Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Hello Pretty Lady,

The recipe I make often is a family favorite and has been highly requested by you. I’ve finally had a chance to get it up on the blog, and I hope you and your family love it as much as mine does. You’ll have to let me know in the comments below if you try it.

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

 

Focaccia Dough recipe:

4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons instant yeast, 2 cups water. Whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast first, then add water and stir together. Add olive oil, then cover the bowl preferably with a lid or a cloth bowl cover. Stick the bowl in the fridge immediately; leave it there to rise for 12 to 18 hours (or for as long as three days). The dough recipe is one I tried from Alexandria  | and it’s seriously so good on its own with rosemary and the Sea Salt. But, I just had to try it with my Caprice Toppings, and man, the combination is so good!

TIP:

I baked the bread the day or so before (double the batch and make a couple), freeze one for later. 

Then I added all the toppings and baked for 15 minutes, or you can serve toppins cold on the baked foccia & drizzled with balsamic glaze, and served

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Caprice Toppings:

-Organic  Tomatoes 

-Fresh Basil 

-Fresh rosemary

-Chopped garlic cloves 

-Mozzarella ( I like Trader Joe’s cut in 1/2, and I use a little of the oil it’s in to drizzle )

-Sprinkle flaky salt 

-Drizzle with olive oil (I use garlic-infused) 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Serve with :

Balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Bruschetta sauce (Trader Joe’s)

Love a little dipping, but it’s tasty all on its own 

Other topping options:

Kamala olives 

Jalapeños

Nordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

July 7, 2025

gNordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

The most anticipated Sale of the Year! It starts tomorrow, but only for cardholders with Icon Static…. I didn’t want non-cardholders to feel left out, so I scoured all 136 pages of the sale section to bring you my top picks throughout the week! Hoping you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list. I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up.

I’ve been shopping this sale for over 30 years and look forward to it every year. It’s a great time to pick up items/brands that are hard to find on sale! They have amazing beauty bundles you can’t get any other time of the year!

Items I purchase for my wardrobe, I wear, tend to wear on repeat as well as build my classic wardrobe with good quality pieces. 

This year’s SALE is truly one of the BEST I’ve seen in years… My wish list would be everything you see here in my graphics (if I could. 

Things to Remember & a few tips

Things to remember: The Anniversary SALE is open for preview and starts tomorrow for Icon static cardholders….Don’t have a card? Apply here to shop for the Cardholder sale from July 8th to August 3rd. Store sales will open to the public from July 14th to August 3rd. Are you a cardholder? Remember, you get a triple points day, so don’t forget to schedule it for the day you’re headed to shop.

If shopping online, you can schedule your points on your order before checking out. If you feel like shopping on my page and using my links here and below, I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I get a tiny commission, which allows me to keep doing what I love.

Nordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

Mark your calendar:

 Don’t forget to watch my Instagram stories for daily tips, to see my try-on, and for more in-store details. On July 10th, tune in at 4:00 p.m. for my live on Instagram. I’ll be sharing items I own and wardrobe builders. I’m also excited to give you a sneak peek at what will be on Sale from Wit & Wisdom, as they sent me a few affordable pieces to share. Again, thank you for your support and for taking the time to stop by and read my post.

You don’t have to be a cardholder to SHOP the SALE! You can sign up to be a member for free and still earn points. 

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

  • Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!
  • Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!
  • Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.
  • Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

 

When can I shop for the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

July 1st- Online preview begins ( you can start planning and creating your wishlist) 

Icons July 8th-11th -Icon Early Access. Icons spend over $15,000 per Year

Ambassadors – July 9th-11th- Ambassador early access. Ambassadors spend over $5000 per Year.

Influencers – July 10th-11th- Influencer early access. Influencers spend over $500 per Year.

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. Breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop. LTK HERE, as I’ve created a few Nordstrom Boards to simplify shopping.

6 items I buy every year at the Nordstrom Sale

A free people cardigan or sweater… It’s a great time to get free people on sale, and they always have a good selection! (This is this year’s pick.) 

