Taco Wontons

March 5, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 29 Comments

Happy Monday!

It was simply gorgeous this weekend!  I love the warm weather, it was actually so warm I was sweating!  On Sunday I finished pulling my weeds in my vegetable garden and pulled out my mint, which was taking over.  Don’t plant mint in a garden, it really spreads.  I know I’ll be pulling mint out probably for the next couple of years!  My strawberry plants have some berries on them and I saw quite a few lady bugs and worms.  Yah!  Last year was my very first vegetable garden so this is year two.  My soil was pure sand, so I really gave it some love last year and my garden did wonderful!!  All that work paid off because my soil is now perfect.  So all I have to do is add some new compost and I’m ready for spring planting.

I also did what I would say yesterday, I woke up and did 40 minutes of strength training, so glad that I did that.  I feel great!  I also walked to Starbucks instead of driving there, that’s only a mile round trip.  I saved gas and I got some exercise, not to mention had a Trenta ice coffee, with sugar-free vanilla and sugar-free caramel with non-fat milk.  I always ask to put in a shot of milk, so my drink is about 20 calories.  Can’t beat that!!  Now that it’s Sunday night, my legs are a little sore.  I think it was all the squatting I did in the yard.  No pain, no gain.  I’m really trying to be better on exercise and eating!!

On Friday night I made Taco Wontons for dinner.  This is such an easy and great appetizer.  I made tacos, and had leftover meat, so I thought why not.  So glad I did!  I made 15 Taco Wontons and I ate 4 of them and my husband ate the rest.  He said he loved them.  He must have, he gobbled them right up!


I really love working with wonton wrappers.  I get on these kicks on certain products and I can’t stop.  I already have some other ideas that I’m cooking up.  You can stuff these bad boys with anything!

All I did was add 1 teaspoon of ground beef, 1 teaspoon of salsa and a sprinkle of cheese. Then seal up and bake for 15 minutes and serve with greek yogurt and salsa for dipping.  Perfecto!  It doesn’t sound like much ingredients, but it’s enough.  I over did the cheese on a couple and they oozed with cheese, so a sprinkle is perfect.

Taco Wontons

Ingredients:

2 1/2 oz cooked taco ground beef (I used lean 96/4)

1/3 cups salsa (your favorite, I used Trader Joe’s Chunky Salsa)

1 oz (1/4 cup) light Mexican cheese, shredded

15 wonton wrappers

spray butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350, line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a tiny bowl, add some water. This is for sealing the edges of your wontons.

Place 1 tsp. of ground beef into wrapper and top with 1 tsp. salsa and a pinch of cheese, take your finger and dip in water and place along the edges of the wrapper (this will be the glue to seal the wrappers together). Fold wrapper over into triangle place on baking sheet. Do the same for the rest of the wrappers. Spray each wonton with about two sprays of butter.

Bake in over for 15 minutes, until lightly brown.

Serve with greek yogurt and salsa

Makes 15 Taco Wontons

Calories per Taco Wonton:  36,  Fat:  .07,  Cholesterol:  4,  Sodium:  58,  Potassium:  7,  Carbs:  5.3,  Fiber:  .01,  Sugar:  .04,   Protein:  2.3

If you’re looking for an appetizer for a party or a quick meal, you must make these.  You will not be disappointed!  I’m wondering if I could make a batch and freeze them before cooking them?  I bet it would work?  I freeze my wonton wrappers and they are fine.  This would be wonderful for fend for yourself night.

I want to congratulate Erin from Spiffy Cookie for winning the Peanut Butter Lovers Gift Pack.  I also want to thank everyone for entering.  I had fun with this, and I plan on doing another giveaway soon.  I just need to think of something creative.  Oh and I am going to make some cookies, that someone posted.  Once I make them, I’ll post them.  There are so many great recipes, and if you have a Peanut Butter recipe you want to share, the link is still open, so please add it.  You can never have enough peanut butter.

Also, not putting pressure on you, but as some of you know, Peanut Butter and Peppers was nominated by Fitness Magazine for Best Healthy Eating Blog.  I would love it, if you would vote for me.  So far I only have 16 votes.  🙁  If you want to vote, please go here.

Have a great week and I’ll see you, same bat time, same bat channel.  (I’m such a geek)

    It’s taken me a while but I’m really starting to love strength training…and even, sigh, squats. 😛 GO YOU for walking to Starbucks! That’s the kind of active living that I love.

      I actually like strength training so much better than cardio, I feel stronger, but I know cardio burns more fat! But I must do it equally, I shouldn’t favor one over the other.

Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready!

I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year.

I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!
💗
Hope you have a wonderful day! I’ll be working on the living room today.

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!!

Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
