Three Pepper Roasted Hummus / Vegas

August 13, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Oh Monday is going to be tough for me.  After having 9 days off and then going back.  Ugh!  Now don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but it would be so nice to win the lottery and be a stay at home wife!  🙂  Sigh…  For today’s post I have lots of goodies to share with you.  First off I made this!

Your looking at my Three Pepper Spicy Hummus.  This hummus is creamy and only has a slight kick of heat from the jalapeno type pepper I used.  I am growing it in my garden and I don’t recall the name of the pepper.  The heat on it is very similar to a jalapeno, so in the recipe I recommend using a jalapeno.


To make the hummus I also used a small sweet bell pepper and a gypsy pepper from my CSA box.  I decided to roast my peppers on the grill for added flavor.  Have you ever roasted peppers?  It’s so easy.  I cored the peppers, take out the seeds and place directly on the grill.  I roast it until it’s charred turning about every 2  – 3 minutes.  Once the pepper is chard, I place it in a brown lunch bag to steam.  I let it sit for about 30 minutes.  Then I peel the skin off the pepper.  It’s really easy and quick.

I decided to make a healthy hummus with no oil or tahini paste this week because I haven’t had it in so long and I thought it would go great on veggie sandwiches, plus it makes for a great snack for dipping veggies in.  It’s all part of my healthy eating that I plan on doing.  Since I was on the make healthy food for the week, I also grilled 3 chicken breasts for salads, sandwiches other recipes that I may make this week.  I weighed the chicken and placed in ziplock baggies for easy grabbing and portion control.

After I’m done writing this post, I plan on cutting up some strawberries and making a big batch of quinoa for my lunches and breakfast parfait jars.  It’s so nice big batch cooking, it makes for easy breakfast and lunches.  Today, I also did some much-needed vegetable picking from my garden.  It seems my vegetables went crazy while I was gone.  Here is today’s pick, and there are more tomatoes coming.  What should I do with all of these tomatoes?

This Sunday I woke up had some yummy Dunkin Donuts K-Cup Coffee.  I didn’t sleep to well, since I picked up a sore throat from Las Vegas.  At least I don’t feel sick.  I did start my 90 day program and I did my morning workout, which made me feel so good that I did it.  After my workout I went to Trader Joe’s for some much-needed groceries.  I didn’t get as many veggies as I wanted to, but that is only because I am getting my CSA box on Wednesday and I’m not sure what will be in it.  Speaking of Trader Joe’s, here is a picture of this weeks buys, oh and speaking of buys there are some new goodies that I picked up.  You’ll have to go to my Trader Joe’s page and look under new items.  There are two I am really excited about.

I thought I would fill you in on more about my Vegas trip.  The first full day that we were there we decided to go to Hoover Dam.  We have been to Las Vegas about half a dozen times and yet we never go anywhere away from the strip.  We decided on this one we should see what Hoover Dam is like.

We thought it was pretty cool!  There was a Memorial Bridge up above and my Husband wanted to walk across it, so we did.

We climbed up some stairs, and died from the heat, it was 116 degrees out at 11am, but we did it!!  The view from the bridge was gorgeous!!!  It was pretty cool to think we walked to Arizona!  🙂

When we left Hoover Dam there was a lookout point of Lake Mead.  I never realized how big Lake Mead was.  But then again I should have known, it’s where they hold the bass fishing tournaments.  Lake Mead I believe is the largest man-made lake there is, but I could be wrong about that.

After we left Lake Mead we decided to head back to the strip for lunch.  We went to one of our favorite cheap spots, Pinks Hot Dogs located at Planet Hollywood.  It’s not healthy, but it’s dam good!  We always stop at Pinks when we are in LA, so it’s a must stop when were in Vegas.

The hot dog in the middle is mine!  So darn delicious!  It was ketchup, mustard, pickles and jalapenos.  Don’t mock it until you try it!!  My Husband had the chili cheese dog with mustard and onions.  It’s the classy version of his shitty canoes, which is a hot dog loaded with chili!!  Blah!!

Well my peeps I have been rambling and it’s getting late and I still need to make that quinoa.  Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!

Toodles,

Jen

    Do you have a substitute for gypsy peppers? I don’t think they have any on Guam 🙁

      I would use another sweet bell pepper instead of a gypsy pepper. Thats what I would of used if I didn’t have the gypsy peppers.

    I occasionally think I want to stay at home someday and not work…but I think I’d get bored within a few days. Definitely within a week or so!!

    This hummus looks great! Definitely perfect for snacking or sandwiches!

    I pin almost all of your recipes, and this hummus is no exception 🙂 what should you do with your tomatoes, you ask? a few suggestions that I’ve done with my garden tomatoes: 1) creamy roasted tomato soup (not a LOT of cream, just about a half cup or so – gotta stay healthy!), 2) roasted garlic and herb tomato sauce, or 3) dice them and can them, so you can taste your summer tomatoes in the middle of winter! looking forward to see what you decide to do…thanks for all your recipes! 🙂

    If you are really slammed for time, you can just freeze the tomatoes whole, with peels still on, in baggies. When you want tomatoes for cooking, just thaw, and the peels come off by themselves!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