A new coat again, it’s the best time to pick up designer pieces that are hard to find on sale.  This is this year’s pick, Ralph Lauren’s plaid cropped pea coat 

Donna Karen’s cashmere deodorant.. I have used this for 30 years and just love it! 1 box lasts for the whole year! Smells great and works

A Charlotte Tilbury makeup set, I love Charlotte T, and this is one of the only times of the year to grab on sale!

The BEST moisturizing lotion by Khiels, it’s so rich and creamy, really moisturizes your skin, and again, only time of year to grab this big size at this price. 

I grab “this year’s” Steve Madden mule. It’s a go-to everyday shoe I can wear with everything! All year long! I want this one too! Loving this year’s gold buckle detail, and comes in several colors!  I want it in the wine, the pearl, and the neutral

The strappy shoulder design is flattering, while the cinched-in waist adds a hint of romantic sass to the outfit. To show off the beautiful Haulter neckline, I wore my hair in a loose, low ponytail. Pairing the jumpsuit with Bold Gold accessories adds great detail to the Black. Gold Jewelry by Julie Vos and Lisi Lurch. A metallic gold small woven bag by Chicos and Gols, studded block heel sandals by Cecelia New York. My Instagram post HERE

Styling Tip

Remember, Styling your Hair and make up to go with the dress, is part of Styling the look.

Wearing a block heel if you are attending a garden Party or outside garden wedding, is really helpful to walk on the grass without sinking your heels into the grass.

Summer Salad Season Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad

June 15, 2025

Summer Salad Season Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad

Summer Salad Season Crunchy  Chicken - Sweet and Savory Salad

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend. The weather in Utah has been beautiful, and we’ve been spending a lot of time outside working on Yard and Garden projects and craving salads. With that being said, for today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I am sharing my recipe for my Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad. It’s so good, the mix of crunchy Chicken and sweet pecans with the savory flavor of Blue cheese gives this mixed green and veggie salad that wow factor.

Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad Recipe:

2 Panko-crusted chicken breasts cut into cubes ( I use my Chicken Schnitzel recipe) (I make a couple extra that week for dinner & reserve to make this salad that week) 

One Bag of mixed greens of your choice or hand chop ( I like 1 chopped romaine, 1 chopped iceberg, and a handful of spinach) 

1/2 cup Green onions 

1 large tomato, diced

One Carrot sliced however you like 

1 cup Blue cheese crumbles

1 cup Candied pecans

Fresh pepper to taste

Balsamic glaze for drizzle 

Homemade garlic croutons (I use leftover garlic bread, cut into cubes and warm in the oven until crispy)

My dressing of choice is a homemade Italian vinaigrette or balsamic vinegar; the boys prefer blue cheese dressing. 

How to serve:

This salad serves four as a main course for dinner. If so, I make four salads in individual bowls by dividing the ingredients evenly. If serving as a side or taking it to a party, I add everything to a large wooden salad bowl and mix the lettuce with a good toss. Then, I layer all the ingredients except the salad dressing and let people add that to their liking.

Easy Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe

Easy Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe

Easy Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had a great May. Man, did it fly by so fast? Did it for you as well? I felt like I blinked and it was over. Today, I’m hopping on the blog to share one of my favorite quick and easy recipes, perfect for a quick appetizer. These are ingredients most of us have on hand, which means you can throw them together quickly if you need to take a dish to a party or serve a little something to guests who drop by.

I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends do. If you try it, I would love you to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. OX

Easy Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe

Easy Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe

The perfect quick Appetizer that’s sure to please every time. Even better, you can make it ahead of time, as its taste is even better.

Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe: 

1 pack of softened Cream Cheese

One cup of shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/4 cup to roll a ball in)

1 cup green onions (reserve 1/4 cup to roll ball in)

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt 

Crackers of your choice (wheat thins are best), it’s a hard enough cracker to scoop up without breaking.  

To create your Recipe:

In a medium-sized bowl 

Use a mixer and whip up the cream cheese. When softened, add the cheese and mix until smooth. Then, add the green onion and garlic salt. Mix up. 

