Fun Saturday Part Deux / Weekly Recap

March 2, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Good morning my Peeps,

I have a question.  What does a girl do when she wants ice cream now, and doesn’t have any in the house?  Not just ordinary ice cream, but one served in a crispy cup sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.  Sounds kind of fattening, but it is what I want and I need it now!!!  Everyone knows not to mess with me when it comes to food!!  So to please myself and to make everyone happy around me, I made my own sweet ice cream and cup!!!

Strawberry Ice Cream in a Cinnamon and Sugar Cup

Man, oh man!  I hit the jackpot with this one! This little dessert exceeded my expectations!  It’s sweet, creamy and the hint of cinnamon on the strawberry ice cream is amazing!!  I think I just found my newest addiction!!!

Strawberry Ice Cream in a Cinnamon and Sugar Cup


The cups to make are soooo easy!!  All I did was take a Mission Carb Balance Flour Tortilla, in medium size, brush it with water, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and placed it in a greased ramekin.  I popped it in the broiler for about 5 minutes until the top got nice and crispy.  Here are the 3 simple steps and the last picture in the corner is the done tortilla cup.

Making a cinnamon and sugar tortilla cup

When the tortilla cup was cooling, I made my ice cream.  All it is, is frozen strawberries and milk to make it creamy.  Coconut milk would be great to use too.  I blended it in my blender, but I have made this in a food processor too, until it was the consistency I wanted.  You may have to add more or less milk.  I would start with a tablespoon of milk and then go from there.  It only took about 2 minutes to blend.  Here it is in the blender and then in the cup!!

Strawberry Ice Cream

That’s a lot of ice cream and I hate to say it, but I didn’t plan to, but I ate it all!  For photo reason I scooped out some of the ice cream.  You can also add a banana, chocolate  peanut butter, sugar or whatever you like to it to give the ice cream more flavor.  For me, I added a few drops of NuNaturals Liquid Vanilla Stevia.  But regular vanilla extract and sugar will work!!

Strawberry Ice Cream in a Cinnamon and Sugar Cup

These cups are just adorable and I’m really proud how they turned out.  They would be great to put yogurt and berries in or even a chocolate mousse.  This is one treat that I know my family will love.  To bad they weren’t home to get any!  It’s mine all mine!!!

Strawberry Ice Cream in a Cinnamon and Sugar Cup

I’m thinking I’m going to have this again tomorrow.  I better hit Target up for some more tortilla shells.  Out of all the flour tortilla shells, the mission carb balance are my favorite.  Pretty healthy too!   Low calorie, lots of fiber and protein.  You can’t go wrong.  What kind of things would you put in a cinnamon and sugar tortilla cup?

Here are some fun links I found this week!

Do onions make you cry?  They do me and it’s bad too!!  My Husband, if he’s home always cuts the onions.  Here are some ways from Huffington Post that may put a stop to all those tears!

Here’s a nice 18 minute cardio and strength training by Jackie Warner.  I love quick workouts and I know Jackie’s workouts do work.  I have most of here DVD’s and I always feel great when I’m done.  Here’s the link from Fitness Magazine if your interested.

If your not into the circuit training cardio, like from Jackie Warner above, here is a walking blast fat workout out from Health Magazine.  Walking is what kick started my weight loss and I lost 10 pounds the first month doing it and I only walked a smidge over a mile a day.  If you have 20 minutes, go for a walk.  Here’s the workout from Health Magazine.

Now for this weeks weekly recap:

Sunday:  Lobster Bisque for Two #SundaySupper – This is a great soup and so fast to make.  I did feel rich having it, since I maybe get lobster once a year.  I’m sad to say, I don’t think Trader Joe’s carries lobster tails anymore.

Lobster Bisque

Monday:  Chocolate Mocha Muffins – I loved these muffins.  They really did a great job hitting that sweet tooth and I must admit, I had one this week, as you can tell from my recipes.  Hey, it’s all good and in moderation!!  But these muffins are moist, chocolaty and healthy too!!!

Chocolate Mocha Muffins 042a

Tuesday:  Chocolate Mocha Mudslide Frappe – I love my latest frappe!  I had it a few times this week and I even added peanut butter to it!  It’s filling and oh so good!  Loving chocolate, banana, coffee and peanut butter together!  Yum!!

Chocolate Mudslide Frappe

Wednesday:  Chocolate Covered Almonds -I made these babies for my Husband, but I’ll admit I had my fair share of them.  They are so good and so easy to make!  I love that it only takes a few minutes to make them!  They also would make a great gift, especially for Easter time.

Chocolate Covered Almonds

Thursday – Cucumber and Tomato Lentil Salad – This is so perfect for lunches this week.  I ate it almost everyday and even spooned some onto my salad.  It’s super fast to make too!!

Cucumber and Tomato Lentil Salad

Friday:  Peanut Butter, Banana and Strawberry Bread – This bread is amazing!  it’s super moist and that first bite you taste is peanut butter!  Perfectly healthy and perfect for celebrating National Peanut Butter Lovers Day!

Well that’s it for this week!  I am off to Target and I still need to make something for dinner!  Have a great weekend and get out there and enjoy it!  So glad we are into March!!!  Woohoo!  Spring is right around the corner!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is Barbecue Chicken Salad.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🎃 
What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
