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.

    A trip to Trader Joe’s has been on my to-do list for too long now! I haven’t seen those apple sticks before, but can’t wait to try them.

    These snacks r yum-tastic!

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!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!

I have a 20% off discount code for Downlite Bedding: DYGEN20

Do you read in bed?
