Yum Yum Wednesday – Banana Cream Pie Smoothie

February 26, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 3 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Yum, Yum Wednesday!  Today I have for you one of my favorite dessert smoothies.  This is my Banana Cream Pie Smoothie.  It is simply amazing and makes for a wonderful after dinner drink!  Well, ok you can have it anytime of the day!  It is just so good!! I was inspired to make this smoothie when I went to Baton Rouge last summer!  One of the best trips I ever took.  I saw banana cream pie desserts everywhere, so I thought why not a smoothie?  You know how I like a good smoothie!  Think I’ll make this tonight!  🙂  You can get the recipe here!

Banana Cream Pie Smoothie
You know I can’t get out of Yum Yum Wednesday without some product reviews. Here are a few new things I have tried this past month.

First up isn’t really new as a products but it is new as a size. Justin’s Nut Butter now comes in single 1 tablespoon size packets, which are only 80 calories!  This is so perfect for packing in lunches or snack time.  I don’t know if you Guys are like me, but peanut butter is a weakness and I can seriously down more than a tablespoon, so I am happy for these smaller size packets!

Justins new 80 Calorie Pack PB
Next up is Pasta Chips! These chips are quite different then your traditional potato chip or cracker. It really tastes like Pasta. Pasta Chips are made with semolina flour and Italian herbs, which give it the pasta taste. One ounce serving is around 120 calories. I took these to work and it seems everyone’s favorite was the Marinara. It was like having a little bite of crunchy pasta. Pasta Chips have some fun recipes on their website that you can use them in Skillet Bruschetta and Italian Nachos! My Husband took a bag of these to work and he enjoyed them for a different taste then just potato chips. You can find Pasta Chips at Target, Safeway, Cost Plus World Market and more. You can check them out here.  Oh and I loved the Alfredo flavor!
Pasta Chips
These are Eatrageous Chips! These little chips were quite impressive. They are Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free and mighty delicious. I was quite impressed. They have Crunchy Mac & Cheese, Sea Salt, Sweet & Smokey BBQ and Wasabi Ranch. A bag of chips is only a 100 calories! They are crunchy, and really good. My favorite is the Sea Salt and my one co-worker LOVED the wasabi ranch and the other one that was a huge hit was the Mac & Cheese. I can’t get over that it really tasted like macaroni and cheese. It’s crazy!! You can check out the store locator to see if they are sold near you or you can buy them online! I have to say, I was really surprised on how good these were!  Here is the link.
Eatrageous Chips
Next up are Cosmos Creations. These are little bits of puffed corn. They are all gluten-free, trans-fat free, Kosher Dairy Certified, have no kernels or hulls and are made with non-GMO corn. They come in Coconut Crunch, Aged Cheddar & Cracked Pepper, Cinnamon Crunch, Salted Caramel, Caramel and Sea Salt & Butter. They are so good! My favorite is the Aged Cheddar and the Cinnamon Crunch, but oh the salted caramel is amazing too. They are light, airy and have a wonderful flavor! These little snacks are fairly low on the calorie scale too!!  I really enjoyed these little puffed treats and I don’t feel guilty eating them!  My co-workers loved them too and it seems the Sea Salt & Butter was the big hit in the office.  You can find them at your local grocer or you can check them out online here.
Cosmos
Last, but not least the most unique ice cream I have ever had. Magnolias All Natural Milk Bars and Ice Cream. Let me tell you, I really, really never had ice cream like this. They have crazy flavors like Mango, Coconut, Lychee, Thai Tea, Avocado and Purple Yam. Yes Avocado and Purple Yam flavors! That’s just the ice cream. They also have milk bars that come in Azuki Red Bean, Halo Halo, Purple Yam & Red Bean, Coconut, and Mango. Magnolia Ice Cream was very generous when they sent me samples to my work and boy did my co-workers have a hey day trying out the ice cream. We first opened the Avocado and yup, it tasted just like avocado. It is creamy, all natural and darn good!! The Thai Tea tastes just like Chai Tea. The Purple Yam, kind has a pistachio taste to it. I can’t really put my finger on it, but I like it. The Lychee has a strong fruit and floral taste to it. But I have to say my favorite is the Coconut and the Thai Tea. I actually really like the Thai Tea which is kind of surprising because I’m not a Chai Tea kind of girl.
Magnolias All Natural Milk Bars
Magnolia Ice Cream has been made in Northern California for over 40-years. They are currently available across the country in metropolitan areas, sold at Whole Foods, Walgreens, Safeway, Bristol Farms, H.E.B. Morton Williams, Gourmet Garage, Market Street, Kings, Balduccis, and Stinky Brooklyn to name a few. With all the great unique flavors they have I am sure they will be working their way across America. You can check out all of their fun flavors and store locator here.

Well my Friends that’s it for another Yum, Yum Wednesday! I have to say I am enjoying writing these posts. I just need to get out there and try new things. I have a few Trader Joe items I want to try out this week!


Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  Since my blog was down for more than half the day, I thought I would share with you my Blueberry Loaf Cake Recipe, in case you missed it and let me tell you, it is sooooooooo good!  You can get the recipe here.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🎃 
What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
