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

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!!!
