Yum Yum Wednesday – Grilled Cheesy Jalapeno Peppers and Recipe Flops

April 9, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I thought it would be fun to share with you recipes that I made that I felt were not blog worthy.  Either the picture didn’t turn out or they were a complete bust!!  Even the best of us end up with a flop or two or three….

Here is the first one for Butternut Squash Pizza.  I love this pizza, it’s made with pureed butternut squash, apples and onions, baked on a tortilla shell.  I have eaten this a bazillion times, but I just couldn’t get a good picture, but maybe one day I will?

Butternut Squash Pizza
This one is for Acai Blueberry Quinoa Cookies. I didn’t like the taste of the cookies, they just didn’t taste right. I felt they were most definitely not blog worthy.

Greek Breakfast Bake – This recipe had good intentions and tasted amazing, but I couldn’t get a good shot. I don’t know what was up with my eyes, but I couldn’t get a straight picture if I tried. I will have to make this again!
Greek Egg Bake

Baked Blueberry Pancakes – Oh man was this a flop! It tasted fair, not great and certainly not worthy of sharing with you. As you can see the pancake never puffed up at all. I wonder if I forgot the baking soda?

Vanilla Protein Blueberry Muffins  – I don’t know what the heck happened in these muffins, but I swear the top was going to explode!   They look like alien tops!
Vanilla Protein Blueberry Muffins
Here is a funny picture. Look at the tops!

Snickerway Smoothie – This is one smoothie that didn’t make the cut at all. It was really too sweet and gave me a tummy ache. I think from using too much caramel extract. Way to over powering. Plus the pictures did not turn out at all. The lighting was way off!
Snickerway Smoothie
Vegetarian Taco Filling, this tasted pretty good and I did eat it all, but the pictures were off and so bright, plus it came out a tad watery. I’ll re-make this again for sure, with a lot of modifications.

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Granola. This recipe was not intentional. I tried to make a healthy Rice Krispie treats and didn’t have enough ingredients and it turned out more like granola. Oh trust me, it tasted great, but not healthy, nor did the pictures turn out blog worthy.
Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat Granola
Roasted Butternut Squash and Cranberry Quinoa. This tasted amazing! I however took the pictures at the wrong time of the day and it turned out crappy. I ate this all week in a tortilla shell. I love dishes like this and I was sad when the pictures were not good.

Here is my Left Over Cranberry Sauce Bread – I had good intentions when making this bread. I thought it would be great for a what to do with Thanksgiving Leftovers. It tasted pretty good, but the color turned out blue. I have no idea how, considering I didn’t have anything blue in the recipe and even used all purpose flour.
Cranberry Sauce Quick Bread


The color doesn’t look to blue here, until I cut it open. I thought it was my eyes when I took the photos, but then I looked at a piece and sure enough it was blue in color. I didn’t want you Guys to make it and come back and tell me my bread is blue, it just seems to weird!
Cranberry Sauce Quick Bread
Re-Fried Beans – I didn’t like the taste of these at all. My Husband and I went out to a Mexican restuarant and he ordered re-fried beans with his dinner. I never order them, but he said have a taste and I did. It tasted amazing! I loved it! I tried to re-create it and even though they look ok, mine did not taste very good! It didn’t have the restaurant taste to them that I was looking for. Needless to say we didn’t eat these.
Refried Beans
I know I have more recipes, but these are the only ones I put in my DO NOT USE file. It’s fun to go through them and share with you my not so great recipes. After all we are not perfect and I get quite a few flops weekly and usually post them on Instagram! It keeps me motivated to try again!! That is one of the reasons, I do recipe re-makes. The recipes are good, but the photos could use some work. I am trying harder for better photography this year. I got a new camera, but for the life of me, I don’t know how to use it. Eck!!  I really need to read the manual!

Do you ever have recipe flops??

Ok, now that you saw a flop, let me share with you a YUM, YUM  Wednesday Recipe!!  How about Grilled Cheesy Jalapeno Peppers!  I remember the day I made these peppers!  One thing you may not know about me, but hot spicy peppers, that I LOVE, well I am allergic to them.  I can eat them, but I can’t breathe near them .  When I cut hot peppers, it actually cuts the air from my throat.  I still cut them, but I run cold water near me, turn my head, hold the peppers with a wet cloth and cut as fast as I can and then run outside to gasp for air.  It sounds dramatic, but really it kind of is.  Anyway from recipes over the years, you know nothing stops me from my precious spicy peppers.   But enough about my pepper drama, these Grilled Cheesy Jalapeno Peppers are amazing!  AMAZING!!!!!!!!  They are loaded with cooked chicken, cream cheese and Monterrey Jack Cheese.  It so creamy, slightly spicy and just darn good!  The photos need some work, but I made these back in 2012 and I can guarantee I will be re-making them again, so I will take new photos!  You can get the recipe here!

Grilled Cheesy Jalapeno Peppers

That’s it for me today! Please do share your recipe flops with me! I would love to hear your stories!!

Have a wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    My absolute worst flop was when I ran out of propane while cooking Thanksgiving dinner! Not the recipe’s fault, but since then I always check the level of the tank when preparing to cook any special meal!

      Oh no! That is horrible! I had the same thing happen during a BBQ, but not a holiday!! it’s so annoying when those kind of things happen!! I bet the rest of your Thanksgiving dinner still turned out!

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?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
