Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie and Las Vegas

June 11, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I just got back from a mini vacation to Las Vegas.  We went there to go to the Sammy Hagar and Emeril Lagasse Tikki BBQ Party held at the pool in the Venetian Casino.  We had a blast!  If you follow me in Instagram you would have seen some of the pictures.  I have to say the iPhone takes some great photos and videos, so I am going to share a few with you.

Sammy Hagar Sining at the Venetian

From what I have read, Sammy and Emeril are friends and they throw these kind of parties a few times a year.  I was pretty lucky we got tickets since it was a sold out event and only 1300 people were there.  Their was lots of food and boos’s but I skipped on them, since we ate prior to the show and it was so hot out, the thought of drinking would have put me over the edge!   It was a blazing 112 degrees, I wish I brought my bathing suit to the party, since people were swimming in the pool.  How cool is that to see a concert while lounging in the pool.  This was one of the most fun events I have been too.   I wanted to meet Emeril, but I didn’t get a chance, no one met him.  He was surrounded by his body guards, but he did see me.  lol  He was standing on the side of the stage watching Sammy sing and we caught eye contact.  I think my Husband was excited to see Emeril too, since he ran in the house and asked how to spell his name, he was texting his friend.  Here’s a shot I got of him.

Emeril Lagasse


Emeril did make it to the stage, he played the tambourine with Sammy.  Emeril can rock!  It made me laugh to see him like that.  Sammy said he hung out with Emeril the night before the concert and he said Emeril really knows how to party.   I find it odd that Emeril and Sammy are friends, but I think it’s cute!  I got pictures of Emeril on stage, but they turned out to be a white blob, so it wasn’t worth showing you.  I have to say Sammy seems like a down to earth person, he was funny, sang great songs and he looks great for his age!  We are hoping they have this event again next year because we had so much fun!

Sammy Hagar singing at the Veneitan Las Vegas

I did take a video of one of the songs Sammy Sang, here it is for you.  Sorry it’s not the clearest video, but it’s the only video plug-in that I could find that worked.  Enjoy….

Venetian Tiki Party

Well, I bet your ready for today’s recipe.  When I was away the one thing I missed was my peanut butter and I had the worse craving for a Chocolate Banana and PB smoothie, so I whipped one together to satisfy my sweet craving.  Actually you would be proud, while I was in Vegas, I didn’t eat any sweets, except for a few samples from the buffet, but other than that, I was really good!

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

As you can tell by the smoothie name, it’s made with a frozen banana, PB2, cocoa powder and milk.  It’s so good and creamy, thick and sweet.  I simply love this smoothie and if you like chocolate and peanut butter together, I bet you will like it too!

    Great looking smoothie and that concert sounds so fun (hot and scorching!) but so fun! I love summer concerts, being outside and just living it up! Woot! I remember your last Vegas recap – seems like just a minute ago. Time flies!

    I’ve made this twice now, even though I am not a fan of either bananas or peanut butter. But this is fabulous! The first time I used real peanut butter, this time I used PB2. The latter is easier to measure out. I did add a scoop of chocolate protein powder (Designer Whey Double Dark Chocolate) to raise the protein levels to where I wanted them. The amazing that with the protein powder, the shake does not need any sweetener. Even my husband with the significant sweet tooth was happy with it without sugar. This smoothie will be a regular in our breakfast lineup. Thank you for posting this recipe. It’s a great way to start the day with a smile. 🙂

      I love Designer Whey protein powder, I use that kind too, plus they have a white chocolate mocha that I like too! So glad you like the smoothie!!

☕️hello, hello! I’m sharing with you my Chin ☕️hello, hello! I’m sharing with you my China that my Mom gave me. As a child I always loved this set. My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.

What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
