Strawberry Softserve

March 24, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi and Happy Saturday!

Friday was a great day and boy do I have an itch to shop.  It’s been so long since I actually got to go shopping for fun things.  Normally it’s groceries or stuff I need around the house.  But today I took a half day from work and went to the shopping center.  I had the urge to go to Williams & Sonoma and Sur La Table.  I bought some pancake molds from Williams & Sonoma, but that was about it, I had more fun at Sur La Table.  Here are some of the goodies I bought there.

Aren’t those the cutest little spoons.  I have a weird thing about baby/little spoons.  I love to use them for scooping peanut butter, eating desserts and using it for my yogurt.  I love these little guys and I will be using them for more than just Easter dishes.  I’m not sure what the little holes are for, but that’s ok, I love the little rabbits.


I also got these cute paper straws.  I thought they would be fun for props and for summer drinks.  I think I had a thing for pink today.

I finally bought my immersion hand blender.  I don’t know if you recall but about two months ago I was using my old Black & Decker hand blender for blending tomato soup and I heard a crack and then flames shot up the sides, while I was using it. Talk about scary.  I threw that one out and was in search of a new one.  I didn’t realize how much I really used it until it was gone.  I tried using a blender for making my soup creamy and that was a horrible mess.  I used it with the same tomato soup and it splattered and exploded everywhere.  Ugh!  I had red globs of tomato everywhere!  That was an ugly mess.  So now I am excited I got this pretty hot pink one.  I got the hot pink because Jenny bought me a hand mixer for Christmas and it was Cuisinart in Hot Pink, so I thought it would be nice to getting matching colors.  Don’t you love the pink?  Speaking of pink, I made this for my Friday night dessert.

I know a lot of you have seen this dessert, but it’s so good I had to share the recipe for you.  I have been on a major smoothie, ice cream, fruit kick lately.  It seems I just can’t get enough fruit!  I ate a whole pineapple myself, over three days last week.  I had a bazillion oranges and about 3 pints of strawberries, not to mention my smoothies I posted this past week.  It’s crazy!  I’m glad I’m craving fruit over sweets.  I’ve been being really good at staying away from the bad sugars and I think fruit is my substitute for it.  However I could be overdoing my fruit intake?  I tend to get on kicks and I tend to go overboard.

This soft serve is made with a half of a frozen banana, two strawberries and a 6oz container of Chobani’s Vanilla Greek Yogurt.  For the top I also added a drizzle of my chocolate almond butter and fat free whip cream.  It tasted like a yummy, creamy sundae.  When I processed it, it was more of a soft serve ice cream consistency but due to my hundreds of pictures I took, it started to melt.

I guess you can tell I was in a pink mood and I just realized I’m even wearing a pink shirt!  Do you ever get on color kicks?  My normal go to color is red or orange but today it was definitely pink.    I think it has to do with all the spring pastel colors out now, however I went for hot pink today!  I needed a little spicy color to brighten up the day.

I also went to Whole Foods today and let me tell you, do not go there on an empty stomach!  I wanted to eat everything.  They have the best deli and salad bars ever.  I bought some roasted vegetables, which I used for my dinner and for lunch I bought a half a chicken quasadillia and a piece of margarita pizza.  I totally carbed out today.  I had all intentions of getting a salad, but the pizza was calling me.  I bought it and ran to my car and chomped it down like a crazy person.  After the guilt, I only ate a few bites of the chicken quasadillia.  I was pretty full!  That was good and I mean good pizza!  I love Whole Foods but it’s 50 miles away from me and it’s to far to travel for grocery trip.  I wish they would open one near me!  However that could be pretty dangerous.

I spent my Friday night at the pool store, Lowes and Homegoods, note to woman, don’t bring your man with you when you go to Homegoods.  I couldn’t shop with him around!!  But I did get ideas!  So with all that it’s getting pretty late and I want to clean my kitchen so it can be ready for morning baking!  One of my favorite bloggers posted a bread recipe this week and I want to try it out, and if it turns out, I will share it with you!  Crossing fingers!!!

Have a wonderful Saturday!!!  My tip for the day, if it’s nice out, get out there and enjoy it!  Go for a walk, talk to friends and enjoy your weekend!!!  For me, I’ll be here online and baking up a storm because the rain is coming.  Plus I’m thinking I should make some type of soup.  I need an excuse to use my new hand blender!!  he he  Have a great day!!

P.S.  If you like please vote for Peanut Butter and Peppers.  Just go here!

    Hi Jennifer, this is such a fun post! I love all your “treasures” and I think it’s so fun to find pretty and interesting stuff for home and for the blog, just makes cooking and eating more delightful! I’m with you about Homegoods, I tend to loose my brains in there and my pocketbook suffers a bit when I do that! 🙂

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

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.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
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?
