Easy Bruschetta Charcuterie Board For Dinner

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.

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy April and Sunday, my friends. I am sure you have figured out I share a recipe on Sundays. Are you a carrot cake lover? I have the best carrot cake recipe that is tried and true. This is a recipe I have made for years and family approved. Do you want a cake that is such good people ask you to make it for them? This is the one my hubby asks him to make him. This is the cake I make for his Birthday.

This Carrot cake is perfect for Easter; it can be made into cupcakes, two loave pans, a bunt pan, two rounds, or one square. So, you can get creative and decide which look you’d like to have for serving. 

Ben and I have tried many carrot cakes, and only one has come close to this recipe; trust me when I say, My carrot cake recipe is so good. I know you’re going to love it.

I created a REEL you might want to watch.

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

 

Carrot Cake Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 Cups Flour

2 Cups Sugar

1 1/3 C Vegetable Oil 

4 Eggs

4  Cups Grated Carrots (Tip: the bag of Shredded carrots at the market is 4 cups)

2 Teaspoons Cinnamon 

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2 Teaspoon Baking Powder 

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

3/4 Cup Walnuts. (1/2 cup extra , chopped to garnish if you wish)

2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

In A Mixing Bowl

Preheat oven 350. Beat Sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and add oil until thick. Add in flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in Carrots and walnuts. Pour in the greased pan or pans of choice. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, depending on the oven.

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

Cream Cheese Frosting:

8oz Cream Cheese

One Stick/Cube of Butter 

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

1 Box of Powder Sugar ( you won’t use the whole box) I use 3 cups 

*Double the frosting recipe if using a bunt pan, two round pans, or two loaf pans.

In A Mixing Bowl

In a mixing bowl, beat Cream cheese and butter until light; add Vanilla, then add Sugar to taste while mixing. (Sugar is to taste as some like it sweeter than others.)

Frosting The Cake

Let the cake or cakes cool on a cooling rack. Once cool, flip on a plate to remove it from the pan. Once completely cool on a plate, use a frosting spatula, and frost the cake. Embellish cake with chopped walnuts or carrot shavings. If you are good at decorating, add little carrots.

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you’re having a beautiful Sunday. Someone keeps shaking the snow globe we seem to be living in, in Utah. I am quiet over winter and ready for sunshine, green grass, and flowers. 

Yesterday was our youngest son’s 20th birthday. So naturally, Hampton requested chocolate-covered strawberries as dessert; I had to oblige. Thank goodness his birthday is when strawberries are in season; at least, when we lived in California, they were. We’re lucky our grocery store carries California strawberries, and they happened to have large ones. The larger ones are more fun to dip and have for a main dessert.

I thought you might like to know how I whipped up a batch of chocolate-covered strawberries, in case you haven’t tried making them yourself. You can also watch the REEL I created, So easy and yummy. If you are a home baker like me or just starting, check out the baking list on my Amazon Shops.

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 
5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

Recipe

-Strawberries ( I like good size ones)

  • 1 1/2 Cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 Cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Tbs butter
  • 3 Tbs olive oil 

Wash strawberries and lay them out to dry (they must be dry to dip)

In 2 small glass bowls, add chocolate chips in one and white chocolate chips in the other. 

Line cookie sheet with wax paper

In chocolate chip, add 1 Tbs Butter &  2 TBS olive oil

Warm in microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until chocolate is smooth, & melted, and silky looking, Working quickly, dip strawberries and lay them on a cookie sheet.  When all strawberries are dipped. You’ll now decorate with white chocolate.

You’ll make the white chocolate the same way as the Regular Chocolate. (Just a smaller amount)

1/2 cup white chocolate,  1 TBS Butter, and Oil. Melt

And if you have a piping bag, you can create pretty white lines. I didn’t have a bag, So I drizzled the white chocolate on the berries. With a spoon.

TIP:

You could also drip the chocolate-covered berries in mini chocolate chips, nuts, or toffee bits.

Dipping Strawberries Size Tip

Using medium or small-sized strawberries to dip works excellent on Charcuteries boards and as a decoration on another dessert and is superior to garnishing a smoothie or cocktail. Large Strawberries make a great main dessert.

If you’ve been following me or reading my blog, you know our family loves Sun Valley, Idaho, and we take two ski trips there a year and have for over 16 years.

Today, I am sharing 7 Restaurants to try, In Sun Valley, Idaho, for you to try on your visit. These are some of our family’s favorites and repeaters for us. I hope you’ll love them as much as we do.

A Little About Sun Val ey

Sun Valley is a great little ski town, home to two significant ski areas and a sister resort to Snow Basin in Eden, Ut. (where we live)  It’s in Ketchum, Idaho, with fun little shops and excellent restaurants. We love to stay at The Sun Valley Lodge. You can’t go wrong dining at any of the restaurants on their property, but I have included three of our favorites: The Konditorei, Gretchen’s, and Dutchin’s Lounge.

Konditorei

Fireside coffee and hot cocoa. Fresh-baked European pastries. Casual dining for breakfast and lunch, with an Austrian twist. This is a daily stop for us, as w  love, their breakfast, and we like to stop by for an afternoon coffee and treat. This is not to be missed.

