My Favorite Recipes of 2013

December 13, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Hi Everyone!

I thought today I would share with you a post of my personal favorite recipes of 2013!  Now these recipes are all me!!  These are recipes that I made just for me, not for my family or my friends.  So let’s get going with the first recipe.

My Favorite Healthy Recipes of 2013

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites – Now I LOVE these little treats and even though I made them for me, they were a HUGE hit at work.  They are so simple and pretty low calorie for a treat!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites


Oatmeal Pumpkin Breakfast Smoothie – This is such a filling and wonderful breakfast and makes great use for leftover pumpkin!

Oatmeal Pumpkin Breakfast Smoothie
Debloating Smoothie – This smoothie makes me feel good and it’s so healthy for you! Plus it really fills you up! I just love it!
Debloating Smoothie
Creamy Butternut Squash Soup – I love Butternut Squash and I could eat it everyday. I made a big batch of this soup and had it for dinner and lunches throughout the week. I love that it is low calorie and doesn’t contain cream, considering it’s so thick and creamy!
Creamy Butternut Squash Soup (Vegan)
Mexican Fiesta Salad – I could eat this everyday and never get sick of it! I love Mexican food!! The flavors are just amazing and if I can have a touch of heat, I’m in!!

Fall Harvest Butternut Squash and Chicken Salad with Maple Dressing – Oh my gosh, so many flavors in this salad. I really love the maple dressing! It gives it a wonderful Fall flavor.

Baked Acorn Squash with Apple Sausage Stuffing – I love this meal! It’s like having Thanksgiving in my squash! It’s loaded with flavor and tastes just amazing! It’s very filling too!

Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad – This salad has it going on! The flavors are amazing and I love how chopped everythign is. It’s great as a meal or as a side dish!
Grilled Mexican Corn and Avocado Salad
Lentil Enchiladas – As you can see I kind have a think for Mexican style foods. I love these lentils and even my husband who doesn’t like lentils loved this dish. You don’t miss the meat in it!
Lentil Enchiladas
Sweet Potato Pie Pancakes with Bourbon Maple Syrup– Oh baby! I am loving these pancakes! Lots of flavor, healthy and the bourbon syrup over the top! Yes please!
Sweet Potato Pie Pancakes with Bourbon Maple Syrup
Caramelized Apples in the Crockpot – I love this dessert! I had it with ice cream, on my oatmeal, in my yogurt and just plain by its self. So good and so easy!

Peanut Butter Cookie Hummus – Let’s just say this dip is friggen addicting! It is crazy good! Crazy good! I LOVE it! Enough said!
Peanut Butter Cookie Hummus
Mediterranean Grilled Chicken – This is a lovely chicken dish loaded with lots and lots of flavor. I find it a nice refreshing dish and oddly enough my Husband enjoyed it too!

Skinny Lime Margarita – I love everything about this drink! It’s refreshing, light and low calorie and perfect for a hot summer night! Ohhh, summer, how I miss you!
Skinny Lime Margarita
Blueberry Coffeecake – I love this little cake. It’s super easy to make, loaded with blueberries and not overly sweet. This would actually make for a nice little breakfast pastry to go with your coffee.
Blueberry Coffee Cake
Chocolate Covered Strawberries – I swear I could have eaten the whole batch! Strawberries are by far my favorite fruit to eat! I love to toast a piece of bread, add some peanut butter and top with fresh strawberries! Yum!!
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Jalapeno and Artichoke Hummus – Love my hummus and this one makes for a great snack with some zip!! I love it with celery, carrots and pretzels! Yum!
Pickled Jalapeno and Artichoke Hummus

My Sound of Music lyrics.

When the dog barks
When the man sings (yells)
When your feeling sad…
Just whip up a few of your favorite dishes and next time you won’t feel so bad!

Total geek I know, but for some reason that song is stuck in my head!

If your interested in a few more of my favorite dishes, check out the widget below! I have a kaboodle amounts of my favorite dishes of 2013!

Have a wonderful weekend! I’m off to the Boss’s Christmas party!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.
💕

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.
