Weekly Recap

July 29, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 9 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Sunday to you!  This Saturday I was on a mission.  I was looking for Laptops and I drove all over the Bay Area looking.  Needless to say I am going to end up back at my first stop, Best Buy.  My computer I am working on now is on its last legs.  After looking at computers, We went to Fuddruckers for dinner.  I got one of their fat Elk Burgers.  Oh my gosh, have you ever had one?  There so good!  Low in fat, low in calories and high in protein, only 433 calories for the burger on a wheat bun.  I love their buns, but there not good for mine.  lol  One thing I love about Fuddruckers is their salad bar.  I load my Burgers with lettuce, tomatoes and jalapenos and add just a pinch of nacho cheese.  Yum!!!  Of course I headed to Trader Joe’s after dinner for a few items to get me through the week.  I got the same old stuff as usual but I did find two new items that I had to try.  The first item is their new Apple Cinnamon Sticks.  Holy yum yums!  They taste delish.  There multigrain, 140 calories for 38 sticks!  They kind of taste like Apple Jacks cereal, but way better.  I can see them crushed up on ice cream or even on warmed apples.  There a nice snack!  Trader Joe’s did good on this one.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second new item I got was sugar free gum.  Nothing exciting there, but it’s kind of cool to carry some TJ’s in my purse.  🙂

I also got an unexpected surprise package from Petit Amuse.  Look at the goodies I got!  I got Oogies Sun-dried tomato & Parmesan popcorn, Salted Shortbread Cookie & Cha-Cha Cookie from Lark, (Can’t wait to try the Cha-Chas, there spicy, rich chocolate cookie), Ice Wine Jelly and Garukabars Raw Honey Primal Energy Bar made with whole peanuts, dried cranberries and raw honey.   I just love getting this kind of stuff.  So much fun!!

Petit Amuse is a local business located in San Francisco that sends out once a month surprise goodie boxes with treats from artisan food producers that you’ve never heard of and give you a taste of what you didn’t even know you were missing.  The best way to describe them, is their like Foodie Penpal.  It costs a flat rate of $10.00 a month and you get a surprise package of different items.  The best part is, if you like something that you get, you can order it online at there website.  I like that idea.  Nothing worse than getting something and not being able to get it again.  I think this is pretty cool, especially if your like me and you like to get surprises in the mail.  You should check their site out if your interested.  Here’s there website.

Here is this weeks recipe recaps:

Started the week out with Cherry Chip Frozen Yogurt – This my friends is my favorite new dessert.  I eat it every night!  Guilt-free, full of protein and I get to make any flavor I like!  I just LOVE it!!

Tuesday was Skinny Bitch Tuesday where I made Cheesy Potato Bake – Love this side dish to, the thyme and rosemary really added the extra flavor that this dish needed.

Wednesday was Nutella Coffee Frappe – I already had two this week.  Darn Nutella, I love that creamy, chocolaty spread and now I am glad I can drink it, without the guilt!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thursday was Veggie Garden Bake – I’m proud of this dish, it comes in a little over 120 calories, full of protein, fiber and fresh veggies.  This also made the Foodbuzz top 9 on Saturday!  I can’t believe two weeks in a row hitting the top 9!!  🙂

Friday was my Roasted Corn Salad – This was a recipe remake and I am so glad I did.  I spend so much time making new recipes that I tend to forget about the old.  This is a little time-consuming but so worth it.  You can use it as a side dish, top of hot dogs or do what I did and make a salad.

Salad Version:

Saturday was my Smokey Chipotle BBQ Sauce – I love it!  It’s got a nice smokey hickory flavor with a hint of heat from the Chipotle Powder.  Nothing beats homemade BBQ Sauce!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks recaps!  I enjoyed making them, I already made two more recipes to share with you, their good and I can’t wait to find out what you think!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Here is my  Orange Creamsicle Frappe, one of my favorite recipes that I had for my Saturday afternoon!  It’s refreshing creamy and delish!

      I bought my Hazelnut Extract from my grocery store, Lucky’s. It’s in with the spices. The name brand I use is McCormick.

      For computers, I have no clue! I went to Best Buy, told them what I wanted my computer for and they directed me to this Toshiba Satellite. Other then that I have no computer knowledge. They don’t get commission at Best Buy so they ask what your price range is and what you need it for. So far I’m pretty happy with my Toshiba, but it has only been a day.

Hi Everyone! Summer sure came. It was 106 yesterda Hi Everyone! Summer sure came. It was 106 yesterday and today cooler at 103. Holy Moly! I think I could fry an egg outside. 
🌸
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.
🌸
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

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.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

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.

My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

🌸
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?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
