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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
