Recipe Recap

December 30, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Normally I would post a recipe for you today, but I’m holding off because my Husband is working in the kitchen and I am unable to cook and bake.  Ahhhhh!!!!  My kitchen is a disaster area!!  For Christmas I got a refrigerator and it finally arrived.  My Husband is re-arranging my kitchen so my refrigerator is going to go where my horrible pantry was and he is going to put in a new pantry where the fridge was.  Yah!!  He just informed me that he is going to have to drywall the kitchen   I am not looking forward to that!  Dry walling makes a horrible mess with the sanding and all!!  So you will have to bare with me for a few weeks, with recipes and photos.  Where I take my photos, it’s now where all my kitchen pantry goods are sitting.  I have to keep them up high or my dog will be digging into the boxes and bags.   The next few weeks should be interesting around here!!  Here is my weekly recap:

Monday:  Super Chocolaty Hot Chocolate – This drink is simply amazing!  It’s creamy, smooth and definitely satisfies the sweet tooth.  Making it with unsweetened coconut milk, really gives it the creamy flavor!!  My family was shocked on how good it tastes.  I served this at Christmas breakfast!

Super Chocolaty Hot Chocolate

Tuesday (Christmas):  Gingerbread Pancakes – I don’t know what it is, but whenever there is a holiday or celebration I like to make pancakes!  They are just fun and I like decorating them.  I think it’s my version to what normal people make at celebrations, which is cake!!  These pancakes are light, fluffy and a perfect replica of gingerbread!


Gingerbread Pancakes

Wednesday:  Tomato Soup – This is such an easy and quick dinner to make.  It’ so perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich!!  I really don’t think there is any more comforting soup, except maybe chicken noodle.  Love my tomato soup!!

Tomato Soup

Thursday:  Homemade Nutella – This is pure danger around me!!  It’s so good, creamy and chocolaty   I think I have a bit of a sweet tooth this week!  I’m telling you, if you like Nutella, you must try this recipe!  It’s easy to make, and honestly I think it tastes better than Nutella.  It tastes even better than next day!  Glad I have left over hazelnuts because I can guarantee I am going to make this again this week!!

Nutella

Friday:  Smoked Paprika Edamame Bean Dip – This dip is amazing and so healthy for you!  You can eat as much of it as you want and it is completely guilt-free!!  I have been nibbling on this dip all weekend and I even put it on my veggie sandwich!!!

edamame bean dip 021a

Saturday:  Yogurt Toppings – You know how much I love yogurt!  I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I don’t have it!!  It’s so good!  I really had fun creating all of these toppings! I have to say I don’t have a favorite topping because they are all good, depending on your mood.  But the chocolate with the orange is my new go to one!  I have it for my after dinner dessert!

Yogurt Toppings

Well Guys, this is it for me today!!  Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and Happy New Years!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is Artichoke and Jalapeno Ranch Dip.  I can’t get enough of this dip!  I have made it 4 times since I posted this recipe a few weeks ago!  It’s just so good!!!

    I know your pain, but no worries, it will pass so quick that you won’t even notice. You’re lucky that you have a dog. With my can there’s no place (except the one you can close with a key) that he won’t get into. I must say that a picture with a gingerbread pancakes is amazing. I love all the decoration. It looks so yummy.

    I could go for a HUGE stack of those gingerbread pancakes, a huge scoop of the edamame dip, and an even larger scoop of the homemade Nutella. Not all together, of course! Amazing recap!! My mouth is watering. 🙂

      Thanks Anna! It will go quick because my Husband doesn’t want to listen to me moan and groan, plus I refuse to buy groceries until the kitchen is done, so it’s throw it together what you have in boxes and freezer week and my Husband is not to thrilled about that!! lol Happy New Years!!

    Congrats on the new fridge and jazzed up kitchen. I feel your pain. When we redid our house we were at it for 3 months. It was wild, ate out every day.

    I still haven’t made homemade nutella. I need to get on that.

      At least my re-model is small and my Husband is moving pretty quick. It’s just a pain in the fanny and yes we have eaten out quite a bit! You have to try the Nutella, I am amazed how much it tastes like the real deal!

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!

I have a 20% off discount code for Downlite Bedding: DYGEN20
