Chicken Vegetable Soup / Weekly Recap

December 9, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Wow, I can’t get over that it is Sunday already!  The weekend really flies by!  This Saturday I kept pretty busy, by baking, making Artichoke Jalapeno Dip, again (I’m so loving this dip), re-making White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Cookies for you and of course my weekly trip to Trader Joe’s.  All in all I had a pretty busy weekend.

Today I have for a very filling, tasty, healthy good for the soul Chicken Vegetable Soup.  Normally on the weekend, I like to make big meals, but since it’s holiday season, I haven’t had the time to make nice dinners with all the baking and shopping I have been doing.  This morning, I smartened up and decided to bring out the Crockpot, so when dinner time came around I wouldn’t be too lazy to cook and dinner would be done for me!  You just have to love the Crockpot!!


The soup is really easy to throw together.  I placed two frozen boneless chicken breasts in a crockpot, added a can of diced tomatoes, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, edemame, corn, chicken broth and seasonings.  Basically you can add any vegetables you like.  I thought of adding potatoes and broccoli, but I decided against it.  Since I used low sodium chicken broth, I did need to add a little bit of salt to it at the end.  I love low sodium chicken broth but in some dishes, a little extra salt is needed.

The recipe makes a little over 6 cups of soup.  I made some homemade bread to go with it, which is so good.  I’m going to be sharing the recipe with you later this week!  I also made a little side salad.  It is a perfect meal for a chilly evening!  I have leftovers, so it will make for a nice lunch tomorrow!

This week, you asked me if I could make my White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Cookies without butter.  I did that today and the outcome is ok.  Instead of using butter I used 1 cup of plain greek yogurt, but left the rest of the ingredients the same.  The cookies, turned out more like a chewy brownie.  I didn’t taste the espresso so much and it didn’t have the cookie texture that I was looking for.  However, if you like peppermint brownies and your looking for healthy alternative, I highly recommend subbing the butter for greek yogurt.  They taste good, but it’s not a cookie.  I took a picture of them, just after I put the white chocolate glaze on top.  Little Jenny took them before I could style them for you.  I’ll put the nutrition and recipe alternative on the White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha recipe page.

Here is this weeks weekly recap:

Monday:  Almost Sugarless Sugar Cookie – I was really surprised, but everyone loved these cookies, and I loved telling them they are sugarless!  No one believes me.  lol  I even made my Pepper Jelly on Saturday and used NuNaturals Presweet Tagatose in it and it worked out perfect!  I love that I can have sweet things without having sugar!!  I contacted Ron from NuNaturals to give him the two winners of the giveaway and he said he will wait for the other two.  I said other two, he said yah, you can pick four people to win the giveaway!  Woohoo!!  Guess what?  That means two more winners, and the winners are:

Wednesday:  White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Cookies – I loved these little cookies.  I think they taste so much like my peppermint latte.  They are easy to make and oh so cute!!  They are one cookie that I can’t keep around me because I wouldn’t have any issues finishing off the whole batch!
Thursday:  Broccoli and Cheese Egg Bake – This makes for a wonderful, healthy breakfast!  It’s full of broccoli, spinach and cheese and it’s ohhy, gooey good!!  It’s very filling too, perfect meal before school or work.

Saturday:  Peanut Butter Hummus – I love this hummus!  It’s has a pinch of sweetness and a small kick of heat!  It’s perfect for dipping pita or lavash crackers in it or it’s wonderful in a sandwich!!!  Yummy!!
Well my Friends, time to go!  My Internet has been having issues cutting in and out, so I want to get my post done before I lose it!
Have a great Sunday!

Hi Everyone! Summer sure came. It was 106 yesterda Hi Everyone! Summer sure came. It was 106 yesterday and today cooler at 103. Holy Moly! I think I could fry an egg outside.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.
🌸
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
