Christmas Party – A New week begins

December 11, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

Hello Folks,

Well after my cookie binge and junk eating, I officially hung up my bad food apron for a while.  Yes, I’ve said it before, but I mean it.  I have been feeling guilty and the scale is climbing not to mention I feel more run down.  So as of today I’m really going to try to cook and bake more Skinny!  I’ve seen a few blogs pop through my e-mail that is healthy and looks wonderful, new things for me to try.  I saw a cookie recipe, yes cookie recipe from Eats Well With Others and she uses Sweet Potato in her Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Yum!  I love both those items, so together I bet it’s good, I plan on making those this week.  As we speak I have whole grain crackers baking in the oven, which will be a perfect snack for me, since thats my down fall, snacking!  I’ll share that recipe with you soon!!

Well on Friday I had my work Christmas party which was fun, but the food, oh the food, it was amazing!  My Boss’s wife is such a wonderful cook!  She should really have a cookbook!  The first thing I had was this wonderful Baked Brie Cheese, surrounded by crescent rolls and raspberry jam. This picture does not do it justice. It was so dam good, I couldn’t stay away!!

Look at that Ohhy, Gooey Cheese!  Here’s me cutting the cheese!   lol,  Hope I didn’t really cut the cheese!!


For the appetizer we had Mushroom Ragout covered with Puff Pastry. Now it’s no secret I am not a mushroom person,but this my Gosh was very good, I ate the whole thing!  If I wasn’t with my close peers I would of licked the bowl!  he he  Oh, and by the time dinner was being served I was feeling  a little good, so my pictures are not the best!

After our Mushroom Appetizer we were served Cauliflower Soup with Chive Oil. Simply amazing I must say!  The picture does not at all do this wonderful soup justice!   Marjon really added a special touch to everything!  The Mushroom ragout had a cute little star on it, the Cauliflower Soup had a beautiful ring of Chive Oil.  I wish I could cook like that!!

This next number I must of really loved it because I got a ton of photos of it.  Oh wondering what I loved so much?  It was a Stuffed Tomato.  I don’t know what it was stuffed with, but it tasted out of this world.  Just look at the beauty of it!

For our dinner we had Pork Medallions in a Port Wine Dried Cherry Sauce, accompanied by vegetable terrine and roasted potatoes.  This dinner was after my own heart, if you look at my recipe page, you know how much I love Pork and fruit together.  The Vegetable Terrine, was amazing.  I don’t know what it is, or how she made it, but it was wonderful.  The flavors all infused together was outstanding.  I know I tasted basil, but the rest I am unsure.  I need to google Vegetable Terrine to see how it’s made.

For Dessert we had a creamy Cherry Tortoni.  It was a sweet taste of heaven.  A perfect dessert to go with dinner!

I wanted to give a special thank you to the Jeff and Marjon for welcoming us into your home, serving us wine and serving us the most tasty food ever!  This is my favorite meal of the year!

Happy Holidays!

    Looks like lots of YUM at the party! I’ve been OD’ing on sweets too and it’s gotta come to a screaching halt too. Thanks so much for your comment at my blog. Please come again…I’m going to have some ‘healthy options’ in January. My hubby is diabetic and that’s how I try to cook much of the time, but December is definitely a splurge. Cute blog name!

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebeddin Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebedding is looking for a spokes dog, Samuel wants the job! I kid you not, he is obsessed with everything Downlite Bedding! He even has his own comforter that he sleeps on every night! 
🐾
I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
