Weekly Recap – Sept. 16, 2013

September 16, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have to tell you my Saturday became a big bust!!  I took a half day of work on Friday to get my household chores done, and then my Husband told me I had to come to his work to get an oil change.  So needless to say it kind of interrupted my plans.  Then on Saturday I got ready to go to the beach and my Husband came running in the house and told me our water heater is done and leaking all over the garage and we need a new one NOW!  He made me go with him at Home Depot with him at 6:30 in the morning before my cup of coffee!!  Doesn’t the man know I need my coffee before I do anything?   He told me I couldn’t go to the beach because he may need my help.  So I stayed home to help for a whole 10 minutes!  Ugh!!!  Nothing has gone right for me!!  I swear I need to count to 10 and breath!!!  After all that I decided I would exercise because I drowned myself in about a pound of granola.  Dam sprouts and their yummy granola!!  Then my Husband said you can’t exercise, we need to go the dump to drop off the old water heater.  Why can’t he do anything on his own?  He does fun things with his Friends and I do all the crappy stuff with him.  Sorry, I just needed to vent!!

Oh and get this to top it all off, I decided I would make muffins to share with you this week, and guess what?  My baking powder went flat!!  I made muffins earlier this week and I thought maybe it was the recipe, so I tried another, nope flat muffins.  It has to be the baking powder.  The muffins tasted ok, but not very pretty.  When I left my kitchen for a whole 2 minutes, I came back and my good dog, Samantha decided she would eat a dozen muffins!  So even if they did turn out, I couldn’t share them with you!  They were on the cooling rack!  I can’t believe she ate them!!  She has never done that.  At least they were low-fat and not much sugar in them. She gave me her paw of approval!  So what is up with today?  Do you ever have days like this?

Well here’s this weeks weekly recap:

Monday – Southwest Chicken and Bean Soup from the Secret Recipe Club.  This soup is simply delish!  I love anything that is south-west and the best part is I discovered a new blog which I love!


Tuesday – Whole Wheat Yogurt Apple Pancake Cake – This was my one year anniversary!  I am so happy I made it to this day!  This apple pancake is amazing!  It’s low-calorie and full of apples and cinnamon.  I even warmed it up, and top with some homemade vanilla frozen yogurt on top and had it for dessert.  It really does taste like an apple pie and a mere 86 calories a slice, you can’t beat that!!

Wednesday – Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt – I LOVE this dessert!  Matter in fact I have it freezing in the freezer right now!  The flavors are wonderful and it’s so healthy!  Completely guilt-free!!  I can’t even tell you enough how much I love it!!

Thursday – Acorn Squash Stuffed with Cabbage, Peppers and Onions – I loved this dinner!  The flavor combination may seem a little bit off, but trust me it tastes just wonderful!!  I’m so happy that acorn squash is back in season!

Friday – Ranch Burgers – I have so much fun making burgers!!  This one tastes wonderful, I nice change-up from the traditional burger.  The greek yogurt and ranch seasoning makes this burger extra tasty!!

Saturday – Spicy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs – This is the first time I ever used ground chicken and I love it!!!  These meatballs are super yummy!  There moist tender and has just a hint of heat!  The blue cheese makes it all that much better!  If you like Buffalo Chicken Wings you must try this recipe!!  It’s so quick and easy!!

Well my Friends!  I am off to go with my Husband to the dumps!  Fun wow!!!  Thanks for listening to me gripe!  I feel so much better getting it out!!  Oh and while I’m out, I better get some baking powder!  🙂

Have a nice rest of the weekend!

Toodles,

Jen

P.S.  This is what I have been craving this week, besides the pumpkin frozen yogurt!  Taco Lasagna!  Yum!  I need to make this again and soon!  I love the spicy stuff!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

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.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

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?

Hi Everyone! Summer sure came. It was 106 yesterda Hi Everyone! Summer sure came. It was 106 yesterday and today cooler at 103. Holy Moly! I think I could fry an egg outside. 
🌸
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. 
🐾
Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

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.
