Baton Rouge Round Up / Weekly Recap

September 7, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Well this is it, I’m officially sad!  This is my last post about my trip to Baton Rouge.  I thought I would give you a round-up this weeks eats, introduce you to my fellow bloggers that I joined on this trip and give some web links to the places I ate, stayed and saw.  So let me first introduce to you the group of bloggers that I joined on my mini weekend getaway to Baton Rouge.  I snagged this picture from Theresa from The Food Hunters Guide to Cuisine.

Batton Rouge Bloggers

From the top Paul, Susan, Me, Christy, Katie, my Mom Linda, Theresa, David, Lisa, Lisa’s Boyfriend, Lindsay and her friend and in the front Caroline.

Susan from 30AEats

David Bodle from Leisure Group Travel

Lisa from Eat.Drink.Travel. Magazine

Lindsay from The Traveluster

Caroline from This is my South

Of course I have to introduce you to the two lovely ladies that took us all around town; Christy and Katie!

Christy and Katie are just the two sweetest girls.  They really know their town and you can tell that they are just so proud of it!!  They both have wonderful personalities and really made this trip fun!! If you plan a visit to Baton Rouge contact these girls, I promise they will take good, no make that great care of you!!! I plan on catching up with them again when I come back to Baton Rouge and believe me there will be another trip! Christy is the the lovely lady on the left and Katie, who just had a baby and looks fabulous is on the right.

Christy and Katie

The events:

Fete Rouge – Next year’s event date is set for August 21 – 22, 2014 at the Crown Plaza Hotel.  The event is fabulous, if you’re in the area you must go!

Fete Rouge

Louie’s Cafe – I love this restaurant, great diner food, open 24 hours and the pancakes and omelets are to die for!!

Louies Cafe

Red Sticks Farmers Market – It’s open Monday – Friday and I think they are open all year round.  It’s a must go to, to find local produce, pies, honey and more!!

Red Stick Farmers Market

Tony’s Seafood Market and Deli  – Love, Love, Love Tony’s!  This is where I tried catfish for the first time and I just love it!  So good!  Catch lunch at Toni’s and see if Steve can give you a tour.  It’s so much fun!!

Tony's Fish Market

Tin Roof Brewery – Fantastic tour, fantastic beer! If you like hand crafted beer with a Southern charm, check out Tin Roof!!

Tin Roof Beer Brewing Company

White Oak Plantation – Lush gardens, large lakes and just a simply beautiful place to visit.
White Oak Plantation

Doe's Eat Place

Now for this weeks weekly recap:

Monday:  Banana Cream Pie Smoothie – So darn good!!   I promise if you like banana cream pie, you will love this drink and much as I do!!

Banana Cream Pie Smoothie

Tuesday:  Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pies –  I have to laugh, my Husband told me, the pies you made taste funny.  I said really they didn’t defrost right?  No that was fine, they tasted like squash and he gave me a dirty look!  Ha ha  He actually loved the mini pies, but HATES sweet potato!  I told him it was pumpkin when I gave them to him.  He read my blog when he discovered he ate sweet potatoes.  I knew I would get him to eat Sweet Potatoes one day.  By the way, I froze these mini pies and my Husband said he left them out on the counter at work and they defrosted very nicely.  Which is good to know for future pie making!

Mini Sweet Potato Hand Pie

Wednesday: Grilled Cajun Shrimp with Red Beans and Rice – I loved this dish!  It’s very filling.  I had leftovers and took them to lunch, even better the next day.  I ate the shrimp cold and it was still just as good!!

Cajun Grilled Shrimp

Thursday: Jambalaya and Corn Bread – Love this dish and it’s another one that tastes fantastic the next day!! The Jambalaya is hearty, full of flavor, super thick, low-calorie and is a reader and family favorite too!!

Jambalya and Corn Bread

Friday: Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Pancakes with Bourbon infused Maple Syrup – All I have to say is OMG! This is one of the BEST pancakes I have ever made! So moist, that it really tastes like pie and it’s low calorie!! You must make these pancakes!!!  Make them this weekend!!!

I guess that sums it up for this weeks post. I know I promised a sweet treat for today, but my sweet treat didn’t turn out. I tried to make pralines and they burnt. I always burn my food that has to be made with a candy thermometer. I am so buying a new one this weekend!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post as I did reliving my 2 day weekend in Baton Rouge. I really did have a blast! I never would have thought, let’s go to Louisiana for vacation, but this trip changed my mind. I am hoping to make it back there this coming spring. There is so much more I want to see, plus I want to try a Po Boy Sandwich!  Great excuse for me to go back!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  The winner of the Louisiana Giveaway is Shelly.  I sent you an e-mail.  Please contact me within 48 hours.

Your Winner (confirmed)

Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebeddin Happy Thursday! Let me tell you if @downlitebedding is looking for a spokes dog, Samuel wants the job! I kid you not, he is obsessed with everything Downlite Bedding! He even has his own comforter that he sleeps on every night! 
🐾
I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
