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.

Hello hello! Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy w Hello hello! Happy Thursday!  It’s been a busy week, so the weekend can’t get here soon enough. Yesterday it hit 66, it felt like spring out. This weekend, I’ll be cleaning up the garden. I’ll take you on a tiny tour this weekend.
❤️
I love making vignettes. It helps give me ideas on how and where I want to display things in my home, so you may see some of these items placed somewhere else at a later date.
❤️
My friend Liz @little_bit_original gifted me the cute little coffee with heart block and the snowman with heart. Give me all the hearts!  Liz has the cutest little shop, be sure you check her out.
❤️
What would you rather have? Chocolate or Flowers?

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.
💕
Be sure to check out Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code, plus free shipping on $25 and more:  PBANDP
💕
What color do you like to use for Valentines? Pink or Red?

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?
