Love is in the Air…

January 16, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

EDITED:  I forgot the oven temperature, it’s 350, I’ll fix it

Good morning,

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and love is in the air!  Ok, love in my belly that is!  he he  Since the season of love will be here in a few weeks, I thought I would practice up for the big day.  Will I want a decadent chocolate dessert, a romantic dinner, or these cookies?

I’m choosing these cookies!  In all actuality we really don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, my Husband says it’s just a Hallmark holiday that there shouldn’t be a certain day to celebrate love.  Well, sweetie I’m waiting for that day, and not our wedding anniversary, hint, hint, wink, wink!


These are unbelievably easy to make.  Wait till I tell you the ingredients, 4 to be exact, you’ll be like What?  Oh, and under 50 calories a cookie, double what!  Did I mention, these are chocolaty, cake like cookie?  Soft center and a slight chewy outer.  Like a brownie cookie! Your dying to know aren’t you!

These are made with Devils Food Cake box mix, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of canola oil and 1/4 cup of water.  Amazing huh?  Even I was impressed and if you give these to a loved one, they’ll be impressed to!!

Now there’s nothing healthy about them except there low calorie and an excellent little treat!!  I really enjoy these!  I’ll be making these more often.  I made a batch, cleaned the dishes and everything in less them 30 minutes!

Devils Foods Cake Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients:

1 18.9 oz box Pillsbury Sugar Free Devil’s Food Cake Mix

1/4 Cup Canola Oil

1/4 Cup water

1 egg or egg substitute

1 Tbsp. sprinkles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Mix all the ingredients together, but the sprinkles.

Roll the dough into about a 1″ ball and flatten a little bit with your palm.

Place about two inches apart on a parchment line baking sheet. Press sprinkles into the cookies.

Bake for 10 minutes or until bottom is very lightly brown.

Makes 48 cookies

Calories per cookie, not including sprinkles:  40,  Fat:  2,  Sodium:  64,  Carbs:  7,  Fiber:  .02,  Sugar:  0,  Protein:  .06

Wow no sugar, nice!  I didn’t even realize that when I was calculating the calorie.  A great guilt free treat!  Feel free to eat more then one!  I did!

I hope you liked my little chocolate cookies.  I made quite a few goodies this weekend and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Well my dinner’s almost done, so I must be going!  Have a great week!!

Ok, one more picture, just because I think there so pretty!!

    I think these cookies deserve a “z snap” and an “Oh no she DIDN’T!”. Because I’m just so enamored with them! I’d be eating the whole batch. Good thing they’re so low calorie. 😛

    I think I’d be more of a fan of V-day if I had a valentine to give me chocolate and to feed to cookies too. But alas, it’ll likely just be me and a batch of these. And tequila. Lol.

      Thank you I think there the best photos I have taken so far. Taking picture of food is more difficult then it seems! I’m still trying to get the hang of things! I think for V-day, I’ll still plan something special with Hubby, he’ll appreciate the thought! 🙂 Enjoy celebrating his birthday!!

Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾 S Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾

Sully passed away at only 2 years old from osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced.

I created Sully’s Garden to keep his memory alive—to have a little place in our garden that would always remind me of my sweet boy. 🌿💙

His garden sign now has a special place in a planter, surrounded by flowers and love. Every time I see it, I think of Sully.

He may not be here beside me, but he will always be a part of our home, our garden, and my heart. 🌈🐾

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Sully. ❤️

Check my newest YouTube video of Sully’s Garden.

Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends! 

I am absolutely loving Proven Winners’ Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena pulchella)! This is my first year growing it, and I’m already thinking it will be back in the garden next year. 💗

It has the cutest bright pink, globe-shaped flowers, and this little flower loves the heat! When temperatures hit the mid-90s, the Truffula Pink really shines. ☀️

Oddly enough, I don’t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this week—and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! 🦋💗

For that reason alone, I’ll definitely be growing it again next year!

🌸 Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth
• Annual
• Zones 9a–11b
• Height: 22–28”
• Spread: 22–26”
• Full sun ☀️
• Drought tolerant
• Pink flowers
• Great in containers or planted directly in the ground
• Low maintenance
• No deadheading required

Have you grown Truffula Pink Gomphrena? 🌸🦋

Look at this river of pink! Supertunia Vista Bubblegum by Proven Winners burst with flowers this week.
🌸
During July Garden tour, my petunias were looking sad, hardly any flowers. I said how disappointed I was. I followed all the Supertunia rules, spray with BT and fertilize. Then I made a little bit stronger concotion of BT Spray and a few days later, the plant rewarded me with beautiful pink blooms. 
🌸
Have the best day!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of 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!
