Almond Raspberry Bars

February 18, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a good Friday!  Work was great and I got a surprise from my Boss!  We have off on Monday for Presidents Day.  We never get that day off but our building is closed so it means no work.  Woohoo!  Three day weekend and it wasn’t even planned.  I love those type of surprises.

Then I got an e-mail from Daily Buzz and my Chocolate Almond Nut Butter made the top 9 list!  That made me so happy and proud.  If you want to check the recipe out go here.

When I came home from work I wasn’t feeling like doing kickboxing and since it was so nice out I jogged 3 miles.  I know for a lot of you runners it doesn’t sound like much, but for me it’s a big deal.  I did it in 35 minutes.  It felt so nice to just get out there and go.  I have to say I am getting out of shape, my legs are sore.  So it’s a good thing I did it.


For today’s recipe I made Almond Raspberry Bars.  I love-making bar cookies, there so easy and there pretty too.  I made these a few weeks ago, and looking at the picture I wish I had more.  I got this recipe from the Realistic Nutritionist.  I didn’t realize until I pulled my notes out, that these are her recipe.  It seems I have been making a lot of goodies from The Realistic Nutritionist lately, more coming this week.  I’m really trying to be better when it comes to my treats and snacks, but it’s hard.  So check out the Realistic Nutritionist if you want healthy treats and meals!

I changed the recipe up a little to make it even more healthy for me, since I tend to eat more then one bar, I’ll eat like 3 or 4. I’m horrible.  I make these for portion control, but that doesn’t seem to work for me.  This bar is made with fresh raspberries and raspberry preserves.  If you like a sweeter bar, I recommend adding more sugar to the recipe.

Almond raspberry bars – adapted from The Realistic Nutritonist

Ingredients:

1 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 cup oat flour (process oats in a found processor until ground)

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (can sub in cinnamon)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup almond meal (I bought it at Trader Joe’s)

1 large egg

1/4 cup oil (canola or vegetable works)

3/4 cup fresh raspberries

1/2 cup low sugar raspberry preserves

Additional almonds for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside

Whisk flour, ground oats, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, almond meal and salt together.

Add egg and oil and mix well until a wet, moist crumble forms. Save at least 1/2 cup. Press crumble into the bottom of the baking dish until an even layer forms.

Bake for 10 minutes or until crust begins to brown a little.

Meanwhile, mash fresh raspberries and raspberry preserves together. When crust is done baking yet still warm pour fruit over it.

Cover with remaining 1/2 cup of crumble. Garnish with additional almonds and bake for 18 minutes, or until fruit is bubbly.

Serving Size: 16 – 2″ pieces

Calories per bar:  116, Fat:  4.7,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  83,  Potassium:  36,  Carbs:  17,  Fiber:  2.1,  Sugar: 6.5,  Protein:  2.2

Well my friends, it’s a short post tonight.  I need to head to Trader Joe’s before they close. I am completely out of milk and yogurt and if I don’t have milk in the morning for my coffee, I’ll be one crabby camper.  However I guess I could walk to Starbucks, but nah!  I’ll want coffee as soon as I get up!  🙂

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a wonderful Saturday.  I’m giving you a tip today, get out there and do something for yourself.  Wither it is taking time to read a book, play on the computer or make yourself a special treat, just do it!  Your worth it and you’ll be happy and so will the people around you!  Enjoy!!

      I doubt I’ll be a sprinter, but I’ll try to keep up on it! However sprinting would get me home quicker, then I’ll be done exercising! 🙂 What a horrible way for me to think.

    I wish Starbucks was within walking distance from my house…though it could be seriously dangerous! I’d also love one of these bars to wake up to 🙂 Anything with fruit counts as breakfast, right?

      Yah, Starbucks is less then a 1/2 mile away, it is dangerous, but I’m glad it’s there!! 🙂 I tell myself I have to walk there if I want one, that way I go less. lol

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Here are the sources for my tiered tray:

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
☕️
What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
