Oven Roasted Tomatoes with Balsamic Glaze / Weekly Recap

January 27, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Let me tell you I had quite a Friday!  I went to get my hair done and I asked for sun beachy blonde, like a light golden brown and she colored my hair brown!  AHHH!!!  We totally both had different ideas in our head.  After she did my hair, I practically cried and said where’s the blonde?  She said my hair will lighten up, but that didn’t satisfy me, so I had her put some blonde streaks in my hair.  Not sure how I feel about my hair.  I will tell you, I am a natural brunette  but I look so much better as a blonde.  Brown makes me look so washed out.  We shall see how it goes.  Don’t you hate when things like this happen?  I should have just said touch up my roots.  Sigh….  Well anyway, I had to get that out, I feel so much better, thanks for listening!  Now for today’s recipe.  I have such a simple side dish, but it’s so full of flavor!

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

I had left over tomatoes and my idea was large sliced tomatoes, but when I grabbed a tomato, they were starting to get a little to icky to eat!  Yucky!!  So I grabbed my grape tomatoes, and decided to make the dish a little different!  Either large sliced tomatoes or little ones this is a fantastic dish and goes great on top of bread.

Oven Roasted Tomatoes


All I did was take grape tomatoes, sliced them in half, added a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and basil and a dash of Parmesan Cheese.  Bake for 10 minutes until the tomatoes are soft, not split.  I topped these little guys with some Balsamic Glaze that I bought from Trader Joe’s.  You can use balsamic vinegar or even a balsamic dressing.  Oh so good!  I love tomatoes with basil and balsamic!  It’s a summer dish, but I think it’s good anytime of the year!  Their is something about the flavor when you roast a tomato, it’s so robust and juicy!  Mmmmm, I love it!!!  I served them as a side dish with my grilled filet mignon.

Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Here is this weeks weekly recap:

Sunday:  Pineapple Square Bars  – This is an indulgent treat that I made for my Husband.  It’s simply amazing and so old school!  I love this recipe!  I didn’t healthify it because it wasn’t the thing to do!  This is my Husbands Mom’s recipe and in respect to her and her family I didn’t make any modifications.

pineapple bars

Monday:  Birthday Cake Cashew Butter  – This is such a fun nut butter and would be great to give to a nut butter fan on their birthday!  I have been enjoying spooning it daily!  It’s sweet and really does taste like cake batter, but a little more healthier!  🙂

Cashew Cake Batter

Tuesday:  Loaded Potato Skins – Oh my gosh these are so good!  Crazy good!  These ended up being our dinner last Sunday!  I was making them for an appetizer, while my Husband watched the big game, but we ended up eating them all and we were just to full for dinner!  Such a great appetizer and low-calorie too!!

Loaded Potato Skins

Wednesday:  Individual Baked Oatmeal Cups – I love these!  I have had one for breakfast everyday this week!  I served it with a side of Greek Yogurt!  So perfect and healthy!!  I love that you can top them anyway you like!!  My favorite is the pomegranate and chocolate!!  I have had a major sweet tooth lately, so be prepared!!

Individual Oatmeal Cups

Thursday:  National Peanut Butter Day and a KIND Giveaway! – No recipe this day but a wonderful giveaway!  Thank you for telling me about the Groupon!  Sure enough I got the offer the next day!  I bought two and ordered the 6 packs of granola!  You know I need to feed that granola addiction of mine. It’s funny but Friday night my Husband said he took some of my granola bars to work.  I said granola bars?  He said ya these, and they were my KIND Bars.  He said he loved them. He took four out of the eight that I have!  I’m glad he liked them, which surprised me because he doesn’t like those kind of bars!  Now I need to order more for him!  So don’t forget to enter my giveaway.  Today is the last day!

KIND Healthy Snacks

Friday:  Snickerdoodle Scones – These scones are amazing and just under 100 calories.  I was really surprised, but my co-workers loved them!  I brought them out in the morning and they were gone by 10am.  I’m really proud of the modifications I made in them to healthify them.  I will be sure to make them again!  My one friend said they would be really good with apples in them!  I thought what a fantastic idea!  I think I’ll take her advice and make them again that way!!  Thanks Nicole!

Snickerdoodles Scones

Saturday:  BBQ Pork Wontons – I have to apologize if that post seemed confusing.  My Husband read it pror to me posting and he said it sounded fine.  It was one of those days where my head was all over the place.  The wontons are a great use for left over BBQ Pork!  I am telling you they taste so good with the mango salsa on top!  Perfect for the Super Bowl or just as a nice appetizer

BBQ Pork Wonton's

Well that’s it for this week!   Wow, my recipes have been all over the place.  My goal for this year is to use what I have!  I have been spending so much on groceries that I decided I can’t let good food go to waste!  I think I need to do some better planning!  🙂  So with that your getting odds and end recipes!

Have a great Sunday!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is:  Black Bean Brownies!  These are crazy good!! I can’t get over how good they are!!!  I loved telling people after they had one that they were made with black beans!  I laugh and laugh!!  he he  Try it, it may surprise you!  Believe me I was skeptical, but I love them and so does my chocolate fanatic family!

    This exact thing happened to me once, I asked my hairdresser to dye my hair brown, and it came out BLACK! There was nothing we could do 🙁 I am sure your hair looks great, its always nice to change things up now and then! I am still so excited to make those cute oatmeal cups one of these days…

      Oh, my hair doesn’t look good! I made another appointment on Tuesday. She thought I wanted Ambre style, which is one color on the bottom and one on top. My hair is all brown and the last 3″ or so are blonde. Not cool!! I asked for a few streaks of blonde, and I don’t like it!! I am hoping she can do something. Wow, black hair! At least with browns and blacks they lighten up. 🙂

    and p.s. how does she get from sun beachy blond to brown?! Girl I have had that happen and it’s the worst! It’s not like you can just change it the next day. It’s a gradual phase out/phase in. So sorry. Ugh. Seriously, that is awful. Been there.

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

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!
