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.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!
💗
Hope you have a wonderful day! I’ll be working on the living room today.

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!

Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great start to the month. I received the cutest fragrance package from @myclaireburke. I couldn’t wait to add these wonderful fragrances to my home.
🍎
The scent I received is Apple Jack & Peel. It’s fresh apples with cinnamon and a hint of citrus. It smells like fall. Reminds me of when we go to Apple Hill to go apple picking, which we will be doing next week.
🍎
The scent is warm and cozy and the candle and potpourri is so pretty. Not only do these look so pretty in my home, but they would make such a wonderful housewarming gift. I wish you could smell them.
🍎
If you are looking for Fall and Winter scented fragrances. I highly recommend checking out @myclaireburke
🍎
Have a great day!

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.
