Pina Banana Soft Serve / Weekly Recap 07/13/2013

July 13, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have to make a quick post.  On Friday I have a BBQ at work so I won’t be home late, and  tonight, which is Thursday, I have to make my dishes.  I’m making my Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus,which is a huge hit with everyone, even those who don’t like hummus love this dip.  So I am making that and my Cucumber and Tomato Summer Salad.  I figured I would bring healthy dishes so I can munch on this and not high calorie dips and snacks.  Hope my plan works out?!  Crossing fingers!!  Today’s recipe is one I came by, by accident.  When I was making my Lave Flow Smoothie, I made it too thick and I realized that it tasted awesome and would make an excellent soft serve ice cream.

Pina Banana Soft Serve

This ice cream is my Pina Banana Soft Serve Ice Cream.  It’s creamy, sweet and tastes of the tropics.  It’s made with simple ingredients, like banana, pineapple, coconut milk and stevia.  It’s so refreshing and so perfect for the summer.  Not to mention it is healthy, guilt-free and even vegan.  I love when you cook or in my case make smoothies and then you discover another recipe while making another dish.

Pina Banana Soft Serve


For a little added umph, I topped my soft serve with some unsweetened shredded coconut and of course a cherry.  It was a filling and wonderful little dessert.  You could so eat this all yourself, like I did, but if you’re looking for just a little bit you can certainly split it with someone.  The recipe makes 2 cups of pure yumminess!!

Pina Banana Soft Serve

I am loving this dessert!  I am on such an ice cream kick and this is fabulous to satisfy your craving without all the unnecessary ingredients!   Now for this weeks weekly recap.

Sunday:  Peach Tart – I love this tart and so did my Husband!  He ate 3/4’s of it and I ate the other 1/4.  It’s refreshing and so perfect to use those wonderful fresh peaches that are now in season.  I don’t buy peaches that much, but when I do, I remember how much I truly love them!  I need to stock up more.  I’m hoping today to go to the Farmers Market and get some more.

Peach Tart

Monday:  Lava Flow Smoothie – This is another tropical treat!  I love this smoothie, it’s one of my favorites.  I wish so bad I could have a real one from Hawaii.  One day, I’ll get there and when I do, I’ll be having one of these drinks, hopefully while sitting on the beach!  🙂

Lava Flow Smoothie

Tuesday:  Avocado Chocolate Balls – I have been nibbling on these little balls all week!  They satisfy your chocolate craving and you get a little hint of avocado in it too!  It’s amazing of all the fun things you can make with avocado.  These balls are one of my number one pinned recipes this week!

Avocado Chocolate Balls

Wednesday:  Peanut Butter and Jelly Tart – This is my recipe that is on the Smart Balance Battle of the Bloggers.  I’m not doing to great in the contest, it really comes down to popularity, I think?   That’s one thing I don’t like about voting contests.  If you have a bazillion readers, then your going to get more votes.  Oh well, honestly I am happy to be chosen to be in the contest and I want to thank you for your votes!  It’s so much appreciated to have your support.  So a big thank you to you!  If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even be in it!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Tart

Thursday:  Apricot Scones – I like this little scones and the combination of orange and apricot go simply wonderful together.  I like that they are mini, but you can always make them bigger!  🙂

Apricot Scones with Orange Glaze

Friday:  Cherry Lime Soda – This is a drink my Husband and I have been drinking all week.  It’s light, refreshing and guilt-free.  We both really love it and I can’t wait to try this type of recipe with other good for you fruit juice.  My Husband says it almost tastes like cherry crush!  I think it just tastes good and it’s so much better than soda!

Cherry Lime Soda

Well my Friends, I need to get going.  I talked more than I had planned!  🙂

Have a great weekend!  Get out there and enjoy it!  I can’t get over we are almost half way through July already.  Summer is going way to quick, if you ask me!  Ugh!

Toodles,

Jennifer

This weeks craving is Bircher Muesli!  I love this and I haven’t had it since I posted it.  I need to make it again and have it for brekafast this coming week!

    What a fun idea for a healthy ‘ice cream’! I’ve done the pureed banana before with chocolate and peanut butter and loved it, but this is definitely a version I need to try!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
