Rise and Shine Smoothie

January 1, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Friends,

Well it’s that time of year again you know the time I’m talking about, the time where you say this is what I am going to accomplish this year and at the end of the year you look back and realize, hmmm, I didn’t stick to my New Years resolution.  Heck, I don’t even remember what they were!   Well this year I am really, really going to try!!  I’m putting it out there, so I am accountable and on occasion I’ll check in with you to see if I’m making my goals.   But my first goal is to be realistic!!  Thats a tough one!  I don’t want have champagne dreams on a beer budget so I’m going to try to keep it real!

Rise and Shine Smoothie

Goal #1 to focus more on me and less on my blog.  I spend so much time on the computer that my butt is growing and I am not exercising as much!  I sit 8 hours a day at work, than come home and sit on the computer.  Oh I do stand to cook, but I don’t think that counts!   However since August I have gotten a little better about it, which leads me to goal #2.

Goal # 2 Exercise more!!!  I’ll be honest with you, I put some weight on in 2012 and I am so upset with myself that it depresses me and when I’m depressed I eat!  I have to stop that!!  So my goal for 2013 is do more cardio, at least 30 minutes 5 days a week and do strength training 3 times a week.  I figured about 45 minutes of exercise a day.  I can do that!!!  Which brings me to my crunches before bed.  I used to do 100 crunches before bed and then I stopped.  It may not do much, but I felt better and I plan on doing that again!!


Rise and Shine Smoothie

Goal #3 Stop mindless munching!  I get bored or lonely and I eat.  I need to keep busy and stay out of the kitchen.  I think it’s because I eat low calorie meals, that I tell myself, I didn’t eat that much at lunch so I’ll have this to snack on, and bam I over snacked and blew my calories for the day!!  This is going to be my hardest goal for me to reach!!  Instead of reaching for snacks, I’m going to have hot decaf tea.

Goal #4 Cut back on coffee – Eck!!!!  This is going to also be hard, but I’m not giving it up!  I’ll have one cup in the morning and one Frappe after work as my treat.  I realized when I did my 4 day detox, which was no coffee or caffeine,  I lost 4 pounds instantly.  I know it’s the coffee.  Coffee is good for you, but it does bloat you!

Rise and Shine Smoothie

Goal #5 Try to limit processed foods – I’m pretty good at this, but lately I have been reaching for popcorn chips and tortilla chips, way to much.  If I do have them, then I am going to portion them out ahead of time, so I don’t keep reaching in the bag.  Sounds tedious, but it works.

Goal #6  Get back to my 3, 4, 5 diet!   Which is 300 calories for breakfast, 400 calories for lunch and 500 calories for dinner with two 150 calorie snacks during the day.  This helped me lose my weight originally and I need to get back to that!

Rise and Shine Smoothie

Goal #7 Get involved in something in my community that helps others.  I don’t have very many Friends here in CA, and it’s hard making new Friends especially at my age, so I thought if I get involved in something in my community and I’ll meet other people who have the same things in common with me.

Goal #8 Save money!  Ha ha This is a goal I have every year and it doesn’t seem to work, but I need to put it on my list.  I have gotten a little better.  I remember posting last year that I would put $200 away a month to go towards my dream vacation, which is going to Hawaii, well I did do that, but ended up paying for a trip to Las Vegas instead, plus I’m taking Jenny to Las Vegas next month for her 21st b-day, so my money ended up towards other vacations.  After this Vegas trip, my next one needs to be Hawaii!!  But we shall see, I get an itch to travel and Vegas is cheap and not that far, so I always end up there.  What can I say?  I love the weather, pools and slot machines.  I’m horrible, I know!!

Rise and Shine Smoothie

Goal #9 Start working in my garden.  Since I started blogging I started to neglect my garden.  I need to get back out there and pull weeds, mulch and trim.  Nothing feels better when you look out your window to see a plant that you planted grow.  Plus I want to extend my vegetable garden.  This year it got neglected at the end because of the massive tomato plants that took over.  It was like a jungle in there. and I couldn’t get to my veggies.  This year I’m going to plan it better!!  Nothing tastes better than homemade vegetables!!  Yummy!

Goal #10 to look forward and not to look back at my errors and mistakes, but to look at 2012 and think of what I have accomplished and not what I failed at.  I want to bring in 2013 with a positive, happy feeling because I know it is going to be a great year!!   Speaking of positive and happy, let’s get to today’s recipe!!

This recipe is my Rise and Shine Smoothie.  I wasn’t sure what to call it, but I thought it was perky and fun and would make for a nice start of the day and a great start to the New Year.  This smoothie has a tropical flair with the pineapple, orange juice and coconut milk.   It’s a wonderful fun combination of fruit and I love the two-tone color.  It certainly put a smile on mine and my Husbands face.  I can picture drinking this on a beach somewhere with some fresh croissants, ocean breeze slightly blowing and blue skies with the sound of the ocean in the distance.  I’m a total dreamer.  🙂  I think my Hawaii trip is calling me!

Since I’m still on my New Years resolutions lets take a look back at 2012.

2012 was a year of ups and downs for me!  But I’m not going to dwell on the negative and just look at the positive and all the wonderful things that I did accomplish in 2012.  Here are  a few positives that I am most proud of:

  • I was in Health Magazine
  • I went to Europe for the first time and saw the Eiffel Tower
  • I wrote all the Nutritional Facts for the Trader Joe’s Lunch Box Cookbook
  • I went to my first blogging event and met wonderful people who are now my Friends
  • I made 2nd place in a Trader Joe’s Quinoa recipe competition
  • I upgraded my blog to self hosting and did it on my own, I never cried so much, but felt such a wonderful accomplishment when I actually did it!!
  • I actually made it 3 times in FoodGawker and 3 times in TasteSpotting and they were each different photos.  Funny how one excepts a photo and the other doesn’t.  That was a huge deal for me because I have been working hard on trying to take better photos.  Speaking of photos I have to apologize for today’s photo’s.  My Husband is still working in the kitchen and I’m photographing on a tiny table in my front room.  It’s not easy and the lighting is horrible, so my apologies.

Well that’s it, I think I chewed your ear off long enough.  I’m going to attempt cooking in the kitchen, ha ha with my Husband working 3′ away from me.  This is going to be a challenge.

Happy New Years!!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  What are your New Years Resolutions?

    That’s great that you have ‘realistic’ goals and resolutions and that you are specific about them, instead of just saying ‘get healthier’. One of my goals is to exercise 3-4 days a week along with a couple others. I’m in the same boat as you are. I started 2012 off really great and even lost some weight, but the second half of the year I put on quite a few pounds myself! So good luck to you this and hopefully you succeed in your resolutions.

    It’s great to set small, specific goals–that is the real way to make change. I’m cutting out mindless munching and processed foods, too. I know it can make a really big difference. Adorable cocktails!

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.
🌸
This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.

If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.

Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering

Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.

Were there any commercials you liked?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.

Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.
🌷
The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.
🐦
How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
