Pear and Cream Cheese Fillo Cups / Recipe Recap

December 23, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Sunday,

Do you ever have one of those days where nothing goes according to your plans?  That was my Saturday!  In the morning, I did my routine, exercise, have breakfast take a shower.  As lazy as I felt I told myself, you are going to clean the front room, wrap presents, make dinner and eat healthy today, no chocolate and no cookies.  Well I kind of failed!  I geared up got ready to do what I needed to do and my Husband said come with me.  Come with you where, I asked.  He wouldn’t tell me.  He said we won’t be gone long, so come on.  Fine I did, kind of irritated, but I went.  He took me to Home Depot!  Home Depot!  He said he needed spray paint for his car.  Ugh!!  Are you kidding me?  So he took me into Home Depot and for my Christmas present he bought me my refrigerator that I wanted.  It’s beautiful!  We ordered it and it will arrive on Friday!  Yah!!  Not exactly what I wanted for Christmas, but then he said, that means we need new cabinets for the kitchen.   Huh?  Cabinets?  Maybe a new floor?  What?   He he, for Christmas I am getting a mini remodel!  Yah!!  I’ll take that over gifts!!  I can’t wait till we start!!  He did mention I’ll have to live out of boxes for a while until he can get the cabinets and stuff.  I can live with that too!!  I can’t wait to show you!  My kitchen is ok, but it’s not organized very well.  My pantry is so small that it won’t fit a box of cereal in it.  I am so ready for some normal shelving!!!  Now I just have to figure out the colors of the cabinets I want.  Personally I like white, but he said no because it will get to dirty looking.  I’ll probably go with a dark brown then.  So after Home Depot instead of coming home, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a late, but light lunch.  Let me tell you nothing is light in there, but it was good.  So I blew my calories, and didn’t get my chores done.  Matter in fact I have dinner in the crockpot and we are so not hungry for it.  I hope it can last a few more hours.  But I did manage to make these little guys when I got home.  This recipe has been sitting in the back of my mind all week.

pear cream cheese fillo cups

These are my pear and cream cheese fillo cups.  I wanted to share them with you before Christmas because it is a fabulous appetizer that can be put together in a snap.  It’s made with cream cheese, honey, cinnamon, fresh pear and walnuts.  It’s kind of like pear crisp meets cheesecake.

Pear and Cream Cheese Fillo Cups


When you take the first bite it tastes just like a sweet fruit crisp, then you get to the bottom and you have a wonderful cinnamon cream cheese that melts in your mouth.  The fillo cups are crisp and perfect.  I put it all together in a matter of minutes and baked the cups for 10 minutes and out came these darling little appetizers.  If you are going to serve them right away, the pop of whip cream gives them an extra bonus of flavor and the whip cream melts perfectly over the top.

Pear and Cream Cheese Fillo Cups

I thought this would be so perfect for the holidays.  If you wanted to add a little red to it, you could always add a few pomegranate arils to it, instead of the walnuts.  I debated about doing that, but skipped it, since my husband doesn’t care for pomegranate seeds.  Also if you don’t have pear, I think apple would work out great too!

Now for this weeks recap

Monday:  Hamburger Soup – This soup has a wonderful flavor and it tastes even better the next day.  The second day the noodles expanded a little more and it gave it more of a pasta type dish.  It was a huge hit with the family!

hamburger soup 010a

Tuesday:  Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip – I can’t tell you more than this is a fantastic dip!! It truly tastes like a chicken wing with out all the fat and oil.  It’s made with greek yogurt, cream cheese, Franks Hot Sauce and cooked chicken. I loved dipping my chips into it!!!  It’s highly addicting!!

chicken wing dip 014a

Wednesday:  NY Deli Rye Bead – 5 Minutes A Day – Love this bread and it is so simple.  really all you do is throw everything together, mix with a wooden spoon and refrigerate for up to two weeks.  Pull off a chunk of dough, mold it into shape, let it rise for 40 minutes and bake.  The bread is crispy on the outside and so soft in the middle.  My Husband and I finished a loaf for dinner!!  Great bread to make for first time bread makers!

Rye Bread 011a

Thursday:  Christmas Cranberry Smoothie – Normally when I come home from work, I have a frappe, but this day I was wanting a smoothie.  So I came up with my Christmas smoothie.  It’s creamy, sweet and has the slightest tang from the cranberry juice.  It’s filling and light too!!

cranberry smoothie 041a

Friday:  Holiday Pomegranate Mojito – I rarely post alcohol recipes on my blog, matter in fact besides my Baileys Shake I think this maybe my first one.  I figured with Christmas and New Years upon us, this would be a nice drink to celebrate the holiday.  It’s light, bubbly and a little sweet.  I personally love mojitos, so this drink tops my favorite drink list!

pomegrante mojito 001a

Saturday:  Black Bean and Butternut Squash Quinoa Tacos / Salad – I love, love, love this combination!!  I have been eating this salad all week on tacos, lettuce and as side dish.  I add a little avocado and hot sauce and it’s perfect!!

quinoa buttrnut squash and black beans 031a

Well my Friends, I am not hungry, but I need to take my dinner out of the crockpot.  I’m thinking of having it tomorrow instead.  I can’t believe a shared appetizer would be so filling.  Well I did have a few Pear and Cream Cheese cups, he he!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is:  Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cashew Butter

Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
