SF Chocolate Syrup / Weekly Recap

March 23, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hello Everyone and Happy Saturday to you!!

Today is another fun Saturday!  What I like about fun Saturday is the recipes.  I try to come up with something fun, something sweet and something creative that I think you will like.  Today’s recipe is one I found while googling for chocolate recipes.  I saw this and thought, hey why haven’t I done this before?  So today I bring you Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup!

Homemade Chocolate Syrup

I found this recipe on diyNatural website and I just had to give a try and I am sooooooo glad I did!  This my friends will satisfy any chocolate craving you have.  Need chocolate?  Grab a spoonful!  After all it’s guilt-free!  Not only is guilt-free it takes less than 10 minutes to make!  Pure chocolate bliss in a matter of minutes!!  Yes please!!!

Homemade Chocolate Syrup


The recipe only contains a few ingredients  which are cocoa powder, water, sugar, vanilla, salt and baking soda.  That’s it!!  For the sugar part I used NuNaturals Presweet Tagatose, so for me it’s sugar free!  Yah!!  But the recipe is still pretty low in calories with regular sugar!  I’ve tested this recipe with NuNaturals and Granulated Sugar and I liked the results from both of them.  You can’t tell the difference.

Chocolate Syrup

When I made the syrup, it measured out to 1 1/3 cups, but when I added the baking soda to it and let it cool, it thicken up and made 1 3/4 cups.  More chocolate, I’ll take it!!!  The reason for the baking soda is so the sugar doesn’t crystallize while being in the refrigerator.  A couple days later the chocolate syrup was even more smooth and silky.  I’m telling you, I had to hold myself back from drinking the stuff.  I think I’m on another chocolate kick!!  Your probably thinking, why not just buy syrup?  Well I happen to have a bottle of Hershey’s regular Chocolate Syrup in my fridge and so I decided to take a peek at the label to see what is on it!  Shock is on it!!  Look at the first few ingredients!

Hershey's Syrup Label

Look at the first two ingredients!  High Fructose Corn Syrup and Corn Syrup.  Did you know that back 30 years ago is when they introduced High Fructose Corn Syrup to us and that is when we started to become an over weight nation?  I think it’s the worse kind of sugar there is?  I’d rather take granulated sugar over High Fructose Corn Syrup anytime.  But for fun I did my nutritional information for you so you can see the difference and than you may want to make your own chocolate syrup, even with granulated sugar.  Here are the comparisons for you.

Hershey’s regualr chocolate syrup:  Calories per two tablespoons:   100,  Fat:  0,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  15,  Carbs:  24,  Fiber:  1,  Sugar:  20,  Protein:  <1

Homemade Syrup with Granulated Sugar:  Calories per two tablespoons:   60,  Fat:  0,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  35.8  Carbs:  16,  Fiber:  1,  Sugar:  14,  Protein:  .06

Homemade Chocolate Syrup with NuNaturals:  Calories per two tablespoons:   26.5,  Fat:  .03,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  35,  Carbs:  15.4,  Fiber:  1.1,  Sugar:  0,  Protein:  .06

Look at the difference even with real sugar, almost half the calories, less carbs, less sugar and made with ingredients you can pronounce!  I’m telling you, make your own syrup!  You’ll love it!!!  Look at what I made with mine and it only came to 147 calories with everything!!

Healthy Hot Fudge Sundae - 147 calories

This is my hot fudge Sunday!  I took one cup plain greek yogurt, 1/4 tsp. stevia and a pinch of vanilla extract.  Mixed together and placed in a freezer safe container and froze it for 1 1/2 hours.  Mix it up, add chopped strawberries, 1 1/2 tbsp. chocolate syrup and a 2 tbsp. of Fat Free Redi Whip Whip Cream.  147 calories!  It was huge and filling!  I have had this 3 nights in a row for my dessert!!  Only 20 carbs and 23 grams of protein!!  This is the ultimate Sundae!!

A low calorie, silky, smooth chocolate syrup.
Serves: 1¾ Cups (14 servings)
Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup cocoa, packed
  • 1 cup NuNaturals Presweet Tagatose or Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
Instructions
  1. In a large sauce pan, add water and cocoa powder and place over medium heat. Constantly stir until cocoa powder dissolved.
  2. Add sugar and keep stirring the chocolate mixture. Bring to a soft boil and keep stirring for 5 minutes. The longer it cooks the thicker it gets.
  3. Take the pan off the heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Once it has cooled for a few minutes more, stir in the baking soda. This prevents the sugar from crystallizing.
  5. If syrup is thick enough place in a glass container and place in the refrigerator. I let mine sit out for about 10 minutes.

Chocolate Syrup

Since it’s the weekend, and I am sure you have 10 minutes to spare, whip up a batch of chocolate syrup!  I am just sure you will love it as much as I do.!!  Now time for some fun things.  Let’s talk nuts!

My recipe for my Pistachio Pancakes made Shape Magazines 10 Healthy Nut Recipes!  Woohoo!!  I thought that was so cool.   Besides my green pancakes, they have some other great recipes you may want to check out.  Very Creative ones!

