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!

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?
