Not your Ordinary Turkey, Avocado, and Tomato Sandwich

Not your Ordinary Turkey, Avocado, and Tomato sandwich

Hello, pretty lady,

Happy Sunday, I hope you had a great week. Today, I am sharing a quick and easy family favorite recipe for the BEST turkey sandwich.

The Turkey sandwiches I make, all summer long, my family loves, are not your ordinary Turkey, Avocado, and Tomato sandwich. First off, the Key to these delicious sandwiches is warm, crusty Bread straight from the oven, yet soft on the inside.

This sandwich is fresh, healthy, delicious, and easy to make—a perfect summer meal to serve alfresco or take on a picnic.

Bread Tip:

My tip is a French baguette run under water (a tip my Mother-in-law taught me 33 years ago), placed in the oven for 5-7 minutes- seriously, makes it like you made it fresh… This process works for any crusted Bread loaf, like sourdough or French Bread.

Turkey Sandwich Recipe

– French bread baguette loaf

-Board’s head spicy pepper Turkey freshly sliced from the deli

– Farm Fresh Tomatoes salt & peppered

-Micro greens (or sprouts)

– Peppered jack cheese (or your favorite). We like the Board’s head, or Tillamook pepper jack cheese.

-My Smashed Avocado spread (shared below)

Makes 4 nice-sized sandwiches. No condiments needed

My Smashed Avocado Spread Recipe:

2 ripe avocados smashed

1 tablespoon Everything seasoning (more if you like salt)

One small shallot, diced thin and small

1 teaspoon of finely chopped/minced fresh garlic

Mix all ingredients above, then spread thickly onto the sandwich.

This is also great on Avocado toast with an egg, tomato, and microgreens on toasted sourdough Bread.

Serve with your favorite sides.

I served with my :

-Basil corn salad

– a small charcuterie board

– My easy blue cheese-stuffed grape on a walnut appetizer

Along with your choice of sun tea, cucumber mint water, or sparkling water

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend. I am taking the time to heal after the 2nd laser treatment I had on Thursday, and trying to get some writing and content done. Feeling grateful for a little time to heal and work without feeling pressure. I have to be honest, I’ve finally been feeling creative. I think my little girl’s trip to California gave me the boost I needed.

Today’s Sunday Recipe is Asian-Style Brussels Sprout Skewers. Easy to make, a great appetizer, and a perfect side dish. This dish will make non-brussels sprout lovers love them.

Asian Style Brussels Sprout Skewers

1 bag Brussels sprouts

1/2 cup Hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons Soy sauce

Drizzle Sesame oil in the pan & a small drizzle on top of the sprouts

1/4 cup Crushed peanuts (reserve to sprinkle on top) or sesame seeds

Directions:

Cut ends off sprouts, add to a pan with water, and bring to a boil; let boil for about 10 minutes, until soft. Drain. Let cool. Then place on skewers

Preheat oven to 400

Make the sauce:

Mix all the above ingredients, then brush over the sprouts, turn, and brush all sides. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds. Place in the oven, cook until crispy

Catch up Friday, A Few Thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Catch up Friday, A Few thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great week. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and really caught up with you. My year has been crazy, with taking care of my mom, my melanoma journey, and becoming a grandma (COCO). Along with the heaviness of the world, my head and little world have been spinning. Today, I thought I’d do a little brain dump and life update/catch-up.

Week Recap:

My week was a little shorter than usual because I had a long weekend away for some work and girl time in California. It’s always a good time to catch up with friends, Shop, and enjoy the California coast. Road tripping with my mom, visiting my good friend Gina, and catching up with girlfriends I met on the gram and have become friends over the years, and annually we meet in Beverly Hills at Madison Masion (a shoe brand we all work with) for a lovely event.

This year we enjoyed a full day, checking out all the New arrivals and product launches at Madison Madison, then Drinks and appetizers at Wally’s before we headed to Spago’s for Dinner. We had so much fun, we didn’t get home until Midnight! It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed out that late.

