Watermelon Salsa

July 5, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How are you on this Friday?  I am so happy to have the day off.  We were pretty lucky because we were suppose to work, but our boss was nice enough to let us have a long weekend!  Woohoo!!  I love unplanned surprises like that!   Today I have for you a simple summertime recipe that you can whip up in a matter of minutes, just takes a little bit of cutting time.

Watermelon Salsa

This is my Watermelon Salsa!   I happened to have two watermelons on the counter and I just needed to use them up, so I debated on what to make?  Hmmmm…  The night I decided to use the watermelon, I was making my Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken that I posted yesterday and I thought how can chicken and watermelon go together?  A marinade would not work out, and then I saw some tortilla chips on the counter and thought salsa!  Perfect!!  This recipe is adapted from my mango salsa with the addition of watermelon.  It turned out fantastic!!

Watermelon Salsa


The salsa is more sweet than spicy, but with the onions and jalapenos it does add a nice kick of heat.  I placed this on the table with dinner and my Husband didn’t touch it.  He likes all the ingredients, so I made him try it.  He took a small and I mean small spoonful and said wow, this is good!  He said the combination is weird, yet it all goes together.  He didn’t put it on his chicken, but used it as a side dish!  Yah!  Glad he liked it!!!  It is really a fantastic little salsa and goes perfect with chicken!  I also had some leftovers so I placed it on a bed of mixed greens and took it to lunch the next day.  It tasted just as good the next day as it did the day I made it.

Even though you don’t see it in the picture, I did serve my dinner with a side of steamed broccoli.  Nothing to fancy!  This dinner, was light, tropical and perfect for a hot summers evening.  All I needed was Skinny Margarita to go with it!  Sigh…. Darn, why didn’t I think of that then?   I always get my best ideas when I’m writing!

Watermelon Salsa

This recipes is completely guilt-free and goes perfect with chicken, shrimp or topping on tacos!  Or simply dip some tortilla chips in it or have like my Husband did, as a side dish.  I am looking at my counter right now and I have lots more fruits to use.  I’m wondering if I can come up with another kind of salsa.  I really love salsa and I am never out of it!  You should see my fridge!  I have about three different kind of salsas from Trader Joe’s and I have some from MiPuablos Mexican Market, plus my homemade stuff.  I use it not only for topping on chicken, but works great as substitute for salad dressing, that adds a lot of flavor and not a lot of calories!

Well have a super great weekend!  Tomorrow I have my first Major League Baseball game to go to and I can’t wait.  It’s the San Francisco Giants against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  I’m not much of a baseball fan, but I do love the excitement of a good game!  Plus, it’s going to be my cheat meal this week, because I need to share some ball park nachos with my Husband!  I know I’m being bad!!   But it’s a baseball game and I have to have nachos at a game!!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening.

The potpourri has gold and red accents in it. There are large and baby pinecones with white snow on them, and pinecones dipped in gold. This is the perfect potpourri for the season.

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.

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!

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!!
