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

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me.

I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🎃 
What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