Gretchen’s

Adjacent to the Sun Valley Lodge lobby, Gretchen’s and The Duchin Lounge provide an exceptional dining experience. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner are served daily At Gretchen’s.

Restaurants in Sun Valley

Saw Tooth Brewery -The Sawtooth Club has been the gathering place for Ketchum locals and visitors since 1987. And for a good reason! Always warm, comfortable, and welcoming, intimate yet lively. Rustic elegance and sophistication without pretension. The Sawtooth Club is in downtown Ketchum. Happy Hour is from 4:30-6:00. You should arrive at 4:30 for a seat. Dinner reservations are highly recommended.

7 Restaurants To Try In Sun Valley Idaho

The Celler Pub– A locals hang out, Good strong drinks (I like their Moscow mule), and a great happy hour. We always meet fun people and have great conversations. 

Lefty’s – A local’s hang out, not a touristy spot. Very casual and affordable sports bar serving Grill and bar food. Families welcome, and they have a couple of arcade games for kids to be entertained. It gets very crowded, and you could wait a while for food if you get there at peak hours. 

 

The Roundhouse

They were serving up sky-high lunches and dinners with breathtaking views.

Perched atop the Roundhouse Express gondola at 7,700 feet of elevation on Bald Mountain, The Roundhouse has served memorable meals, soul-warming drinks, and stunning views since 1939. The Roundhouse is America’s original on-mountain dining experience and offers the authentic charm of America’s etched elegance for which Sun Valley is known. Reservations are highly recommended. The view is worth the prices, which are on the higher end.

Ketchum Starbucks– If you’re a Starbucks lover, this is a must-stop! Fun architecture with exciting history, including a vault and Hemingway art, not to mention great photo opportunities.

What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in Utah as a over 50 Wife, Mom, COCO and content Creator💋

Utah Weather in the Spring 🌱
Calls for layers….

Spring weather here can be “Schizophrenic” from a blizzard  To sunny and 60 in a day!

Although we’ve had an unusually strange winter this year, Spring still calls for layers.

Bundling up for the morning, and being able to take pieces off throughout the day, makes a great tip for Utah Springs.

I like classic pieces, in light colors and weights, yet work when layered to keep you warm.

Pieces you can mix and match, great wardrobe builders and add some texture.

- lighter weight & color long Wool coat , looks chic over shoulders, yet not to hot when on (I have a rain coat too) 

-Classic trousers are still trending and a great option to look more polished, shades of cream, tan and camel are great for Spring (works well with pastels too)

- Light weight, thinner ribbed mock neck turtleneck. I love the feel and fit of these. Affordable too.

- Vest are a great Spring layer, and the large Plaid/check in neutral shades keeps in classic and add interest. Yet, light enough for spring for layering and not sweat to death 😂
(I love linen vests too) 

- Adding texture with a fluffy & light fur on one shoulder (well still be seeing fur details for Spring)  Draped on one shoulder does add heat, like wearing around your neck does.

- Classic jewelry in gold & silver mix… and yes, I layered and stacked it on… classic pieces & yet layered gives your look a little edge. 

- Western suede pointed toe booties, elongate the leg, add more texture and keep your feet warmer but not too warm. 

Do you need layers in the Spring where you live?

❤️Follow for more Spring layer Outfits…. I have several style, color and on trend. While classic looks coming your way….

This Chapter…. My Melanoma Cancer Journey Shari This Chapter…. 
My Melanoma Cancer Journey 

Sharing my journey this far…Today, is 3 week post surgery.
 
Being told you have cancer is a roller coaster of emotions…
This is a journey none of us think you’re going to head down.

You can choose so many different paths to let your brain and emotions go…

I choose to give it to God, and to ask for your prayers, along with following my heart.

I knew I needed to stay positive and trust the process.
(Did I have scary thoughts and some tears, YES, Yes I did) 
But, honesty it wasn’t long. 

Once I gave it over, and trusted him and the process, along with asking for your prayers. 

I was at complete peace. Thank you for all my prayer warriors, I know I got the results I did because of you and your prayers. 

I’ve been told, I am strong, a warrior and so brave for sharing my journey. 
Honestly, I truly don’t feel that way at all, I fell like it’s a process to share, to help others and to help it not feel as scary! 

I didn’t know what to expect,  didn’t know what having my face cut up, or knowing what any of the processes or procedures were (I would have loved to have known…)

If I was going through this and these emotions, so were others. 

My hope in sharing  the journey, would help others to know the importance of getting your skin checked. 
In knowing the processes, and knowing we can do scary things, and we can get through them.

They say it takes a village to raise kids, but it also takes a village & prayers to get through life.🙏🏻

Thank you for all your support, love, prayers, DMs and messages of support.
I couldn’t have done it without all of you🙏🏻

Tomorrow is my first laser🙏🏻💪🏻
I’ll share who that goes in stories tomorrow 😉

⚠️Please note Melanoma is a very aggressive Skin cancer and is very different than other “skin cancers” I explained more about this in my prior lives.

⚠️Share this post, if you know someone going through melanoma ⚠️
