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.

Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken with Watermelon Salsa

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

Hello Wednesday! Let me tell you we have had some Hello Wednesday! Let me tell you we have had some strange weather here in California. It’s feeling like winter with high winds, sprinkles and cool temps. 
🍋
To add some cheer to my sliding doors to the backyard, I added my reversible porch sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I don’t see any reason why a porch sign is just for the porch? Plus I didn’t want it to get ruined outside. 
🍋
Isn’t it so cute with the raised lettering and the happy lemons. It really goes well with my decor in the living room. Plus what’s fun is when you reverse the sign it’s the patriotic flag, which is perfect for the summer holidays.
🍋
The Krumpets Home Decor porch sign is the deal if the week, plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🍋
Do you have any fun plans for the Summer?

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?
