Readers Choice, Top 10 Recipes for 2012

December 31, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Years Eve! Today I thought I would give you the top 10 recipes of 2012 chosen by you.  It’s pretty cool that I get to do this because I just hit my one year in September.  I have to say, I am shocked to find that only two food recipes make my top 10, the rest are drinks.  Hmmm, I wonder what it will be like in 2013?  Will these recipes stay on the list or will there be something new and exciting?  Ohhh, the pressure!!  Ready, let’s see what is at number 10.

10.  Healthy Shamrock Shake – This drink was my first recipe that got a lot of hits on Pintrest!  I made it because I kept seeing the commercials for McDonalds Shamrock Shake.  I wanted one!!  I looked at the nutritional label for all of my meals that I eat or want and saw how many McDonalds had and I knew I could never have one.  So what is a girl to do?  Make one herself!!  Now my Healthy Shamrock Shake was born!!

Healthy Shamrock Shake

9.  Coconut Mocha Frappe – My first Frappe Ever!  I don’t know what ever started me on making coffee frappes, but this one is the one that inspired me to make all my other coffee drinks.  I fell in love with the taste, how simple it is to make and how low calorie they are!!  This is one drink I’ll never forget that I made!!  I’m proud that it is still in the top 10!

8.  Lemon Cheesecake – This was my very first mini cheesecake I that have ever made!  I am proud of these little guys!  These cheesecakes inspired me to make all my other ones.

7.  Pumpkin Pancakes – I love these pancakes!  I stocked up on canned pumpkin so I can make these.  They are in my weekly rotation!  They are light, fluffy and fun!!!

6.  Chocolate Peanut Butter Frappe – Thanks to Reese’s posting this on their Facebook page, it climbed the chart and knocked out my Buffalo Chicken Wing Wontons, which has been on the top 10 list all year!!

Peanut Butter Frappe

5.  Skinny Peppermint Mocha Frappe  – I love this drink, I rotate between this one and the #2 on this list during the week!  I stocked up on Trader Joe’s Peppermint Extract so I can make these all year round!

4.  Strawberry and Cream Frappe – I love this drink in the summer!!  I made this for my step-daughter who loves Starbucks Strawberry and Cream frappe and I wanted her to have a healthier version.  She loves it better than Starbucks!  Yah!!  Plus I love the pink color!  I’m kind of a strawberry freak!!

Strawberries and Cream Frappe

3.  Nutella Coffee Frappe – Love this drink!  When I’m craving chocolate or Nutella which seems to be a lot lately, I make this drink!!  Definitely more filling and healthier than spooning Nutella out of the jar!!  🙂

Nutella Frappe

2.  Skinny Vanilla Mocha Frappe – This is my personal favorite frappe and my Husbands too!  This has been viewed over 300,000 times and is my second biggest pinned recipe on Pintrest.  After having the Starbucks version I realized I like mine more, I think it’s because of the chocolate!  It’s sweet and so low calorie!!  I swear I could drink about 3 of these a day!!  I’m not kidding about that!!

Skinny Vanilla Frappe

Ready for the number one!  Drum roll please…

1.  Pumpkin Spice Frappe – This is my most pinned recipe, with over 18,000 views in one day!!  I’ll never forget that day!  My Husband and I sat at my computer and kept wondering how high is it now?  When I went to bed, I was at 12,000 views and my Husband and I made bets to where it was going to be when we woke up, and we both almost fell over when my stats read 18,000!!  I loved that day!  That was when I was really proud to be a food blogger!!  I don’t think I’ll ever top that one!  As of today it’s still going strong at over 490,000 views!  It’s crazy!!!  That’s double the size of the town I live in.  Since this recipe posted in August it is still my number one viewed recipe everyday!  I guess you Guys like your pumpkin and I don’t blame you!!  I have about 10 cans of the good orange stuff in my cupboard!  What’s nice about this drink is there are two versions of this recipe, one for coffee drinkers and one for non-coffee drinkers.

Coffee Version

Cream Version

I want to thank you Guys for making this even possible!  I owe so much gratitude to you!  I have been blogging for 15 months now and I simply love it!  It’s your comments, views and encouragement that makes me do this everyday!!!  So I want to give you a big THANK YOU!!!

I really can’t wait to see what 2013 brings!!!  Will these drinks still be on the top 10?  I have a feeling the Pumpkin one will still be there, but can it holds its spot at number one?  I guess we will find out next year!!!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Well I think this proves once and for all that you are the frappe queen! ANd that you should certainly consider opening up your own starbucks-like chain with only good-for-you frappes! Happy new year chica!

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.

Do you have any plans for Easter?

I am sharing with you how I styled my little table. I received the cutest wooden eggs from @sugarnmilkco. I love the pastel colors. They are just so cute and go with my Easter decor beautifully.

Sugar n Milk Co is having a Spring sale. Be sure you check them out. They ship fast too. The link is in my bio.

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

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.

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?

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.

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!!
