For the Love of Chocolate

February 4, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 1 Comment

Hi Everyone,

One thing I love to indulge in are chocolate treats.  After all chocolate is so good and can be pretty good for you if you have it in moderation.  Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, has wonderful flavor, contains a little bit of fiber and a little bit of protein.  Each evening I always have a square of chocolate after dinner.  Since Valentine’s Day is coming up in less than 2 weeks, I thought I would share with you my personal favorite chocolate recipes that are pretty low-calorie and good for you to have every once in a while.  Now I am not saying go out and eat a Snickers Bar or chow down on 3 brownies, but a little bit goes a long way.

I have also teamed up with Foodie.com to share with you some chocolate treats that are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Check out Chocolate = Love

by PB and Peppers at Foodie.com


Chocolate Zucchini Beanie Brownies – These brownies are amazing and they are so moist from the zucchini and they are made with black beans.  Trust me when I tell you, know one would know they are made with black beans.  I tested this with little Jenny and she was shocked when she read my post and it said black beans.  So give them a try!
Chocolate Zucchini Beanie Brownie
Chocolate Coconut Mousse – I love this mousse! It’s made with coconut cream from the can. It’s so easy to make and oh my gosh, rich, creamy and chocolaty. Plus it’s vegan and gluten-free. You’ll love it!
Chocolate Coconut Mousse
Chocolate Cranberry Nut Candy – This is super easy to make.  It’s made with dark chocolate wafers, nuts and cranberries.  Sub the cranberries for another dried fruit.  It takes 10 minutes to make and perfect for sharing on Valentine’s Day.
Chocolate Cranberry Nut Candy
Chocolate Mocha Mini Cakes – These little cakes are a perfect complement to raspberries or strawberries and they make for a portion control dessert.
Chocolate Mocha Cake
Coconut Clusters – All I can say is yum to coconut and chocolate.  This is a great little candy and pretty easy to make.  The hardest part is dipping the coconut into the chocolate.  Easy peasy!  Plus this Sunday I have a new chocolate coconut candy to share with you. I can’t wait.
Coconut Clusters
Pots de Creme – Oh my gosh, this is a chocolate lovers dream.  I will admit it is rich and creamy and not low-calorie, but so perfect for Valentine’s Day. Plus it is no bake!
Pots de Creme
Snickerway Truffles – Ok, now you can have your Snickers Bar!  This is a healthy little truffle made with chocolate, peanut butter and caramel extract.  I need to make these again.  Maybe tonight?
Snickerway Truffles
Chocolate Cherry Jubilee Frappe – Maybe you want to share a drink with a loved one?  Double up the recipe and share.  After all chocolate and cherries go great together.

Red Velvet Pancakes – I know this isn’t an official treat, but it makes for the most romantic breakfast.  I used a heart shape cookie cutter to make a heart shape pancake.  It’s low-calorie and tastes amazing!
Red Velvet Pancakes
Chocolate Mug Cake – This is super simple, delicious and easy to make.  You can share it with a loved one or heck eat it all yourself!  We love making mug cakes in out house.  All you need is a microwave.
Chocolate Mug Cake
Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies – Oh yeah!  I love peanut butter and I love chocolate.  These are a great little cookie that is great for gift giving.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries – I don’t think a dessert can get any more romantic than chocolate covered strawberries.  Simple to make and so elegant looking.

Well that’s all I have for chocolate today, but boy am I craving a chocolate dessert.  Which one to make?

Do you have chocolate on Valentine’s Day?

Toodles,

Jennifer

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!

Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Ha Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Halloween and Fall decor in July? Have I lost my mind? Nope, I haven’t, but on Saturday @krumpetshomedecor launched their Fall and Halloween! Soooooooo many cute pieces, I’m obsessed!
🎃
It’s hard to imagine Fall in a couple of months when the temps have been in the 100’s, but it will be here soon. Time to start planning!!! 
🎃
How I styled my bar cart is just an idea. Once I pull out my Fall/Halloween bins you will see these pieces in other parts of my home. The black wooden witches books will go in my kitchen to go with my black and white kitchen that I do every Halloween. The witches broom will also go on my shelf in the kitchen as my boys 🐶🐶 have been eyeing it up. I need to keep it away from them.
🎃
The beautiful reversible art work will go in my living room, as I like to do oranges and neutrals for fall. The 3 wooden pumpkins will go on my console table. I have it all planned out in my head. I’m kind of excited, but I will enjoy summer a little while longer.
