Sunday Dinner Recipe Grilled Lemon Chicken

Hello pretty ladies,

Happy Memorial weekend, I hope the weather is beautiful where you live, and you’re doing something fun to celebrate the Holiday weekend.

Today’s “in the kitchen with D’Arcy” Sunday recipe share, I am sharing my easy Grilled Lemon pepper & garlic chicken with you. Perfect for kicking off BBQ season this Memorial Weekend ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 You can view my reel here.

—Easy Sunday Dinner—

Grilled Lemon pepper & garlic chicken Recipe:

Chicken breast ( I like thinly sliced)

1/3 cup olive oil

Juice of 2 lemons & 1 Lime

One lemon sliced

One tablespoon of Lemon pepper season

1/2 teaspoon Black garlic seasoning

Lemon pepper citron seasoning (I do about 3 -4 Shakes)

1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder seasoning

In a 9×12 dish, coat the chicken with olive oil, making sure to coat both sides. I also like like to poke the chicken with a fork to help marinate soak into the chicken. Next, add the juice of the lemons and lime, again making sure to coat both sides of the chicken. Then add all of the seasonings making sure to coat both sides. Cover with plastic or foil, place in the fridge until ready to grill. I like to prep in the morning to allow time to marinate all day. Grill on medium heat. If thin, grill for about 13-15 minutes. If thick, chicken about 9/10 minutes a side.

|Great Paired with|

Paired with Steamed Artichokes served with Parmesan garlic butter,

Baby red potatoes with green onions, & garlic butter, and a homemade buttermilk biscuit!

In case your taking advantage of any SALEs this Holiday weekend❤️🤍💙 I have a full Sale recap up Friday Favorite’s weekly round-up.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #7

Hello Pretty ladies,

We are all most to the end of May, Schools out in Utah, and were headed into Memorial Weekend end, the kick-off to Summer. I look forward to Bbq season, longer days, spending time in the yard, and pool and lake days! How about you?

Memorial Weekend means more than significant sales. However, that’s a fun way to spend part of your weekend. Remembering all those who have and are serving this beautiful country is essential. Our freedoms aren’t free, and those who have given so much and families that have made sacrifices must be remembered and thanked. So fly those flags high and remember why we celebrate and have a three-day weekend.

Thank you to all those who serve and have served this country. God bless you and your families.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

Hello pretty ladies,

I hope your week was a good one! It seemed to fly by for me! I can’t seem to catch up and get everything done on my to-do list! Have you had weeks or months like this? What do you do to keep yourself from stressing out over it?

I have learned to take a day at a time, and LISTS helps me. I have a weekly to-do list and try to break it down into daily parts… Then, what I don’t finish for that day, I highlight it and make it my first thing for the next day. If you’re like me, you might have great expectations of what you can accomplish in a day! Which can set your week up for failure.

Instead, make a priority list, a “something I would love to do List” “and an “I have time List” Break the priority list into items for each day. Then when you accomplish that day’s priorities, pick something from the other list. This will allow you to achieve your daily priorities and feel good about the day instead of causing stress.

Let me know if you try this little “life helper” or if you have a tip to help you accomplish your goals of the week by commenting below.

If you like a more personal and closer connection as well as a”what you could have missed review,” you might like my newsletter

| A Little Life Catch-up |

Last night I enjoyed attending my sweet girlfriend’s “girlfriend Dinner.” Jennifer Burns, a Chef on ABC, hosted a beautifully catered dinner at her home—an annual event. Let me tell you; it’s always such a fun evening with good friends and great food.

This year was a Chinese theme Hibachi night.

Shifuku did a fantastic job catering a fun experience and an excellent idea for a Birthday party or even an engagement party or rehearsal dinner.

Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time

Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time

Hello Pretty Ladies,

How did your first week of May go? It flew by for me I can’t believe Mother’s Day is going to be here next week. Do you have fun plans? I haven’t figured out what I want to do yet:) the kids keep asking what I would like to do. Happy to just be together, but I guess there must be food:).

I created a couple of Mother’s Day gift guides over on my LIKEtoKNOW shop and on My Amazon Shop if you are needing some inspiration. Items I love and often give them as gifts as well.

