Recipe Recap

December 30, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Normally I would post a recipe for you today, but I’m holding off because my Husband is working in the kitchen and I am unable to cook and bake.  Ahhhhh!!!!  My kitchen is a disaster area!!  For Christmas I got a refrigerator and it finally arrived.  My Husband is re-arranging my kitchen so my refrigerator is going to go where my horrible pantry was and he is going to put in a new pantry where the fridge was.  Yah!!  He just informed me that he is going to have to drywall the kitchen   I am not looking forward to that!  Dry walling makes a horrible mess with the sanding and all!!  So you will have to bare with me for a few weeks, with recipes and photos.  Where I take my photos, it’s now where all my kitchen pantry goods are sitting.  I have to keep them up high or my dog will be digging into the boxes and bags.   The next few weeks should be interesting around here!!  Here is my weekly recap:

Monday:  Super Chocolaty Hot Chocolate – This drink is simply amazing!  It’s creamy, smooth and definitely satisfies the sweet tooth.  Making it with unsweetened coconut milk, really gives it the creamy flavor!!  My family was shocked on how good it tastes.  I served this at Christmas breakfast!

Super Chocolaty Hot Chocolate

Tuesday (Christmas):  Gingerbread Pancakes – I don’t know what it is, but whenever there is a holiday or celebration I like to make pancakes!  They are just fun and I like decorating them.  I think it’s my version to what normal people make at celebrations, which is cake!!  These pancakes are light, fluffy and a perfect replica of gingerbread!


Gingerbread Pancakes

Wednesday:  Tomato Soup – This is such an easy and quick dinner to make.  It’ so perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich!!  I really don’t think there is any more comforting soup, except maybe chicken noodle.  Love my tomato soup!!

Tomato Soup

Thursday:  Homemade Nutella – This is pure danger around me!!  It’s so good, creamy and chocolaty   I think I have a bit of a sweet tooth this week!  I’m telling you, if you like Nutella, you must try this recipe!  It’s easy to make, and honestly I think it tastes better than Nutella.  It tastes even better than next day!  Glad I have left over hazelnuts because I can guarantee I am going to make this again this week!!

Nutella

Friday:  Smoked Paprika Edamame Bean Dip – This dip is amazing and so healthy for you!  You can eat as much of it as you want and it is completely guilt-free!!  I have been nibbling on this dip all weekend and I even put it on my veggie sandwich!!!

edamame bean dip 021a

Saturday:  Yogurt Toppings – You know how much I love yogurt!  I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I don’t have it!!  It’s so good!  I really had fun creating all of these toppings! I have to say I don’t have a favorite topping because they are all good, depending on your mood.  But the chocolate with the orange is my new go to one!  I have it for my after dinner dessert!

Yogurt Toppings

Well Guys, this is it for me today!!  Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and Happy New Years!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is Artichoke and Jalapeno Ranch Dip.  I can’t get enough of this dip!  I have made it 4 times since I posted this recipe a few weeks ago!  It’s just so good!!!

Artichoke and Jalapeno Ranch Dip

    I know your pain, but no worries, it will pass so quick that you won’t even notice. You’re lucky that you have a dog. With my can there’s no place (except the one you can close with a key) that he won’t get into. I must say that a picture with a gingerbread pancakes is amazing. I love all the decoration. It looks so yummy.

    I could go for a HUGE stack of those gingerbread pancakes, a huge scoop of the edamame dip, and an even larger scoop of the homemade Nutella. Not all together, of course! Amazing recap!! My mouth is watering. 🙂

      Thanks Anna! It will go quick because my Husband doesn’t want to listen to me moan and groan, plus I refuse to buy groceries until the kitchen is done, so it’s throw it together what you have in boxes and freezer week and my Husband is not to thrilled about that!! lol Happy New Years!!

    Congrats on the new fridge and jazzed up kitchen. I feel your pain. When we redid our house we were at it for 3 months. It was wild, ate out every day.

    I still haven’t made homemade nutella. I need to get on that.

      At least my re-model is small and my Husband is moving pretty quick. It’s just a pain in the fanny and yes we have eaten out quite a bit! You have to try the Nutella, I am amazed how much it tastes like the real deal!

Hi Everyone! The weather is starting to warm up h Hi Everyone!  The weather is starting to warm up here and I have Spring fever!  #sponsored I’ve been working in the garden beds, planting annuals and enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
🌸
I freshened up my gorgeous patio set that I got from @rstbrands. I dressed up my table by adding some Ranunculus and a cute little bunny to a tray. Doesn’t scream Spring?
🌸
I also added some throw pillows and a cute blanket to keep you warm on a chilly evening. The Yuri 4 piece patio set is made out of certified eucalyptus wood has held up so beautifully with the heavy rains and winds.
🌸
I love the shade of blue of the cushions, it reminds me of the sunny blue skies. The cushions are also so comfortable to sit on. The best part is that the covers have zippers on them so you can take the covers off and wash them.
🌸
Spring fever is hitting me hard this year and I can’t wait to enjoy the great outdoors.
🌸
Do you get Spring fever?

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of winter and Mother Nature is piling it on all in one shot. Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

I’m sharing with you this cute tiered tray that I got from @dorothyjeandecor. It is the perfect size tiered tray. It’s sturdy, holds a lot and fits perfectly under my kitchen cabinets.
🌷
I decorated it with items that I use on a regular basis in my kitchen, plus pretty little items. Oh and that cute cement pear also came in the March decor box.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.
🌸
This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?
