assemble: On one pancake, I added about 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam and a little bit of the yogurt sauce, top with next pancake and repeat layers.

For fun add some whip cream and a cherry on top!

Enjoy!

Makes 6 pancakes, 3 each, Serves 2

Calories per serving (serving size 3 pancakes):  204,  Fat:  2.7,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  271,  Potassium:  137,  Carbs:  32,  Fiber:  4.4,  Sugar:  7.3,  Protein:  16.2

I did not include the strawberry jam in the calculation.  The jam is good for you add as much as you like!  🙂

I am loving these pancakes.  Funny I haven’t had pancakes in years, and then I tried a yogurt pancake at a restaurant this past summer and I was hooked!  I knew I needed to create the recipe, and I did and now I keep creating more.  I can’t wait to see what I create next.  Pancakes are so fun and they do put a smile on your face.

Now these pancakes don’t need anything extra to them, there perfect the way they are, but…. You know Neapolitan Ice Cream wouldn’t be the same without whip cream and a cherry, well Neapolitan Pancakes would like that love too!!!

He he, they do make me happy!!!  If you like chocolate, vanilla and strawberries, you must, must, must try this recipe!  You won’t be disappointed!  Just look at the inside!!

Welp, it’s 8pm on a Saturday night, and I need to bake something, something I tell ya!  So I am off!  Have a wonderful weekend!  Relax, stay warm and just enjoy your day, you know you deserve it, but be sure to make pancakes first!

Oh, I updated my Trader Joe’s Page, so check it out!!  Have a great day!!!!

      Thanks!! I think it’s important to get an idea on what calories are before we eat something, so we don’t over indulge.

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
