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.

    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! 🙂

    You look so happy with that hotdog in your hands, and I don’t blame you. It looks amazing.

    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!

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me.

I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.

Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
