My Skinny Mexican Dinner Comes together

April 27, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 127 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I am so happy it’s Friday!  What a long and crazy week.  I worked late again on Thursday, which is just killing me.  I am just happy to be home and Friday is a half day!  Woohoo!!  This week you may have noticed a slight theme with my posts, it all seems to be Mexican.  This past Sunday I made my yummy Mexican dinner and this week I thought I would give you bits and pieces of it, well now you can see it all together.

I started the week out with my wonderful flank steak!  Thank you everyone on twitter who suggested it!  It was perfect the night I made it and the next night too!


I served my flank steaks on my homemade Flour Tortilla Shells.  I made those a while ago, but there such a hit I made them again!!

I also made my homemade guacamole which was fantastic!  I am so happy I could eat it!  I really thought I was allergic to avocados.

I used my guacamole in my portion control 6 Layer Taco Dip!  I love this stuff I could eat it all, lucky I portion controlled it!

Of course you get my homemade tortilla chips!!!  So simple and easy to make!

I loved my dinner this week, and I made it a few days in a row!   I can so eat Mexican everyday!!!

Your probably thinking, ya, ya, we saw that this week and you’re wondering what the giveaway is.  Well hold on my dears, first look what I got this week!

I finally signed up for the CSA!  I got my very first box on Wednesday morning.  I was very pleased, everything was crisp, fresh and organic.  Not to bad for $15.00!  So with that, my giveaway is perfect!

I received not one, not two, but three Salad Spinners from OXO for me to giveaway!  They  actually sent me an extra shipment by mistake, and when I contacted them, they were nice enough to tell me to keep them.  I want to let you know that OXO has not paid me or asked me to tell you anything.  These products were free from them and all they ask for is my honest opinion of the product.  So with that said, I thought I would give the Salad Spinner a Spin.

First I washed my lettuce that I got from the CSA and put it in the Salad Spinner.

Just push down on the handle and give a spin.

Ta da!  After a few spins my lettuce was dry!

You can use the bowl for serving your salad or you can put the lid back on and store in the refrigerator.  I would have done that, but I didn’t have any room in there.  It’s to loaded with all my fruits and vegetables.

I really liked this product!  It will come in handy for my farmers market produce. Oh and it says you add berries to it and give it a spin.  I plan on trying that next, since I buy so many berries!

To enter, all you have to do is tell me your favorite kind of salad!

5 Additional chances to win:  Oh and be sure you tell me you did this.

  • Sign up for email/subscribe to Peanut Butter and Peppers

  • Tweet my giveaway:   OXO Salad Spinner Giveaway at Peanut Butter and Peppers http://wp.me/p2aEXh-1jP

The giveaway ends on Monday, April 30th, at 4pm (PST).  I’ll pick 3 winners through random.org and announce the winner on Tuesday, May 1st.  Sorry, US only.

Hasta la vista baby!  😉

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Jennifer

    My favorite is an Asian salad (like they have at Panera Bread) with romaine, spinach, arugula, shredded carrots, cilantro, sesame seed, slivered almonds, whatever else is in the fridge, and a sweet asian dressing.

    That dinner looks mouthwatering, way better than anything you could get at a Mexican restaurant around here. And coincidentally, I am a huge fan of Mexican salads. I love a little bit of cheese, pico de gallo, tons of beans and a dressing with a kick to it. I’m completely in the mood for Mexican food now 🙂

    Choosing a favorite salad is so difficult! I would say mine is spring mix and romaine with sliced strawberries, mandarin oranges, glazed pecans, blue cheese and a raspberry viniagrette. YUM!

    My favorite salad which I have managed to get my whole family hooked on as well is a spinach, strawberry and pecan salad with homemade sweet poppy seed dressing 🙂

    I love so many different salad combinations but lately I’ve been enjoying baby spinach with roasted asparagus, broccoli and brussel sprouts with poached salmon. Great giveaway!

I gave our backyard bench area a little Fall makeover with pumpkins, cozy pillows and a rug—and I LOVE how inviting it looks! 🧡

And of course, the dogs had to supervise… because apparently no decorating project is complete without them! 🐾😂

This is just the beginning because we’re going to be adding LOTS more pumpkins over the next week. 🎃🎃🎃 Give me ALL the pumpkins!

Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bus Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bush 🦋🌸

This compact butterfly bush packs a lot of benefits into a smaller plant! It produces beautiful lilac scented blooms, attracts pollinators, has a long blooming season, and adds gorgeous color to the garden without taking up a ton of space.

If you’re looking for a pollinator-friendly plant that works beautifully in a sun to part-sun garden, the Pugster® Butterfly Bush is definitely one to consider! 🌿🦋

Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾 S Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾

Sully passed away at only 2 years old from osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced.

I created Sully’s Garden to keep his memory alive—to have a little place in our garden that would always remind me of my sweet boy. 🌿💙

His garden sign now has a special place in a planter, surrounded by flowers and love. Every time I see it, I think of Sully.

He may not be here beside me, but he will always be a part of our home, our garden, and my heart. 🌈🐾

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Sully. ❤️

Check my newest YouTube video of Sully’s Garden.

Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends! 

I am absolutely loving Proven Winners’ Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena pulchella)! This is my first year growing it, and I’m already thinking it will be back in the garden next year. 💗

It has the cutest bright pink, globe-shaped flowers, and this little flower loves the heat! When temperatures hit the mid-90s, the Truffula Pink really shines. ☀️

Oddly enough, I don’t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this week—and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! 🦋💗

For that reason alone, I’ll definitely be growing it again next year!

🌸 Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth
• Annual
• Zones 9a–11b
• Height: 22–28”
• Spread: 22–26”
• Full sun ☀️
• Drought tolerant
• Pink flowers
• Great in containers or planted directly in the ground
• Low maintenance
• No deadheading required

Have you grown Truffula Pink Gomphrena? 🌸🦋
