Banana Berry Smoothie and Cherry Cobbler

January 7, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Hello,

Well as some of you know I went to the dentist today and had my root canal.  Ugh!  I don’t know what is worse, the 4 hours it took for the Novocaine to wear off or the actual root canal.  My mouth is so sore, he was pulling on my lips and everything, I think my front tooth is more sore then the tooth he worked on.  I’m just glad it’s over with.

The worse thing about the whole experience is that I was hungry afterwards and I couldn’t eat due to the Novocaine, then when it finally wore off, I realized everything in my house is crunchy!  I love crunchy foods and nothing was smooth and easy.  Last night I thought I was prepared with my 32 oz container of greek yogurt from Trader Joe’s only to find out when I ripped the seal off it was moldy.  How does that happen?  It didn’t expire until February 7th.  So disappointing.  needless to say I’ll be back to TJ’s tonight to get more!  I love TJ’s stuff but sometimes the food expires before the expiration date.  Does that ever happen to you?

So I dug through my refrigerator and found frozen berries in the freezer and I had a banana on the counter so I made an easy tasty smoothie.  I was so hungry I just had to eat something.


I personally love eating smoothies with a spoon, it takes longer to eat/drink.  Otherwise with a straw I just suck it down to fast!  This probably took me a whole 5 minutes to eat!  Glad to know it was filling!

It seems lately that all the rage is smoothies.  In this months Shape magazine they have about 4 pages dedicated to smoothies, which I plan on trying.  This one was so good, it reminded me of summer.  Then afterwards I ate a spoonful of peanut butter.  I need protein and healthy fats from somewhere, right?  Ok, I don’t need to explain myself, there is no excuses to eat peanut butter, it’s just good!!  My friend always tells me to stop making excuses and just say because you want to!  So on this one I just want to eat a heaping spoonful of peanut buttery goodness!

Normally I write my blog in the evening, after dinner, and if I make a new or good dinner I’ll post that, but since I plan on grocery shopping tonight, I won’t have time to write and I plan on making some hearty soup, which I’ll most likely share with you tomorrow, if it turns out.  It’s another one of my creations.

Banana Berry Smoothie

1 medium banana

5 strawberries, frozen

1/3 cup mixed berries, frozen

1/3 cup water

Directions:

Place everything in a blender and process.

Makes 1.5 cups

Calories for the whole smoothie:  156,  Fat:  .07.  Sodium:  3.9,  Potassium:  545,  Carbs:  39.8,  Fiber:  5.6,  Sugar:  22.3,  Protein:  1.7

To get more protein, next time I plan on cutting my banana portion to half and adding about 1/2 cup of greek yogurt.  Dam TJ’s with there bad yogurt!!

I debated on showing you the next dessert I made this week, only because the pictures don’t look super great!  But the taste, oh the taste is so good!  Do you like cherry cobbler?  I do!  But I don’t like the calories, but this recipe, has under 100!  You gotta love that!

Here’s the first picture, kind of funny looking when it comes out of the oven.

Yah, I know what your thinking, but look at whats hidden under that brown exterior.

Big old chunky cherries!  Then you mix it up, add some fat free whip cream and you have this.

Looks a little better.  This is a great little dish for portion control.  I made 4 of these and yes, I ate them all, but not at one time, one a day.  No one in my family likes cherries.  I don’t understand?  I bought my cherries in the frozen department from Target (Market Pantry Brand), there in a 12oz bag, dark, pitted cherries.  I usually like t have two bags in my freezer at all times, but right now I have none.  🙁  Time to stock up!

Cherry Cobbler

Ingredients:

12 ounces cherries, unsweetened pitted dark, frozen package

1/4 cups water

2 teaspoon cornstarch

1/4 tsp. almond extract

3 tablespoon whole wheat pastry flour

2 tablespoon cornmeal

1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon allspice, ground, or nutmeg

4 teaspoon butter (I used brumble and brown)

2 tablespoon refrigerated or 1 egg white

2 tablespoon milk, fat-free

Directions:

For filling, in a medium saucepan, combine cherries, the water, almond extract and the cornstarch. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile,preheat oven to 400°F. For biscuit topping, in a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, the baking powder, salt, and allspice or nutmeg. Using a pastry blender or 2 table knives, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of cornmeal mixture. Set aside.

Cook and stir the filling over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Divide fruit mixture among four 6-ounce custard cups or individual baking dishes.

In a small bowl, stir together the egg product and milk.  Add the egg mixture all at once to the cornmeal mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened. Immediately spoon a mound of the biscuit topping on top of the hot filling in each custard cup or baking dish.  NOTE:  I had left over biscuit topping

Bake about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in topping comes out clean. Serve warm.

Tips:  I place the leftovers in the fridge and microwaved for 30 seconds to get it all nice and warm again!

Makes 4 servings

Calories per serving:  98,  Fat:  1.5,   Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  176,  Potassium:  16,  Carbs:  23,  Fiber:  2.7,   Sugar:  17,  Protein:    2

Sorry for the not so great pictures of the cobbler, but really it tastes so good!  Well I am off to make some soup for dinner, not much in the cupboard but I think I have the ingredients to make my special quick soup!

Have a great Saturday!!

      You’ll be fine! Just don’t be like me, go to the dentist every 6 months then you won’t need root canals, fillings ect… Not only will it save you pain, it will save you money!! I wish I realized this when I was younger!!!

      Hi,

      Yes you can return stuff like your crumpets. I went to Trader’s today and forgot the yogurt, but I told them and they gave me a free one. Oh and I had no receipt. Trader Joe’s is pretty people oriented, there main thing is customer service. My friend goes there and asks to try something before she buys it, now I wouldn’t do that, but she does. So take it back or tell them the next time your in the store, I am sure they would have no problem exchanging it for you! So Trader Joe’s is back on my good side!

    Hope you’re feeling better! I have my wisdom tooth removal scheduled a few weeks from now so I’ll probably be eating a lot of smoothies and peanut butter too. And yeah, no excuse needed to eat peanut butter!

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
