Pico de Gallo

July 9, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 3 Comments

Hi Everyone,

The tomatoes are going crazy in the garden and I am trying to find healthy, easy recipes to use them in.  The only problem is, the tomatoes are beating me up!  I create a recipe with tomatoes and my garden grows 10 more.  I can’t keep up!  Needless to say I have been eating a lot of tomato basil salads with balsamic glaze.  That is my go-to snack and lunch.  I think I eat more tomatoes in a day then the average person.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.  Tomatoes are healthy, low-calorie, non-fat and in the garden, they taste amazing.  I like to call it the pick and pop.  You know, pick a tomato and pop in my mouth.  Ok, that is only with cherry and grape tomatoes.  So today I have another tomato recipe for you and that is simply Pico de Gallo.

Pico de Gallo

My Pico de Gallo is made with tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, onion and a fresh lime. It’s light, refreshing and only 19 calories for a 1/2 a cup. Not to bad. Completely guilt-free! You can add cilantro to it, but I skipped it, since I am not a fan of cilantro.
Pico de Gallo

So what do you use with Pico de Gallo you wonder? Of course for dipping tortilla chips in, but it’s also great on the following:


Topping on grilled chicken
Topped on a baked potato
Tacos
Topped on a crostini
Topping on a burger or black bean patty
Topped on hot dogs
Topping on a plain salad

The possibilities are endless. But it’s also good eaten with a spoon.

    Oh this looks delicious. I have a confession I don’t like Coriander (Cilantro) either!! Tastes like soap. All the pico recipes I’ve seen have tons of the stuff in – yuk! Will try your recipe. Love home grown tomatoes you just can’t get that taste anywhere else. Great post. Sammie http://www.feastingisfun.com

    This is cool, it has everything that pure pico de gallo should have, onion, tomato and jalapeño, I’ve been following your blog since like a week ago because of your drinks and my boredom as a 16 year old grounded guy.

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

PS. Sorry mama hasn’t posted in a while. My brother Sully 🐶 who is a 2 year old Yellow Labrador has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in March and has gone through radiation treatment and is currently doing chemo.

Happy Tuesday! I know it’s been awhile since I h Happy Tuesday! I know it’s been awhile since I have shared anything with you. I have been busy cleaning up the yard, and my day job has been so busy. Hope you are doing well.

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
