Chipotle Bowl

June 22, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday!!!  Thursday night was fend for yourself night, and I was craving Chipotle.  I love Chipotle but oddly enough no one in my family likes it, which I think is crazy!!  So out of pure laziness, I didn’t want to drive there, so I decided to create my own Chipotle Bowl for dinner.

I made this bowl a couple of weeks ago and just loved it and I had to re-make it again to share it with you.  Remember back a few weeks ago when I did my freezer cooking?  If you recall I froze a batch of roasted sweet potatoes, corn and black beans.  One of the best freezer batches I’ve ever done!  I used my freezer goodies to make this salad/bowl.


This bowl literary took about 3 minutes to make.  I popped my whole freezer bowl in the microwave for 3 minutes and it was heated perfectly.  While it cooked I chopped up my lettuce and tomatoes.  Once my bean mixture was done I placed a little bit of it on top of my lettuce, added some cooked chicken, salsa and greek yogurt and it was ready for me to eat it!

I just love quick night dinners!  Than it gives me time to work on my blog and just chill for the evening.  This bowl is just loaded with flavor everywhere.  When I roasted my sweet potatoes I used cinnamon, salt and Cayenne pepper for a kick of heat.  I used my favorite salsa to give it more flavor and topped it with Greek yogurt to cool off the heat from the salsa and to make it creamy.  I have to say I like my bowl better than Chipotle’s because it has more flavor in it, less greasy and I was able to know how many calories I was actually consuming.

I figured out the calories the best I could since I used a medley of vegetables, but I am pretty sure I am pretty close to being on.  I wish I figured the calories before I froze my batch of veggies.  Next time I will!  If you like Tex Mex food, you should really freeze a batch of corn, black beans and sweet potatoes.  The combination is just wonderful.  As I’m writing this I realize the only thing missing in this bowl is an avocado.  I just thought of that now.  Darn it!!

Do you like Chipotle Restaurant?   I love it, but I do try to stay away.  I really love the Fajita Burritos, but the calories of the burrito is through the roof!   The calories for just the flour tortilla shell is 290 calories.  I don’t even get much on it, just chicken, fajita vegetables, lettuce and salsa and I’m looking at 540 calories and 16 grams of fat!  So I skip the shell and I get my bowl with black beans added and I’m at 370 calories and 8 grams of fat, much better and not to bad for a dinner!  Now the chips are a whole other story!  The chips with medium salsa is 585 calories.  Ahhhh!!!  But ohhhh, how I do love their chips!  They taste like there’s lime on them and so much salt.  Why does good food have to be so high in calories?  Now every now and again, I’ll order my burrito and chips, but only as a treat.  I do, really believe you shouldn’t stop eating what you love, you just have to do it in moderation.  So if I’m going to be good all day, than I’ll get a burrito, if I’m bad I’ll get the bowl.  So what do you order at Chipotle???

I would love to chat more, but it took me almost 3 hours to write this post.  It seems I am having computer issues.  While I was writing this I had to contact my host server and I was informed they may not be able to handle my blog anymore.  Oh no!!  I downloaded an optimizer plug-in so I’m hoping that will help.  So I am cutting this short, since I can’t down load anymore pictures.  Forgive me on this one!

Have a great Friday and wish me luck with my computer issues.  I hate these kind of problems!

See you tomorrow!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    This is such a big bowl of tastiness! I love chipotle’s food but it’s such a calorie nightmare and even though I always MEAN to eat half…somehow the whole bowl ends up in my stomach. I love your version!

    I ate a vegetarian burrito bowl from Chipotle for lunch today, as I often do during the work week. I love them but anything homemade is always better!

      Not liking Chipotle must be a man thing, because my Hubbie won’t eat there at all! I hope the stress goes away for you, maybe your Husband should make dinner for you!?

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!