Form into a ball, roll in the reserved green onion and cheese, place it back in the bowl, and cover. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use. 

I prefer to make this a day in advance for optimal flavor. 

Serve with crackers. 

Great on cucumbers as well. 

*Makes a great baked potato topping too

—Recipe—
Homemade Caprice Focaccia Bread 

🍞 Full Focaccia Dough recipe: is up on my blog! 

I baked the bread the day or so before (double the batch and make a couple) freeze one for later.

Then I added all the toppings and baked for 15 min , drizzled with balsamic glaze and serve

🍃Caprice Toppings:

-Organic  Tomatoes 
-Fresh Basil 
-Fresh rosemary
-Chopped garlic cloves 
-Mozzarella ( I like trade joes  cut in 1/2 and I use a little of the oil it’s in to drizzle )
-Sprinkle flaky salt 
-Drizzle with olive oil (I use garlic infused) 
-Drizzle with Balsamic glaze

Serve with :
Good quality Balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dipping  and or 

bruschetta  sauce (trader Joes ) or you can make mine also on the blog😉

🍲Love a little dipping, but it’s tasty all on its own

Sweet Summer Strawberries 🍓🍃 Come dine with Sweet Summer Strawberries 🍓🍃

Come dine with me…
by sliding ⬅️ through my photos, I hope you feel like your at my table.

Inspired by these gorgeous handmade velvet strawberries embellished with crystals and satin. By @hotskwash 

I knew I needed to create a Berry Summer Table. 

Summer time is a beautiful time of year to entertain and host friends. 

Sweet Berries, shades of soft pink, white linen with ruffles, vintage dishes, gorgeous soft summer flowers. 
All set the tone perfect for hosting a dessert party, a tea, serving a Berry themed lunch. Truly so many ways you could enjoy this theme. 

Romanticizing everyday life, using your special pieces , family heirlooms (here is my great Nanas pink glassware dishes) and pieces I’ve collected over the years) creates joy in the little things. 

I hope I inspired you in someway to host friends, or pull out your special pieces to use, make a berries dessert or arrange some flowers. 
Life’s to short 🌸🍓

—Come Shop Napa… with me🍷🍇🧀🛍️ W —Come Shop Napa…
with me🍷🍇🧀🛍️

What’s a Napa trip without some shopping? 

You know I am always on the mission to find cute Boutiques & Antiques shops while on vacation. Nothing better than shopping small and treasure hunting🛍️🌸🤍

We Found this great Winery/Restaurant /Bakery/Tasting Room/ Boutique and beautiful Courtyard 🍇🍷🧀🍽️🛍️🍾That you could seriously, spend the day at or at least several hours. 

The @brasswoodnapavalley @brasswoodstyle @brasswoodbakery Was having a Summer Soirée~

Which included, wine, appetizers, bakery bites and a discount while 🛍️ Shopping! 

Talk about a wonderful experience🍾🍷

The courtyard was beautiful, shaded 🍃 with lots of lounging areas to enjoy your snacks… if you were still hungry the restaurant and bakery were open as well as the tasting rooms to enjoy a beautiful lunch or dinner. 

(Wait tell you see the Darling Dress and hand bag I purchased to wear on our Colorado trip next month🧳)

Then we headed up the Street, to a couple of Beautiful Antique stores, on of which was a fabulous French Antique store, which the owner heads to France every couple of months to bring back beautiful treasures! The furniture was stunning, gorgeous mirrors, pottery, old books, and beautiful china…oh I wanted everything🤍🤍🤍

Yes, shopping in Napa means Wine while shopping🍾🍷🥂

Note: Almost every winery has a gift shop, which will ship home your purchases for you including wine (if it’s allowed in your state) 😉

Napa also has a couple of main streets with little shopping blocks..Depending on how much time you have or your interests 🤍

I’ll have a full blog post up next week…for more information , on wineries, dining , where you need reservations and places to stay.

Have you been to Napa? If so what was your favorite thing? If not is it a place on your list to visit? Tell me in the comments below.