Today’s in the “kitchen with D’Arcy” Sunday recipe share, I am sharing with you my easy no-fail Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time. This is not your traditional Quiche recipe. I have a couple of shortcuts that do not affect the taste of the quiche. My family loves this as part of a brunch (I served this at Easter) or as a yummy dinner served with a salad. You can alter the veggies and the cheeses to create several different variations, even add bacon or ham.

Recipe for Quiche

2 cups small mushrooms, sliced

1 1/2 cups mixed veggies, (such as raw spinach leaves and cooked broccoli and asparagus} I used Mushrooms & Spinach

6 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup green onion

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1/4 teaspoon ground garlic

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

5 to 6 grinds of black peppercorns

1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese

1/4 cup grated white Cheddar

1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

frozen pie crust or pie dough (Bake as directed)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray; set aside.
Whisk eggs, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Fold in the mushroom, spinach, onion, garlic, seasonings, and cheese. Spoon into the prepared pie pan. Bake until set and golden brown, about 30-45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes; slice. Garnish with thyme and serve (I wrap the edges of the pie crust in foil until the middle is almost done.)

This is a very unconventional way to make Quiche, and I assure you it is so good and cuts time in half. I do not pre-cook the pie crust, nor do I pre-cook the veggies.

Live life stylishly and look good at any age.

Have a beautiful new week, and thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my blog post

| Treat Yourself |

You deserve a little treat, and treating yourself is okay. Treating yourself doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. It could be as simple as a little something you wanted at Target to something you’ve wanted for years. I am reminding you it’s okay to do something for yourself.

Last Friday’s round-up, I told you about some Gucci sandals I had been wanting and waiting for my size for over a year. They finally arrived, and I was so excited. (photo above) I shared them on Instagram. Even though this was a splurge, I permitted myself, and sometimes we must treat ourselves.

5 Ingredient White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffins

Happy Sunday, pretty Ladies!

How was your week? Can you believe we are already headed into the last week of April? Mother’s Day is going to be here before we know it. In addition, we have two college graduations this week, Hayden and Tyler are both graduating from Weber State, and we are beyond excited to celebrate these two boys. I can’t wait to see what the feature holds for both.

Today I am sharing an easy and quick recipe, 5 Ingredients White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffins —a great morning treat, an afternoon snack, and easy to take on the go. I created a REEL on Instagram a while back, making these yummy muffins. Watch it HERE.

“The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table.” So they’ll come running for these….

Recipe:

One box of super moist French vanilla cake mix

one 15 oz can of blueberries in light syrup (I like Oregon)

1 cup white chocolate chips ( I like Guittard)

Two tablespoons of flaxseed meal

Powdered sugar enough to top muffins

What to do:

Mix cake mix and flaxseed, add blueberries with syrup, mix, and add chocolate chips, stirring in. Scoop into muffin pan and bake at 350 for 12-17 min, depending on the oven

Makes 12-20 muffins depending on the size muffins pans

Live life stylishly and look good at any age.

Do you have fun plans for the weekend? I plan on lying low and having some time at home with my hubby. I hope to catch up on some work and prep for the upcoming week.

Denim

Short sleeve Chambray top

The denim-on-denim trend is strong, and this chambray button-up with little ruffle detail is too cute. Style it over a tan dress, paired with shorts, or worn with white jeans for a fresh look.

Pant– Wide leg crop, Cropped Wide leg denim, the Meg jean cute paired with a simple tank or graphic tee. Cute and worn with a bodysuit, blazer, and wedge sandals for date night.

The Dress

The perfect dress you’ll wear all Spring and Summer is So versatile you can wear it as a bathing suit cover-up, Leave it open and wear it as a duster with a tank, shorts, or your favorite jeans. Button up and wear as a dress belted or unbelted. $33

Jewelry

I am a sucker for accessories and jewelry for use on the outfit. So here are some pieces I purchased this SSpringI am already wearing on repeat.

Evereve large turquoise and gold statement ring and this delicate turquoise and gold bracelet. I love that it mixes and matches all my gold jewelry, yet it also works with several turquoise pieces I own. This bracelet is pretty on its own, but I love a good arm stack, and it looks great with the bracelets I own from Miranda Frye.

