Neapolitan Pancakes

February 12, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone!

How did your Saturday go?  For me, kind of boring!  I don’t even know what I did, just a little bit of this and that.  I did manage to get my workout in this morning, so I am happy to report I did strength training 3 times this week, and I did cardio for two, and I did do some walking during work.  Every little bit helps. I am happy to say that on Facebook I asked Chris Freyteg about weight and why I’m gaining weight while exercising and eating within my calorie ranges, and she actually responded to me.  Now I don’t know if it was her or her people who keep her FB page, but I was happy I got a response.  This is the question and what she said.

Me:  Hi Chris, I have been working out 5 times a week, eating healthy 80% of the time and staying within 1500 calories a day! I keep gaining weight. I was maintaining for about a year and then boom, the weight started to come back! I am now 5lbs heavier since November. It’s so frustrating! Any advice?

For workouts for the past 2 weeks, I have been using your extreme slim down.

Chris:  Hmmm – that seems strange…. Make sure your calories are correct… that is most people’s (including me) biggest miscalculation… or maybe after a year you now need more calories or different ones… when your body feels stagnant – best thing to do is make a change in your exercise routine and food choices!!! ALSO – could it be muscle? I don’t know you so I don’t know your routine …but I weigh like 15 lbs more than I did 15 years ago but still wear the same size….


I thought that was nice!  It’s nice to get a response from someone of her stature.

Ok, now for the good things!  This is what I made for breakfast on Saturday and it was so dam good I couldn’t wait to share!

Yah!  That’s my Neapolitan Pancakes.  Made with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla!  Little Jenny said the pancakes tasted like a brownie.  I thought this was amazing.  But before I get to that, I wanted to give you a review of a new item I tried from Trader Joe’s.  It’s the Guilt Free Chicken Breasts with Poblano Sauce.

I am normally not one for tv type dinners, but I saw the words Poblano and 210 calories, I just had to try it.  This is what it looked like microwaved on my plate.

It looks ok, but the portion is small.  The chicken is, my guess, about 2 oz & 16 grams of protein.  Two pieces of the chicken were kind of chewy, but the bigger one was good.  I thought the flavor of the risotto was nice and I like the corn.  I did have to add some Franks Hot Sauce to it, for added flavor, but I put that sh!t on everything (lol).  I think this would be a good meal for lunch with a side salad, but it wasn’t enough for dinner.  There is the option of cooking in the oven but it takes 30 minutes.  If I have to wait 30 minutes, I might as well make a full piece of chicken with a side of rice.  I rate this out of 5 stars, about 2.5 – 3.  Would I buy this again?  Maybe, when I’m in a pinch for a quick meal.

Now time for breakfast!

I adapted this from my whole wheat yogurt pancakes recipe.  I used one 6 oz container of Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt for the pancakes and for the sauce on top.  I also made a Strawberry Quick Jam, which I love.  I wanted to give you the recipe for jam earlier, but I never got a chance.  I make this all the time and use it for PB&J sandwiches, on my yogurt, ice cream, oatmeal, pancakes and more.  I just love it!!

The pancakes are light, fluffy and taste of chocolate, but not to sweet for the morning.  However they do taste of a brownie.  I was actually pretty impressed on how they taste, because, he he, I tasted the batter, hey I was curious, it tasted gross!  I thought I was heading on the 2nd weekend of pancake flops, but nope this one turned out very nice!  It was actually perfect!  Exactly what I was hoping for and the best part is it tasted goooooood and kept me full for hours.  I didn’t even want to eat lunch!

I really enjoyed the sauce on the pancakes.  I took 3 tablespoons of Chobani Vanilla Greek yogurt and added 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.  With the strawberries and sauce, there is no need for maple syrup on these babies!!  I love that, less calories!!

Strawberry Quick Jam

Ingredients:

3 Cups of diced strawberries or frozen (I used a bag of frozen strawberries)

1 Tbsp. Sugar (If your strawberries are tart, add more sugar)

1/2 lemon, juice only

Directions:

Put a plate in the freezer till cold and then have it ready to test your jam.

