Greek Orzo Pasta Salad #createwithcrisp

March 30, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

The weather is getting warmer and it’s time to bring on the spring and summer pasta salads.  Today I took one of my favorite combinations and put them together, in a light, healthy, low-calorie pasta salad.  This is one of those recipes I have been wanting to make.  It is my Greek Orzo Pasta Salad.
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad #createwithcrisp The salad is made with cucumbers, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, banana peppers, fresh herbs and of course orzo pasta. This makes for an easy side dish, a perfect salad for a party or great for lunches. I seasoned the salad with just a bit of olive oil and lemon juice. I went simple on the ingredients because I wanted to taste the flavor of my vegetables and herbs.
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad #createwithcrisp I started out by making my pasta and then coating it in olive oil. I used my Crisp Cooking Straight Peeler to peel the cucumber. It is my favorite peeler! It peels perfect without ruining the cucumber. I have had peelers that have put dents in my produce and I don’t like that. But I have the perfect peeler now!
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad #createwithcrisp Then I chopped my cherry tomatoes in half, sliced my roasted red pepper from the jar, and chopped up my banana peppers. I use my Crisp Cooking Straight Pairing Knife. As you know I have mentioned in past posts that this is by far my favorite little knife for cutting produce. It’s sharp enough to cut through any fruit and vegetable and it even comes with its own knife sharpener. I kid you not, I think I use this knife every day.
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad #createwithcrisp The last thing I did was cut my herbs. I used the scissors to cut the chives, but used my Crisp Cooking Herb Mincer to cut the parsley. The Herb Mincer is so perfect for making your herbs nice and small. I don’t like having big chinks of parsley in my salad, blah. By the way I heard that parsley is going to be the new big, and upcoming herb. It used to be basil, but now it’s parsley.
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad #createwithcrisp I added all my vegetables, herbs to my bowl of orzo pasta and added a pinch of salt pepper and lemon juice. It is truly a delicious little salad! I love it!

Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

Happy Wednesday! Pucker Up! Love is in the air! I Happy Wednesday! Pucker Up! Love is in the air! I am sharing with you part of my dining room that is all decked out for Valentines Day. 
💋
I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute! 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada. 
💋
What is your favorite Valentines candy?

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
