Weekly Recap

August 5, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hidi Ho Neighbors,

How are you on this glorious Sunday?  I have to tell you I’m pretty proud of myself, I have been sticking to my workouts and stuck to what I said, no blogging until I get my workouts in.  I got in 4 days this week of my Chalean Extreme Workout and boy do I feel it.  I like it because she does each exercise really slow, so you can feel the burn.  I actually can feel my arms toning up and I love it!!!

This weekend I had my work BBQ which was so much fun!  I look forward to it every year! This year we had wonderful Salmon on the grill, corn on the cob and lots of appetizers which I over did, big time!  I ate so much that I swear my stomach was going to explode, yet I had to have more.   I was totally full, then the chicken kabobs came off the grill and I said no thank you then they served it with homemade peanut sauce.  Ummm, PB, ok I’ll have one.  I couldn’t stop myself.  For dessert I had a wonderful apple pie crumble that my boss’s wife made. It tasted absolutely amazing!  I swear she should have her own cooking show or write a cookbook, she is a fabulous cook!!  Here’s a few pictures from the BBQ.

My two girls from the office, Andrea and Michelle. (Hi Ladies!)


Here’s me shooting a bow.  After seeing some of my co-workers shoot, it I’m kind of scared. I better be nicer to them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adorable Ollie!  I love this dog, he’s so cute and well-behaved, well except that he went after the Blueberry Crumble Cake!  Who can blame him?  I’d do the same if I could!

I really wish I took a picture of all the food for you to see, but it’s to hard to take a picture when I was constantly filling my mouth with everything!!  The party was such a great time. I want to thank my boss and his wife for having this crazy group of people over to there home.  Speaking of crazy group of people. I was checking out the pictures from the party and I found a bunch of funny faces on my camera, some were kind of scary looking.  It seems some people were having fun with my camera when I wasn’t around.  I’d share them with you but I promised I wouldn’t!!

For this weeks recap:

I started out Monday with my newest coffee drink, Almond Joy Frappe.  This drink is fantastic and I had it about 4 times this week.  If you’re an Almond Joy fan you’ll love this drink!

Almond Joy Frappe

Tuesday – Smore’s Pancake Popover Wannabe’s – These little guys will satisfy any chocolate craving you may have!  I love them and I love that there guilt-free!

Wednesday – Grilled Zucchini Pizza’s – This was a huge hit for me this week.  It seems a lot of people like their pizza!  These tasted fantastic, are easy to make and are completely healthy!!  My Husband who hates zucchini loved these and I asked him if can I make them again and he said yup!!  Yah!!

Thursday – Italian Grilled Shrimp Kabob’s – These were nice and quick to make, that paired well with the zucchini pizza.  My Husband loved them and he at 3/4’s of a pound of them.

Friday – Taco Burgers – I love these burgers, there easy to make and seem to be a real crowd pleaser. If you like taco’s you’ll be sure to love these burgers.

Saturday – California Chicken Sandwich – This is my favorite go to sandwich.  It’s healthy, hearty and loaded with lots of flavor.  This is great to make with leftover chicken.

Not only during the week do I like to create my own recipes but I also like to create some of yours.  There are so many talented bloggers out there that make so many wonderful recipes that I feel they deserve recognition too.  I honestly wish I had the time to make everyone’s recipes, but I can’t, but I do try.  I have so many recipes bookmarked that I want to try.  This week Baker Street made a fabulous M&M’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake that I just had to make.  I saw it and I knew I must make it immediately!!  Sure enough, that evening I did and let me tell you holy chocolate chips does it taste good!!!!  I made it for my Husband to take to work and everyday he has taken a slice.  He loved it and he loved the change-up for this weeks sweet treat! See normally I make him traditional chocolate chip cookies, but this week I thought why not make cake?  Cake is always good and it’s always a happy surprise when someone makes it for you.

I didn’t change the recipe at all, the only thing I did was use Peanut Butter M&M’s and used a Spring-form Cake Pan because I couldn’t find my round cake pans.  Other than that the recipe is the same.  If you’re a chocolate chip cookie fan you must make this cake.  No it’s not healthy, but it is so good and makes for a tasty treat!!  I crumbled some of it up and put it in my frozen yogurt.  Baker Street is a wonderful blog full of different kinds of bake goods.  Baker Street has step by step how to make bread, every Monday is Muffin Monday, which I love and throughout the week she throws in a surprise recipe, like this cake.  I love her blog and I highly recommend you check it out.  Speaking of checking out, look at how my cake turned out!!  Don’t you just want a slice?

Wow, this was a fun week, with my work BBQ, new recipe creations and cake, that I look forward to seeing what next week brings.  It’s birthday week, meaning I think everyday this week should be full of fun and surprises!!   So celebrate with me, and do something fun everyday!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend!!

Toodles,

Jen

P.S.

I can’t get enough of frozen yogurt I just had to share it with you again!  I have made this everyday, matter in fact I have one in the freezer right now!!  Yum!

      Hi, Make whatever flavor you like. Take the base of plain yogurt, add a little sugar and vanilla extract, then mix in whatever your heart desires, like strawberries or peaches. I have done chocolate chips, banana and strawberry, mint extract with chocolate chips, blueberries, peanut butter and nutella and strawberries. Whatever you like add it in. I’m going to make a blueberry one right now! 🙂

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

🌸
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.

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I’m so happy it’s half way over. It’s been so busy and yesterday I didn’t feel good. I had Chipotle for lunch and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Ugh!

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

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.

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?
