Pots de Creme

June 10, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a special treat for chocolate lovers.   I made for you a french dessert which is a custard that has been dated back to the 17th century.  The dessert means a pot of custard or a pot of creme and who doesn’t like a pot of creme?   And let me tell you this is extreme chocolate! EXTREME!  It is simply amazing dessert and a little bit goes along way, trust me.   Don’t make big portions because it is so rich and creamy that honestly you only need a little.  I served mine in mini appetizer glasses.
Pots de Creme
I made my chocolate custard with rich dark chocolate, which is actually Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Pounder Bar and to give it a pinch of different flavor I added orange extract. I love orange and chocolate together. Fantastic combination. To make it super creamy, I used pure whipping cream and just a pinch of sugar. As for the egg that is in it, I used Davidson’s Safe Eggs, wish is a pasteurized egg.  I topped my dessert with a dollop of whip cream and a dried orange that I also bought at Trader Joe’s.

So your probably thinking, Jen this is not healthy. Well your right, kind of. My first thought is that it’s a treat! Second thought is dark chocolate is full of antioxidants, eggs and cream have protein, and yes some fat. But this is a special dessert and would be wonderful for a dinner party. To boot it is so easy to make. I just added everything in my blender and poured into my glasses, chilled for 2 hours and serve. I highly, highly recommend it for that special occasion.

I have to say I am pretty proud of myself with this one and it was a hit with everyone. I took two to work to give to two of my co-workers and I got a “OH MY GOSH” this is amazing! It’s not what you expect, but better. At home it was a hit at too. So if you’re a chocolate lover, make this dessert, you won’t be disappointed at all! It’s almost like fudge!

Have a wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🌷
I decorated it with items that I use on a regular basis in my kitchen, plus pretty little items. Oh and that cute cement pear also came in the March decor box.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. I didn Happy Monday!  Hope you had a nice weekend. I didn’t do a heck of a lot. It was kind of relaxing. I binge watched Friends and watched the movie Fools Gold with Kate Hudson and Mathew McConaughey.
🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.
🌸
This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.
🌷
Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.
🌷
The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.
🐦
How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.
