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!!

I just smile and pretend I don’t hear him! he he!! I do hope your Husband gets better and soon!! Breaking an ankle is a nasty one, but with him being stuck on the couch, I feel really bad for you!!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