Pistachio Pancakes

Speaking of Pancakes.  I remade my Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes this week.  I made them a tad healthier and I retook my pictures.  They are one of my favorite pancakes of all times and the pictures are horrible.  My goal is to re-make, re-take photos of recipes on my blog.  The first year, the pictures are just embarrassing.  It makes me sad because the recipes I think are good, but then you see a picture of yellow pancakes or green chicken you think I wouldn’t want to make that, so my goal is to re-make at least one recipe a week so I can re-take the pictures and update the recipe if need be.  Just check out my before and after pictures.  Though the after isn’t great, since I messed up the settings on my camera.  lol  You win some, you lose some!

Before and After Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes Now for some fun links:

Here is one I found from Rodale about sweeteners the top 5 bad ones and the top 5 good ones.  I figured since we were talking about sugar earlier, I would share this link for you so you can see what top 5 natural sugars are good for you!

If your a Macaroni and Cheese fan, here is a link from HuffPost Taste, taste test for frozen macaroni dishes.  Ummm, #1 and #2 are from my favorite store!  Picture is from Huffington Post.

Here is a link about Preventing Food Binging.  Honestly this is something I have to deal with myself.  I have the tenancy to over indulge when I’m not hungry and only do it when I’m bored.  I know this is an issue for a lot of people, like me, so I am sharing this link with you.

I may have showed you chocolate syrup, but here is the best chocolate of all!!

Assorted Chocolates

Now it’s time for this week’s weekly recap.

Sunday:  Berry Taco’s – #SundaySupper – I love this dish, it’s simple, easy and chock full of my favorite Spring berries!  I am so excited for berry season!  I go crazy and buy strawberries by the case!  Ohhh, I can’t wait!!

Berry Breakfast Taco's

Monday:  Post Workout Smoothie – I couldn’t come up with a name for this smoothie, so I decided to name it Berry Orange Smoothie.   I love this smoothie and it was one of those wing it recipes.  Sometimes those are the best ones!  Funny thing is, I took the picture in horrible light, took a few snaps and oddly enough the picture made it to TasteSpotting.  When you work hard to take a good shot, it gets turned down, but a rush, rush one make it!  Crazy!

Post Workout Smoothie

Tuesday:  Are they the Best Burger Buns? – Yes they are!  I have made a ton of different kinds of burger buns at home and never had good results.  I found this recipe of King Arthur Flour and I am glad I did.  They are super easy to make and perfect for first time yeast bread makers!!  Give it a try.  One of my readers, Jeannette (Hi Jeannette!) left a comment and she said she made them with whole wheat flour and they turned out!  I’m trying it that way next!!

Best Burger Buns

Wednesday:  Strawberry and Avocado Salad with Strawberry Balsamic Dressing – I have made this salad about 5 times since I posted it!  I have had it for lunches everyday for work and even once for dinner.  I love it and haven’t gotten sick of it.  It’s light, refreshing, and oh so good!!

Strawberry and Avocado Salad

Thursday:  Spicy Breaded Sweet Potato Fries – I am so happy I came up with this recipe.  I love a nice crispy french fry and even better that it is baked!  I swear I could just eat these for dinner, and I’m talking about a HUGE plate of them.  If your a sweet potato fry person, then you must try this recipe!!

Spicy Breaded Sweet Potato Fries

Friday:  Mini Blueberry Orange Muffins – I love these little guys!  My Husband has been taking them in for work and I have been popping a few here and there for a light snack!  They are light, fluffy and loaded with blueberries.  My Husband said they taste like blueberries, well silly they are blueberry muffins.  Silly man!!

Mini Blueberry Orange  Muffins

I wanted to let you know that Mamavation is having a virtual 5 k run on Saturday, March 30th.  It’s the same 5k that I have been working my booty off for the past 2 weeks of training and guess what, the rules changed and now you can join me!    You can walk or run, the main goal is to just keep moving.  And guess what?  There are prizes.  I would love it if you joined me, and then after you do your run or walk, let me know about it.  I’m going to try my best, but I am not a runner even though I have been training.  My goal is to do it in 35 minutes.  That’s a lot of time, but I don’t want to set my goals to high and set myself up for disappointment,  so come join me and the Mamavation group for the virtual 5k.  Bring some friends, burn some calories and have fun!!  You can go to Mamavation for more information and to sign up.  Just click my MAMAVATION badge below!

Well my Friends, I am sure you are tired of reading, and I am off to Zumba class today.  I am so happy I found a class to go to with other people.  See, I do all of my workouts at home and the only companionship I have while working out are my dogs!  So it’s nice to get out with others and feel good about myself when I’m done!

Have a great rest of the weekend and stayed tuned for tomorrow for a wonderful little sweet treat!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is the California Chicken Sandwich.   I LOVE this sandwich and haven’t had it in forever!  I think I need to change that!!

      The syrup would be perfect over ice cream, as you can tell from my picture! I love this stuff! I have a feeling I’ll be making it a lot! 🙂

    I’m going to have to make this one for sure! I like the whole no-sugar thing. I actually made a homemade syrup similar to this (but it had some sugar in it). My teen son told me he’d never ever eat it if I made it homemade. Well, I ended up washing out a Hershey’s bottle and replaced it with the recipe I just made…over and over again. He still doesn’t know…so now I can make it with NO sugar! That’s what some of us mommies/wives have to do…trick our family to eat a little healthier without them knowing sometimes! Thank you for sharing! (=

    I made your sweet potato fries on Thursday night and they were awesome! A total hit with my husband, who is usually not a fan of sweet potato fries because of the non-crispy factor. Yay!!

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 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?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.

Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.
🌷
The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.
🐦
How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.
