Weekly Recap – July 1, 2012

July 1, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s a gorgeous Saturday today!  They said fog and cold, but the sun has been out all day and it’s a comfortable 80 degrees out!   I got up and forced myself to do some strength training and opted out on my weekly Farmer’s Market trip.  This is my last week at home before I head to Europe next week, and I figured I better use up all the produce that I have, since I know my Husband won’t eat it.  Plus I get another CSA package on Wednesday.

Jenny and I spent our Saturday afternoon having a nice lunch at a local bakery and then seeing Magic Mike.  The movie was ok, but definitely a chick flick.  Trust me ladies this is a movie you want to see with the girls.  The story-line was ok, but the ending kind of stunk.  My man Matthew  was such a geek in it, but I loved it!!!

I thought today I would do a recap of all my recipes of the week!

I started the week out with Microwavable Corn.  This was just amazing, darn You Tube!  You have to check it out!  No husking, boiling or grilling.  Perfect corn every time!


Monday was Strawberries and Cream Frappe.  This drink was delish!!!  Perfect blend of strawberries and cream.  If you’re a fan of the Starbucks version, I think you will love this one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tuesday was Skinny Bitch Tuesday and I made Strawberry Biscuits.  They may have taken three tries to make, but they turned out wonderful!  Kind of look like a roll, but tastes like a biscuit.  I’d love for you to try it, to see how your outcome would be.

Wednesday I made Pan Seared Chicken with Cherry Salsa.  This was amazing!  I will make the cherry salsa again and maybe put it on a nice french baguette with some cheese.

Thursday was Grilled Pork Medallions with Grilled Asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto.   My Husband loved the asparagus and he normally wouldn’t eat it, after all it is a vegetable.  Ladies, get your man to eat his vegetables by wrapping it with meat!!  🙂  This is a quick dinner, ready in under 30 minutes, more like 20!!  Perfect for a weeknight.

Friday was Chocolate Cherry Coconut Bread.  Ohhh, so good, just like eating dessert, but low in calories.  This is one of my Husbands favorites.  The bread is super moist, and very chocolaty with pops of fresh cherries.

Saturday, last but not least, probably one of my favorite recipes of this week is my Orange Creamsicle Frappe.  I was amazed on how identical this was to a creamsicle, but with out all the calories and sugar!!!  Guilt free, and perfect for the kids.  I’m going to try freezing it in a Popsicle mold to see how it comes out.

 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks recipes.  I wonder what next week will be like.  I am a wing it kind of girl and I don’t always plan out my meals.  But I can tell you that tomorrows recipe will be good!!  Something that has been requested by a few readers.  I tested it out this weekend and I am very pleased with the outcome and I think you will be too!!

Have a wonderful Sunday!!!

Toodles,

Jen

    Yesterday was nice towards the end, but today was horrible where we live-fog all day long yuck! Hopefully tomorrow will be nicer 🙂 I love that you don’t always plan your meals, I used to think planning makes it easier, but it actually makes it MORE stressful for me to stick to a plan rather then just spontaneously use what is in my fridge! Have a great week love.

      I live in the far East Bay and it was sunny all day!! Thats the only thing I don’t like about SF. Darn Fog! Planning meals, can sometimes be more stressful because it’s pressure to use your ingredients.

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.
🐇
Do you have any plans for Easter?

I am sharing with you how I styled my little table. I received the cutest wooden eggs from @sugarnmilkco. I love the pastel colors. They are just so cute and go with my Easter decor beautifully.
🐰
Sugar n Milk Co is having a Spring sale. Be sure you check them out. They ship fast too. The link is in my bio.

Hope the sun is shining where you live!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

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.

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.

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!!
