Dark Chocolate Covered Cashews #SundaySupper

September 13, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 29 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today for #SundaySupper we are celebrating National Grandparents Day.  My Grandparents are no longer with us, but I do have a few memories of them.  I remember visiting them in Orchard Park, NY in their red house and my Grandfather worked in construction. He would come home from work with his yellow hard hat and sit in his chair and crack nuts.  I remember a big bowl of nuts and a nut cracker.  I loved cracking them, but I didn’t like eating them.  I actually thought walnuts tasted horrible.  What’s funny is that I love them now.  My Grandmother knew I didn’t love nuts so one day she took me to the mall and had me try chocolate covered nuts.  Then I fell in love.  I don’t recall what kind of nuts, but they tasted good.  In memories of my Grandmother and Grandfather I made chocolate covered cashews.  I think my Grandma would be proud.

Dark Chocolate Covered Cashews #SundaySupper
They nuts taste amazing! But I will admit they are easy to make but a little bit hard to keep them separated. I used roasted salted cashews and Dark Chocolate melting wafers. Those are the only ingredients you need. Pretty easy and makes for a great gift.
Dark Chocolate Covered Cashews #SundaySupper Since the weather was warm out, I chilled my chocolate covered nuts in the refrigerator. That makes for easy separating. The only problem is when you chill chocolate it gets a grayish color. If you can let them cool naturally on the counter, you will have shiny chocolate. A bit of advise, don’t make them when it’s 90 degrees out.

I just love my little creation. They may not be the prettiest nuts around, but they sure taste good and nothing beats homemade.  It’s less expensive, rewarding and fun to make.

    Cashews are my grandfather’s favorite nuts. I can’t decide if I like cashews or walnuts better, I guess it depends if I’m in the mood for salty or not. Either would be fantastic covered in chocolate!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage.

It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
