Quinoa and Pineapple Salsa

January 30, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Howdy!

Sorry for all the rush rush posts, but life has been crazy busy for me, between doctor appointments and hair appointments,  I just don’t seem to have so much time.  I’m hoping that things settle down after my trip to Vegas next week!  Woohoo!  Yup I’m going to Vegas!  It’s little Jenny’s 21st birthday and when she was 11 I told her when she turns 21 I’d take her to Vegas, and guess what?  She remembers that.  I always keep my promise, so it will just be her and I hitting the Las Vegas Strip.  Ohhh, it’s going to be fun!  But for fun right now I have a light, tropical quinoa salad for you.

Pineapple and Quinoa Salad

I made this Sunday when I made my weekly batch of quinoa.  I originally was planning to make it with Mango Salsa, but my mango went bad!  That is so sad when I waste food, so what is a girl to do?  Grab some pineapple and use that instead!  This dish is simply wonderful!  As I said before it’s a nice light tropical dish that is sure to brighten your day!

Pineapple and Quinoa Salad


It’s made with basic quinoa, then I added my pineapple salsa.  The salsa is so sweet with a kick of heat from the jalapeno and onion.  Yum!  It also has some sweet bell pepper and orange and lime juice.  It’s simply a perfect salsa  that is also great on chicken or dipping into chips!!  I love my salsa!!

Pineapple and Quinoa Salad

If your planning on eating it all in a sitting, not by yourself of course, then mix it all together.  But if your like me, who is having this in your lunch, leave the salsa and quinoa separate and mix it when your ready to use, otherwise it make get soggy and no one wants soggy quinoa!!  Yucky!

    This sounds super tasty! For some reason, I’ve only REALLY liked quinoa when there’s something a little sweet with it.

💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
