Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

January 27, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

“Whoever said salads are boring hasn’t used @CrispCooking tools. They make it fun to add seasonal ingredients and keep your New Year’s resolution on track. #createwithcrisp”

Hi Everyone,

To continue with my healthy living and my “Me” week, I decided to make myself a healthy, feel good salad just for me.  It is so perfect for lunch or dinner.  It’s light, refreshing, full of flavor and a breeze to make.  Let me share with you my Green Protein Salad.

Green Protein Salad “Whoever said salads are boring hasn’t used @CrispCooking tools. They make it fun to add seasonal ingredients and keep your New Year’s resolution on track. #createwithcrisp”

My salad is chock full of goodness!  It has romaine lettuce, spinach, edamame beans, cucumber, avocado and a big dollop of jalapeno hummus.  Of course you could use any kind of hummus you like for the salad, but I just love my jalapeno flavored hummus.  I made this salad because I was in need of something healthy and nutritious and I am really trying to be better this year. So far so good!


Green Protein Salad “Whoever said salads are boring hasn’t used @CrispCooking tools. They make it fun to add seasonal ingredients and keep your New Year’s resolution on track. #createwithcrisp

To make it fun to make, I used my new prep tools from Crisp Cooking.  For the lettuce I used my new Lettuce Knife  The Lettuce Knife is designed with a 7 in. blade that will accommodate even large heads and bunches of greens and lettuce. It is also a perfect cutting tool for slicing soft produce items such as tomatoes, mushrooms or strawberries. I simply love it and it cleans easy too!

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

For the cucumbers I peeled my cucumber with my Serrated Peeler which makes for a nice, clean peel.  I have admit this is my favorite peeler ever!  You don’t need a lot of pressure to peel your vegetables, plus it gives it a nice edge.  You can also use it on soft vegetables like tomatoes.  It peels like a dream. I love it!

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

Of course when your making a salad a Straight Pairing Knife for cutting your vegetables. I love this knife.  I use it all of the time.  I keep it right on my counter for easy grabbing.  It cuts everything perfect and without effort.

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

It is so much fun making a nice healthy salad when you have fun cooking tools.  I even have a set of nice Salad Tongs, but I didn’t use them for this recipe.  I normally don’t use tongs, unless I am serving a big group.  It’s normally just my Husband and  I, oh and in case you’re wondering, he did not have any of my salad. His words were, it’s to healthy for me.  lol

Green Protein Salad #createwithcrisp

To keep my salad nice and fresh I squirted it with some fresh lemon.  It compliments the flavors of the vegetables perfectly.  Oh and in my recipe I added scallions, but after I revamped my recipe and I was eating my salad, I realized I forgot the scallions.  The salad was good without them, but it would add a nice twist of flavor.

Hello Tuesday! We’ve had some nice weather this Hello Tuesday!  We’ve had some nice weather this week. It must have hit 70 yesterday. I’ll enjoy it while I can. Next week it’s supposed to back in the 50’s with chance of rain. Well at least I won’t have to worry about watering my garden.
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my Easter tablescapes. I wanted to go simple. I feel when there’s too much on the table, you have a hard time seeing the people across from you. Plus my table is only 5’ long, so I don’t have a lot of space.
🐰
I’m loving the blues and greens. It’s such a pretty color for Spring. I had a whole blue tablescape idea in my mind, but I’m having problems finding pieces that I like. I sure miss Pier1. That was my go to place for table setting decor.
🐰
What are your favorite colors for Spring?

Happy March 1st! Can you believe 19 more days till Happy March 1st! Can you believe 19 more days till Spring and 14 more days until daylight savings. Oh the pure signs of warm weather and sunshine are coming.
🌸
I sure had a busy weekend. We had 5 yards of top soil delivered and my husband wheel barreled it all to the backyard. My new garden bed is just about ready for planting. I’m so excited!
🌸
Yesterday I worked on a bunch of photos to share this week. I must have formatted over a 100 pictures. No, I won’t be sharing that many. It’s just hard to find the right one. I’m sure you know what I mean.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos for the month of February.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for March, because I have no idea. Lol
🌸
What are you looking most forward to this month?

Happy Thursday! I’m still dabbling in different Happy Thursday! I’m still dabbling in different parts of my home. I haven’t finished one spot. I’m hoping to share my bathroom reveal next week. I just need a couple of little things, like a rug and some towels. Thank you so much for your suggestions. You put bad ideas in my head, but in a good way. Lol
🌸
I’m sharing with you my floral arrangement that I shared in a reel Monday. I just love it so much. It’s going to be the centerpiece to my Spring dining table. So it’ll make an another appearance soon. If I ever finish my table.
🌸
I also have to share with you the cute bunnies that I bought from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. I love them so much. The whitewash and flowers stole my heart. I just love bunnies. I may have gone bunny crazy this season.

Do you like to decorate with animals?

Hi Everyone! The weather is starting to warm up h Hi Everyone!  The weather is starting to warm up here and I have Spring fever!  #sponsored I’ve been working in the garden beds, planting annuals and enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
🌸
I freshened up my gorgeous patio set that I got from @rstbrands. I dressed up my table by adding some Ranunculus and a cute little bunny to a tray. Doesn’t scream Spring?
🌸
I also added some throw pillows and a cute blanket to keep you warm on a chilly evening. The Yuri 4 piece patio set is made out of certified eucalyptus wood has held up so beautifully with the heavy rains and winds.
🌸
I love the shade of blue of the cushions, it reminds me of the sunny blue skies. The cushions are also so comfortable to sit on. The best part is that the covers have zippers on them so you can take the covers off and wash them.
🌸
Spring fever is hitting me hard this year and I can’t wait to enjoy the great outdoors.
🌸
Do you get Spring fever?

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.

🐰
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?
