Oatmeal

December 30, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hello Folks,

Yesterday, was such a boring day.  The weather started out nice and then the fog rolled in and stayed most of the day.  When it gets like that, I tend to get lazy.  I had all of my ambition in the morning, going to make a nice breakfast, workout, make some bread, do some chores and maybe go to Trader Joe’s for some goodies.  Well my laziness kicked in and I didn’t feel like working out, I pushed myself to make bread and I did manage to do laundry but everything else was ehhh, I’ll do it another day.  Do you ever have days like that?

However, I always make sure I have a good breakfast, no matter what!  I made a wonderful new oatmeal with Coaches Oats.  Have you ever tried Coaches Oats?  It’s so good, I like the texture of it and it fills me for hours.  I can’t complain about that, no snacking for me.  What makes this recipe different?  I added Sweet Potatoes to it.  Wow, did it really wake up my oatmeal.  I’m normally a traditional oatmeal type of person, some fruit, brown sugar and maybe some milk.  But not today, I wanted something different.

This Oatmeal was creamy, sweet and the maple syrup really added pizzazz to it!  I threw in some raisins for chewiness, and granola for crunch.  Well that not true, I love granola on everything, especially oatmeal.  he he


During my day, my dog was barking in the kitchen, so I looked out my kitchen window and saw this little face looking at me.

Then I turned around and saw this.  That cat knew!  There not stupid!  I think the neighborhood cats purposely love to antagonize my dog.  Needless to say, the cat stayed there for hours, but my dog finally gave up!

Also, I did run to the store real quick to pick up some parchment paper and I found already ripe banana’s.  I was so excited, I bought  a big bag for $2.00.  That means lots of smoothies and banana bread.  I’m totally excited over that one.  I feel like I won a mini lottery.  I have no life, but I will have bread!

Speaking of bread, I made a new recipe for whole wheat dinner rolls.  There  so good and healthy, but I’ll share that recipe with you probably tomorrow.  But for now here is my recipe for my sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet Potato Oatmeal.  You must try it.  Oh, and I bet if you don’t have sweet potato puree, pumpkin would be great too!  I used the brand “Farmers Market” Organic Sweet Potato.  Nothing added, just the sweet potato.  Perfect sweetness!

Sweet Potato Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup Coaches Oats or 1/2 Cup Regular Oatmeal

1 Cup Water

2 Tbsp.  Pureed Sweet Potatoe

2 Tbsp.  Maple Syrup (I used Mrs. Butterworth’s)

1 Tbsp.  Granola

1 Tbsp.  Raisins

Directions:

In a pot, add water.  Bring to a boil and add oatmeal.  Cook for 5 minutes or until it gets thick and water is absorbed.  Stir in Sweet Potato Puree and cook until warm, about 1 minute.

Let your Oatmeal sit for a minute to really thicken up.  Add your raisins, granola and maple syrup.  Sit back and enjoy!!

Well, my Husband is waiting for me.  He put in Horrible Boss’s.  Have you ever seen that movie?  I saw it at the theater when it came out.  It is so funny, I can’t believe Jennifer Aniston plays that dirty part, I love it!  Have a great day!!

    I totally have lazy days…especially now that it’s cold. Getting out the door takes SO MUCH EFFORT. It happens.

    But at least you started off your morning right! This oatmeal sounds AWESOME!

    I’m adding Horrible Bosses to my netflix queue!

      You should see Horrible Boss’s. It’s one of those goofy type movies, but it’s so funny, everyone seems out of character, especially Collin Farrell.

    Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast, but I just love that look on the cats face. Cats are just incorrigible, aren’t they? Our neighbors cat does the same to my dog, but he’s finally learned to ignore the cat 🙂

    My oldest asked for Horrible Bosses for Christmas, so I should probably watch it…he did say it was hilarious. And I’m impressed that you made something so healthy and delicious on your lazy day…I have a feeling I would be melting chocolate and eating dough :/ Happy new year to my new foodie friend!!!

    Yikes…I have not idea if my last two comments went through, but I’ll make it an nice threesome if they did! First, I’m impressed you made something so nice and healthy on your lazy day! My lazy days seem to always involve chocolate! Second, your pup is SO cute! And last, wishing you a happy, happy new year! It’s been a pleasure to meet you and visit your wonderful blog this past month 🙂

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