Shop the jewelry below: (tap on Photo)

For the Home

I can’t get enough of this $30 candle. The scent fragrances the main level of our home, and the 40 oz container is beautiful.

I picked up a couple of new pillows to freshen up the outside bench for SSpring, this great rug, and a fun silk plant.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Hello Pretty ladies,

I hope your week has been going well. Life seems to go by faster and faster as we age, wouldn’t you agree? We’re already halfway thru April! How does that happen? Today, I share 3 ways to style the Spanx Air essential Dress.

This easy-to-wear buttery soft dress with pockets is easy to wear and style. With a mock neckline and a tank sleeve style, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer. You can quickly wear this dress in many different ways, but today I am showing you three ways to style it for work wear, sporty chic, and for travel.

Work Wear

Spanx dress styled with the Spanx blazer.

The Spanx air essentials crew neck sweatshirt is over the shoulders for a fun detail. I chose the cognac color crew neck sweatshirt because it matched my Cecelia New York sandals and tied in with this vegan leather tote.

Finish off the look with Gold Accessories. This is a great professional look for work, a Zoom meeting, or a Business lunch.

This look is also comfortable to wear all day, yet removing the crew neck for a chic dress and blazer look could take you straight to a dinner date.

Shop the Look Below:

Sporty Chic

Spanx dress paired with a denim jacket immediately takes it to a more casual look. But take it to sporty chic by adding a fun Ball cap, big silver hoop earrings, White leather sneakers with a bit of silver detail, and a dressed-up belt bag with silver chain detail.

This Sports chic look is great for traveling, sightseeing, sporting events, or grabbing coffee with friends.

Again easy to wear, Easy to pack, and looks oh so put together.

Shop the look below:

Travel Vacation mode

I made the Spanx dress look like a skirt, paired with the Spanx Air essential crew neck sweatshirt, a cute Gigi pip Straw sun hat, an Amazon Find Straw bag, and fun Dolce Vita sandals. The espadrille platform is a fun look.

On a warmer day, you could easily swap out the crew neck sweatshirt for a button-up or oversized graphic tee. Or wear it with no layers.

I think a denim shirt tied around the waist would be cute.

A great alternative to wearing an extra layer is using it as an accessory on a warm day. This gives the layer a look without adding an entire layer.

Fashion Tip:

Adding texture to an outfit with accessories helps create a well-put-together look without much effort.

Think of different fabric mixes, adding texture to a shoe or a bag. Finally, jewelry finishes off the look.

Shop to look below:

How Hairstyles help create a look

Another thing to consider is how you style your hair for each look. Choose a hairstyle that will compliment the outfit.

Higher necklines look great with hair pulled back to show off the neckline. A top knot is a cute look with a work/office look. Glasses on the head as a fashion statement pull hair away from the face to show the neckline. Looks business-like as well.

Easy Bruschetta Charcuterie Board For Dinner

Happy Sunday, Pretty Ladies,

I hope your Week was a good one. April is flying by, and we are finally having some Spring weather in Utah. Of course, spring in Utah will spring back and forth from Summer to Winter, sometimes on the same day. But I’ll take all the sunshine I can get. Today for “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I share a family favorite. Easy Bruschetta Charcuterie Board For Dinner.

This is a great dinner idea that you can whip up quickly and refreshingly on a warm evening. I love to serve outside on the patio. Our family loves this meal, and I love that I can whip it up in under 30 minutes. Under 15 minutes if I use a couple of premade items. I like Trader Joe’s Bruschetta mix. Their French Baguettes are excellent, too, as well as the mozzarella balls or log. While you are at Trader Joe’s, grab the balsamic glaze too. Best price around.

If I can get farm-fresh tomatoes or homegrown, I love to make my bruschetta Recipe Here and serve tomatoes on the side deliciously with fresh basil, salt, and balsamic glaze. Yum

A light & easy dinner✔️ Bruschetta Charcuterie Board🥖 Serve alone or with a salad… My family loves this year-round but loves it with Farm Fresh tomatoes on summer nights. You might like the REEL I created to show how I created the board.
