Weekly Recap – September 23, 2012

September 23, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 6 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Where does the time go?  I can’t believe it’s back to work tomorrow!  I’m not ready, I think I need a three day weekend!  Matter of fact, I think we all need a three or maybe four day weekend!  Speaking of work I have a gross, but funny story to tell you.  On Friday my co-worker came into my office and she’s talking, and all I thought was ewww, she came into my office and farted!   I never said anything to her, but I thought, how gross.  Then she left my office and I noticed 10 minutes later it still smelled like farts.  I thought dam her fart is lingering, what the heck?  So gross!  Wishing I could open a window or something.  You should know, just a few minutes before she came into my office I had a snack pack with carrots and broccoli, I ate the carrots but never touched the broccoli, they looked a little to yellow.  So anyway I looked in my garbage and the fart smell was the broccoli!  Ewww, I started to laugh!  I went to her and told her that I thought she farted in my office, you should have seen her face!  The shock!!  I was laughing so hard, I was crying!!  Makeup everywhere, I couldn’t breath!!  Then I told her it was the broccoli in my garbage and she cracked up!  Poor thing!  I really did think she farted in my office.  lol  I told her we should put the broccoli  in our boss’s office, oh boy, we laughed about that one!!!  I could only imagine what he would say!  I know that was such a gross story to tell, but it made me laugh and I just had to share it with you.  You may think that you can’t believe you read this and it’s totally gross for me to even type it, but think what you want, farting is a natural thing, no matter how stinky it may be!!  Please, just don’t do it in my office!  I’m just so glad I didn’t eat the broccoli!!!

Here’s this weeks weekly recap:

Monday – How to make Pumpkin Puree and the Perfect Pumpkin Seeds 101 – I put these directions into my Helpful Kitchen Tips.  I’m glad I made my pumpkin more savory by adding olive oil, salt and pepper.  Early next month I’ll be sharing with you what I made with it.


Tuesday – Coconut Macaroons – I loved these cookies and I am so proud of them.  There very easy to make and they taste so darn good.  If you like coconut I think these cookies are for you!!

Wednesday – Pumpkin Pie Muffins – Oh my gosh I love these little muffins!  Glad I was searching on Pintrest and found them.  They taste just like pumpkin pie with out all the calories or the crust!!  These were a hit at my work!

Thursday – Vegetable Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce – Why I never made peanut sauce until today, I will never know!  This sauce is amazing!  I need to make a big batch of it so I can put it on everything.  This stir fry would also taste fabulous with chicken or shrimp!

Friday – Turkey, Cranberry and Pear Panini – I loved, loved, loved this sandwich!!  The combination of it all together is simply wonderful and topping it with aged white cheddar cheese!  Yes please!!  This sandwich will be making it to my lunch box next week!!  Oh and this will be great for Thanksgiving leftovers, so we will be bringing this sandwich back then!

Saturday – Skinny Green Tea Frappe – This drink was requested by a few of my readers.  I was really impressed with this drink. It’s not one I would normally order from Starbucks, but since I am making it at home, I’ll be sure to be making this again.  The drink is refreshing and light.  I love the addition of fresh honeydew melon.  So much better than using high calorie sugary syrup!

Well it’s been an interesting week from pumpkin, to Asian to Green Tea Frappes.  Hmmm, I wonder what I’ll be creating next?  I can promise you more pumpkin is on the way.  I still haven’t gotten pumpkin out of my system.  I just love it!!!!

Well it’s late Saturday night, time for me to go to bed so I can get up early and think of my next creation.

Have a lovely day!!

Toodles,

Jen

P.S.  After going to Target, I picked up some more candy corn and thought of my Candy Corn Sugar Cookies!!  I love them and will be making them this week!  Only 41 calories a cookie!!  🙂

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.
🐰
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in Bio.

What’s the weather like where you live?
