Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

January 27, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

“Whoever said salads are boring hasn’t used @CrispCooking tools. They make it fun to add seasonal ingredients and keep your New Year’s resolution on track. #createwithcrisp”

Hi Everyone,

To continue with my healthy living and my “Me” week, I decided to make myself a healthy, feel good salad just for me.  It is so perfect for lunch or dinner.  It’s light, refreshing, full of flavor and a breeze to make.  Let me share with you my Green Protein Salad.

Green Protein Salad “Whoever said salads are boring hasn’t used @CrispCooking tools. They make it fun to add seasonal ingredients and keep your New Year’s resolution on track. #createwithcrisp”

My salad is chock full of goodness!  It has romaine lettuce, spinach, edamame beans, cucumber, avocado and a big dollop of jalapeno hummus.  Of course you could use any kind of hummus you like for the salad, but I just love my jalapeno flavored hummus.  I made this salad because I was in need of something healthy and nutritious and I am really trying to be better this year. So far so good!


Green Protein Salad “Whoever said salads are boring hasn’t used @CrispCooking tools. They make it fun to add seasonal ingredients and keep your New Year’s resolution on track. #createwithcrisp

To make it fun to make, I used my new prep tools from Crisp Cooking.  For the lettuce I used my new Lettuce Knife  The Lettuce Knife is designed with a 7 in. blade that will accommodate even large heads and bunches of greens and lettuce. It is also a perfect cutting tool for slicing soft produce items such as tomatoes, mushrooms or strawberries. I simply love it and it cleans easy too!

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

For the cucumbers I peeled my cucumber with my Serrated Peeler which makes for a nice, clean peel.  I have admit this is my favorite peeler ever!  You don’t need a lot of pressure to peel your vegetables, plus it gives it a nice edge.  You can also use it on soft vegetables like tomatoes.  It peels like a dream. I love it!

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

Of course when your making a salad a Straight Pairing Knife for cutting your vegetables. I love this knife.  I use it all of the time.  I keep it right on my counter for easy grabbing.  It cuts everything perfect and without effort.

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

It is so much fun making a nice healthy salad when you have fun cooking tools.  I even have a set of nice Salad Tongs, but I didn’t use them for this recipe.  I normally don’t use tongs, unless I am serving a big group.  It’s normally just my Husband and  I, oh and in case you’re wondering, he did not have any of my salad. His words were, it’s to healthy for me.  lol

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

To keep my salad nice and fresh I squirted it with some fresh lemon.  It compliments the flavors of the vegetables perfectly.  Oh and in my recipe I added scallions, but after I revamped my recipe and I was eating my salad, I realized I forgot the scallions.  The salad was good without them, but it would add a nice twist of flavor.

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp I really do love salads like this.  I love the color, the flavor and how good I feel after I eat it.  Now I won’t feel guilty when I have a piece of chocolate.  lol

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.

What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?