In a large bowl crush your strawberries and then transfer to a large heavy skillet. Add the sugar and lemon. Turn heat to med – high and stir. After about 8 minutes test your jam, by placing a half a tsp on the cold plate. Wait a few seconds, if it is runny, then keep cooking your strawberries. Try again in another minute, you need to do this until the jam is in a jelly form. Once it is, your all done.

Place the jam in a jar  or glass bowl with a lid.  Cool on the counter then store in the refrigerator.

Makes 1 3/4 cups – 24 tablespoons

Calories per tablespoon:  9.2,  Fat:  0,  Sodium:  0,  Potassium:  34,  Carbs:  2.4,  Fiber:  .04,  Sugar:  1.4,  Protein:  0

Make your own jam, it’s quick, easy and cheap! Look at the calories and this tastes way better than store-bought!

I really love the Strawberry Jam!  I usually by cases of strawberries in the summer and make this jam weekly.  I also do this with other berries, like my Wild Berry Compote.  I didn’t start my blog till the fall, so you’ll see this summer that I use a lot of berries, there my favorite!!!

Neapolitan Pancakes

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup of Greek Vanilla Yogurt (6 oz container for whole recipe, just reserve 3 tbsp. for sauce)

2 egg Whites

1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/3 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Sugar

1 dash salt

2 Tbsp. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

3/4 Tbsp. Mini Chocolate Chips

Cooking Spray

12 tbsp. Strawberry Quick Jam

Yogurt Sauce:

3 Tbsp. Vanilla Yogurt

1 tbsp. Maple Syrup

Directions:

For Pancakes – Mix yogurt, egg whites & vanilla extract into a small bowl

In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar, & salt

Combine flour mixture to the yogurt mixture and whisk till evenly mixed.

Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place 1/4-cup batter onto the skillet and drop a few pieces of the mini chocolate chips into the pancake batter and cook till bubbles start appearing through the top of the pancake and then flip. NOTE: Cook on medium heat and I flattened out my batter with the spatula to cook more evenly.

About 1-2 minutes on each side

For Yogurt Syrup:
Add yogurt and maple syrup in a small bowl and stir together until combined.

To assemble: On one pancake, I added about 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam and a little bit of the yogurt sauce, top with next pancake and repeat layers.

For fun add some whip cream and a cherry on top!

Enjoy!

Makes 6 pancakes, 3 each, Serves 2

Calories per serving (serving size 3 pancakes):  204,  Fat:  2.7,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  271,  Potassium:  137,  Carbs:  32,  Fiber:  4.4,  Sugar:  7.3,  Protein:  16.2

I did not include the strawberry jam in the calculation.  The jam is good for you add as much as you like!  🙂

I am loving these pancakes.  Funny I haven’t had pancakes in years, and then I tried a yogurt pancake at a restaurant this past summer and I was hooked!  I knew I needed to create the recipe, and I did and now I keep creating more.  I can’t wait to see what I create next.  Pancakes are so fun and they do put a smile on your face.

Now these pancakes don’t need anything extra to them, there perfect the way they are, but…. You know Neapolitan Ice Cream wouldn’t be the same without whip cream and a cherry, well Neapolitan Pancakes would like that love too!!!

He he, they do make me happy!!!  If you like chocolate, vanilla and strawberries, you must, must, must try this recipe!  You won’t be disappointed!  Just look at the inside!!

Welp, it’s 8pm on a Saturday night, and I need to bake something, something I tell ya!  So I am off!  Have a wonderful weekend!  Relax, stay warm and just enjoy your day, you know you deserve it, but be sure to make pancakes first!

Oh, I updated my Trader Joe’s Page, so check it out!!  Have a great day!!!!

      Thanks!! I think it’s important to get an idea on what calories are before we eat something, so we don’t over indulge.

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?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
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.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

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

Have a beautiful day!

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.

Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. 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
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
