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’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
