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.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
