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 Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
🐰