Mixing work and Friendship over 50 feels so different. It’s intentional, joyful, and uplifting. When you do what you love and surround yourself with people who understand your work and support and encourage you, it is refreshing. Whether like-minded or with different views, we love and respect each other enough to have discussions without judgment.

On My Mind

In today’s heavy world, everything is judged, and everything you say or don’t say can somehow be controversial! How sad is that? Why is everyone so sensitive? Should we feel wrong to believe the way you wish? Why does it have to be so divided? I truly believe Most people want love, love their families, want a safe, loving home, clean food and air, and what’s best for our children. So much Evil. I wish we could go back to simpler times, and I feel many others are on the same page.

Something about being over 50: You learn you can truly pick and choose who you surround yourself with, and you can create the life you want and understand how to create peace in the chaos. We understand we can’t control everything, but we can control ” our little world.” For me, my faith is a big part of what guides my choices and how I live my life. I hope that shows through what I share and how I react to what’s going on around me.

Health Update:

3 Months since my Melanoma surgery, and yesterday I had my 2nd Co2 laser surgery. Right now, we are concentrating on the scar tissue underneath, which will also help with the couple of spots puckering.

The laser process is only about 10 minutes. You use numbing cream about an hour beforehand, which helps; it does “smart” a little, but not horribly. The doctors did say, “You have a high pain tolerance?” After it’s a little hot, I take a few Ibuprofen, and you keep Aquaphor on it for 24 hours. It does bleed, ooze, scab over, and get messy. I will look like this for about 5 days.

The Care:

For the next 4 to 5 days, you use a genital cleanser, then a vinegar soak for 10 minutes a day. It looks scabby and pretty ugly. Hopefully, it will look better than before. I know to follow the process, and I’ve been told that after 1 year, I won’t even see the scar. Praying that’s the case, but honestly, I am thankful this was my journey; although difficult, it’s much easier than chemo. I am thankful for God’s blessings and continue to pray as I have my 3-month skin check-up in a couple of weeks.

Wassail Sparkler

A cocktail that’s a hit at every Holiday party. I love having a yummy “signature cocktail” in a Pitcher for entertaining: It’s an easy way to have a no-host bar.

Recipe:

-Trader Joe’sWinter Wassail punch

-Orange Juice Wassail Sparkler

-Poppi Cranberry Fizz

(Or cranberry juice and sparkling water, or cranberry 7-Up)

-Your favorite Prosecco or champagne (or skip for a non alcoholic cocktail)

-Blood oranges

-Limes

-Cranberries

-Pomegranate seeds

Garnish with

Rosemary & a slice of orange

In A pitcher, combine:

In a gallon pitcher, pour the entire bottle of Wassail punch, about 2 cups of orange juice, and one can of Poppi cranberry fizz; add two cans if you like it sparkling. 1 Blood Orange sliced, one lime sliced, 1 cup of Cranberries, 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, and stir. Garnish with two springs of rosemary and a blood orange slice. Serve with prosecco or your favorite alcohol listed above.

Happy Holiday Entertaining!

Affordable Walmart Holiday Finds & Black Friday Details

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Monday and week of Thanksgiving. We are officially kicking off the Holiday season this week, which means the Super Bowl of Sales has begun. Holiday decorating is in full swing, and people’s social calendars are filling up.

With that said, I really like being helpful and sharing things I find, create, etc.

Today, I am sharing my Walmart finds. Have you been to Walmart lately or looked online? They have been really upping their game on all fronts, from fashion to home goods, and the quality is really impressive, especially for the prices. I am also sharing some critical dates and times for Black Friday shopping, as well as New features for your holiday shopping experience.

Did you know I had a Walmart storefront? You can check it out HERE. | I am still working on creating shopping boards and collections, but I thought I would share so you could check it out. The progress is slow as I put it together.

Holiday Home entertaining

How cute are these pieces for entertaining and gift-giving? The quality is excellent, and I have a full video HERE to see all the Items I am sharing below.
