Strawberry Shortcake

February 11, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Big plans for the Valentine’s weekend?  I know it’s a little early, but, with Valentine’s Day on a Tuesday this year, I figured most will be celebrating over the weekend.  For me, I have no plans as of yet, waiting for my Hubby, hint hint!  But one thing I know I will be doing is making holiday treats!!  Oh, there are so many recipes I want to try I can’t wait!!  Everyone has been posting such scrumptious desserts, cookies and more.  Yum yum!!  I have a major sweet tooth this week!

Speaking of holidays and recipes, today I am posting one of my all time favorites.  But first let me tell you that today’s post is a The Holiday Recipe Club Blog Hop hosted by Erin from Big Fat Baker.  This holiday we have to feature one of three items, which are either Strawberries, Heavy Cream or Beef.  For me, I actually used two of the ingredients which is heavy cream and strawberries.

I just love this recipe!  It’s a strawberry shortcake made on shortbread and I actually used heavy cream.  I haven’t bought or used heavy cream in years!!  I made this recipe because it reminds me of the days when I was dating my Husband, back in my early 20’s.  I decided one day to surprise him with a full-blown big strawberry shortcake cake.  I was so proud of my creation!  But you know what?  I never got a piece of it.  He took the whole thing to work, the whole BIG cake, and he ate the whole thing.  Dam him!  He always does that to me!  But he loved it and that’s all that counts!  How do you think I got him to marry me?  🙂  So in memory of our younger years, I decided to bake him this cake so we can reminisce over old times.


By the way he still mentions, why don’t you bake me pies and cakes like you did when we first started going out?  I told him that’s when I became fat!  🙂  Dating can be bad for your waistline!

Instead of making one cake, I decided to cut my recipe in half and make 4 small individual cakes, since it’s just the two of us.  I used 4-6oz size ramekins to cook the shortbread.  If you do this be careful because I cooked these a little longer then I should have, but they still turned out tasty!!

Ain’t love grand?  The bigger one in the middle was for my Husband and the smaller one was for me.  Now normally I would never use heavy cream, but since this was a special occasion, I decided what the heck, why not?  The cream turned out beautiful, I like it really thick.  The strawberries are so sweet,  I let them sit for about an hour in a little bit of sugar.  Yum!!!

Strawberry Shortcake

Ingredients:

3 Cups sliced strawberries

1 Tbsp. Sugar

Shortbread Ingredients::

2 Tbsp. Sugar

1 Cups all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 cup margarine or butter

2 Tbsp. egg, beaten

1/3 cup non-fat milk

Whipping Cream Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Tbsp. Sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450

Stir together berries and 1 Tbsp. sugar, aset aside.

For the shortbread:  Stir together 2 Tbsp. sugar, flour and baking powder. Cut in margarine till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine egg and milk, add all at once to dry ingredients. Stir till just moisten.

Spread into a greased 4 – 6oz ramekins, building up the edge slightly.

Bake for 13 – 16 minutes or till toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, split into 2 layers.

To make whip cream:

In a small bowl, mix cream, sugar and vanilla extract, beat until a heavy cream, about 5 minutes.

Spoon the fruit and whipped cream between layers and over top. Serve immediately.

Serving Size: 4 6 oz servings

Number of Servings: 4

NOTE:  If you double the recipe, you can use an 8″ round cake pan and cook for 20 – 30 minutes.  It’s so pretty when you have a full size cake.

Calories per serving:  357,  Fat:  15,  Cholesterol:  40,  Sodium:  198,  Potassium:  243,  Carbs:  45.6,  Fiber:  3.5,  Sugar:  19, Protein:  6.1

Now the calories come from the whip cream, if you cut out the whip cream and use non-fat canned whip cream, you’re looking at about 244 calories and 5 grams of fat!  Heavy cream is so high in calories, now you see why I barely use it?

As I’m typing this, I’m thinking I want to make this again.  I really love strawberry shortcake!  Strawberries and whip cream are a match made in heaven!   But for dessert tonight, I settled on greek yogurt with pineapple, coconut, chocolate almond butter and peanut butter Cheerios.  I know a weird combo, but I wanted a little bit of everything!!  For some reason dinner doesn’t seem complete without some kind of dessert and my normal go to dessert is yogurt, stocked high with fruity treats and peanut butter!!!

Don’t forget to check out the Holiday Blog Hop Recipes.  I can’t wait to see what goodies everyone made.  If your interested in joining just go to http://holidayrecipeclub.com.

Have a Super Fab Day!!!

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!
