Baton Rouge Round Up / Weekly Recap

September 7, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Well this is it, I’m officially sad!  This is my last post about my trip to Baton Rouge.  I thought I would give you a round-up this weeks eats, introduce you to my fellow bloggers that I joined on this trip and give some web links to the places I ate, stayed and saw.  So let me first introduce to you the group of bloggers that I joined on my mini weekend getaway to Baton Rouge.  I snagged this picture from Theresa from The Food Hunters Guide to Cuisine.

Batton Rouge Bloggers

Of course I have to introduce you to the two lovely ladies that took us all around town; Christy and Katie!

Christy and Katie are just the two sweetest girls.  They really know their town and you can tell that they are just so proud of it!!  They both have wonderful personalities and really made this trip fun!! If you plan a visit to Baton Rouge contact these girls, I promise they will take good, no make that great care of you!!! I plan on catching up with them again when I come back to Baton Rouge and believe me there will be another trip! Christy is the the lovely lady on the left and Katie, who just had a baby and looks fabulous is on the right.

Now for this weeks weekly recap:

Monday:  Banana Cream Pie Smoothie – So darn good!!   I promise if you like banana cream pie, you will love this drink and much as I do!!

Banana Cream Pie Smoothie

Tuesday:  Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pies –  I have to laugh, my Husband told me, the pies you made taste funny.  I said really they didn’t defrost right?  No that was fine, they tasted like squash and he gave me a dirty look!  Ha ha  He actually loved the mini pies, but HATES sweet potato!  I told him it was pumpkin when I gave them to him.  He read my blog when he discovered he ate sweet potatoes.  I knew I would get him to eat Sweet Potatoes one day.  By the way, I froze these mini pies and my Husband said he left them out on the counter at work and they defrosted very nicely.  Which is good to know for future pie making!

Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pie

Wednesday: Grilled Cajun Shrimp with Red Beans and Rice – I loved this dish!  It’s very filling.  I had leftovers and took them to lunch, even better the next day.  I ate the shrimp cold and it was still just as good!!

Cajun Grilled Shrimp

Thursday: Jambalaya and Corn Bread – Love this dish and it’s another one that tastes fantastic the next day!! The Jambalaya is hearty, full of flavor, super thick, low-calorie and is a reader and family favorite too!!

Jambalya and Corn Bread

Friday: Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Pancakes with Bourbon infused Maple Syrup – All I have to say is OMG! This is one of the BEST pancakes I have ever made! So moist, that it really tastes like pie and it’s low calorie!! You must make these pancakes!!!  Make them this weekend!!!
Sweet Potato Pie Pancakes with Bourbon Maple Syrup cc
I guess that sums it up for this weeks post. I know I promised a sweet treat for today, but my sweet treat didn’t turn out. I tried to make pralines and they burnt. I always burn my food that has to be made with a candy thermometer. I am so buying a new one this weekend!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post as I did reliving my 2 day weekend in Baton Rouge. I really did have a blast! I never would have thought, let’s go to Louisiana for vacation, but this trip changed my mind. I am hoping to make it back there this coming spring. There is so much more I want to see, plus I want to try a Po Boy Sandwich!  Great excuse for me to go back!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  The winner of the Louisiana Giveaway is Shelly.  I sent you an e-mail.  Please contact me within 48 hours.

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!

I just love this time of year! The weather has bee I just love this time of year! The weather has been just beautiful outside. I have spent so much time working in the yard and just enjoying the sun and warm weather. I am a total summer person.

I styled my outdoor seating area and added some patriotic decor. Can you believe it’s almost Memorial Day? I created this little tray by using my new Mango Wood Stars that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they so cute?

The Mango Wood Stars are solid wood and they stand on a mango wood base. The stars are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

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.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🌷
Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?
