Pear and Cream Cheese Fillo Cups / Recipe Recap

December 23, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Sunday,

Do you ever have one of those days where nothing goes according to your plans?  That was my Saturday!  In the morning, I did my routine, exercise, have breakfast take a shower.  As lazy as I felt I told myself, you are going to clean the front room, wrap presents, make dinner and eat healthy today, no chocolate and no cookies.  Well I kind of failed!  I geared up got ready to do what I needed to do and my Husband said come with me.  Come with you where, I asked.  He wouldn’t tell me.  He said we won’t be gone long, so come on.  Fine I did, kind of irritated, but I went.  He took me to Home Depot!  Home Depot!  He said he needed spray paint for his car.  Ugh!!  Are you kidding me?  So he took me into Home Depot and for my Christmas present he bought me my refrigerator that I wanted.  It’s beautiful!  We ordered it and it will arrive on Friday!  Yah!!  Not exactly what I wanted for Christmas, but then he said, that means we need new cabinets for the kitchen.   Huh?  Cabinets?  Maybe a new floor?  What?   He he, for Christmas I am getting a mini remodel!  Yah!!  I’ll take that over gifts!!  I can’t wait till we start!!  He did mention I’ll have to live out of boxes for a while until he can get the cabinets and stuff.  I can live with that too!!  I can’t wait to show you!  My kitchen is ok, but it’s not organized very well.  My pantry is so small that it won’t fit a box of cereal in it.  I am so ready for some normal shelving!!!  Now I just have to figure out the colors of the cabinets I want.  Personally I like white, but he said no because it will get to dirty looking.  I’ll probably go with a dark brown then.  So after Home Depot instead of coming home, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a late, but light lunch.  Let me tell you nothing is light in there, but it was good.  So I blew my calories, and didn’t get my chores done.  Matter in fact I have dinner in the crockpot and we are so not hungry for it.  I hope it can last a few more hours.  But I did manage to make these little guys when I got home.  This recipe has been sitting in the back of my mind all week.

pear cream cheese fillo cups

These are my pear and cream cheese fillo cups.  I wanted to share them with you before Christmas because it is a fabulous appetizer that can be put together in a snap.  It’s made with cream cheese, honey, cinnamon, fresh pear and walnuts.  It’s kind of like pear crisp meets cheesecake.

Pear and Cream Cheese Fillo Cups


When you take the first bite it tastes just like a sweet fruit crisp, then you get to the bottom and you have a wonderful cinnamon cream cheese that melts in your mouth.  The fillo cups are crisp and perfect.  I put it all together in a matter of minutes and baked the cups for 10 minutes and out came these darling little appetizers.  If you are going to serve them right away, the pop of whip cream gives them an extra bonus of flavor and the whip cream melts perfectly over the top.

Pear and Cream Cheese Fillo Cups

I thought this would be so perfect for the holidays.  If you wanted to add a little red to it, you could always add a few pomegranate arils to it, instead of the walnuts.  I debated about doing that, but skipped it, since my husband doesn’t care for pomegranate seeds.  Also if you don’t have pear, I think apple would work out great too!

Now for this weeks recap

Monday:  Hamburger Soup – This soup has a wonderful flavor and it tastes even better the next day.  The second day the noodles expanded a little more and it gave it more of a pasta type dish.  It was a huge hit with the family!

hamburger soup 010a

Tuesday:  Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip – I can’t tell you more than this is a fantastic dip!! It truly tastes like a chicken wing with out all the fat and oil.  It’s made with greek yogurt, cream cheese, Franks Hot Sauce and cooked chicken. I loved dipping my chips into it!!!  It’s highly addicting!!

chicken wing dip 014a

Wednesday:  NY Deli Rye Bead – 5 Minutes A Day – Love this bread and it is so simple.  really all you do is throw everything together, mix with a wooden spoon and refrigerate for up to two weeks.  Pull off a chunk of dough, mold it into shape, let it rise for 40 minutes and bake.  The bread is crispy on the outside and so soft in the middle.  My Husband and I finished a loaf for dinner!!  Great bread to make for first time bread makers!

Rye Bread 011a

Thursday:  Christmas Cranberry Smoothie – Normally when I come home from work, I have a frappe, but this day I was wanting a smoothie.  So I came up with my Christmas smoothie.  It’s creamy, sweet and has the slightest tang from the cranberry juice.  It’s filling and light too!!

cranberry smoothie 041a

Friday:  Holiday Pomegranate Mojito – I rarely post alcohol recipes on my blog, matter in fact besides my Baileys Shake I think this maybe my first one.  I figured with Christmas and New Years upon us, this would be a nice drink to celebrate the holiday.  It’s light, bubbly and a little sweet.  I personally love mojitos, so this drink tops my favorite drink list!

pomegrante mojito 001a

Saturday:  Black Bean and Butternut Squash Quinoa Tacos / Salad – I love, love, love this combination!!  I have been eating this salad all week on tacos, lettuce and as side dish.  I add a little avocado and hot sauce and it’s perfect!!

quinoa buttrnut squash and black beans 031a

Well my Friends, I am not hungry, but I need to take my dinner out of the crockpot.  I’m thinking of having it tomorrow instead.  I can’t believe a shared appetizer would be so filling.  Well I did have a few Pear and Cream Cheese cups, he he!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is:  Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cashew Butter

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops.

What are your plans for the weekend?
