Dear D'Arcy

By D'Arcy Vandenberg


Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

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

| 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.

 

Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time

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

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray; set aside.

  2. 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.

| 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….

5  Ingredients White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffins

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

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.

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Hello pretty ladies, 

March is coming to an end; can you believe it? It went by pretty fast, considering it snowed daily here in Utah. Praying April is a new weather trend and that we get Spring. 

  I hope you have been enjoying Friday round-ups, as it’s been fun for me to share everything and brain dump! If you like a more personal connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my Newsletter. You can sign up . I send it out every Sunday.  

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

 

|A couple of things I’ve loved lately|

Below is an outfit I’ve been wearing on repeat. Eyeing this Free People Top, Vintage Bebe Pleated Long Sleeve Button-up Selected by Nomad Vintage, the attention to detail and flattering pleats without adding bulk. I recently purchased this Puff Sleeve Chambray top and loved these Pearl pink Jeans. I can’t wait to style them for you.

I’ve wanted this tray for a while and treated myself to Acrylic Bed Tray with Handles – a Clear Laptop Bed/lap Desk.

One of my favorite hat brands is having a warehouse sale Gigi Pip with up to 70% off, and I scored this Hat LIEUTENANT CAP – NAVY WITH GOLD  NOW $ 20.40 Was $ 68.00

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

|For your Entertainment|

I am finishing up the 3rd book, “The Southern side of Paradise,” In the Peachtree bluff series, and loving it. I highly recommend any of Kristy Harvey Woodson’s novels if you haven’t read them. She writes so detailedly, with fun characters you can relate to.

 Binge-Worthy shows

If you want a couple of binge-worthy shows, I just finished Genny & Georgia on Netflix Crazy, what kids are going through and what a mom will do for her kids. If you like a murder mystery and suspense, YOU Is a pretty crazy show with twists and turns. In the 1st & the 4th season, we’re the best. Unfortunately, 2nd and the 3rd felt a little like serial killers!

If you love fashion and haven’t seen Mrs. Harris goes to Paris♥️ It’s a must! About a maid who sets her eyes on A Dior gown and saves and saves on purchasing a custom-made Dior gown at the house of Dior in the 1950s.

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood.

What I DIDN’T do to prepare for…Midlife🌸💕 I Didn’t What I DIDN’T do to prepare for…Midlife🌸💕
I Didn’t Worry about it…

Really, why worry about aging… instead YOU can prepare for it!

Knowledge is power, and Midlife now is completely different than how our mothers and grandmothers dealt with it. 

We have more information, conversation, products and help on the topic than generations before.

What you can do to Prepare for Menopause/aging….

-Eat well, 

-Exercise 

-Get outside and get real vitamin D 

- Drink lots of water

-Take supplements that will help the processes

- Ask questions

-Go to a Hormonal Doctor

-Share what works for you with Friends💕

- Get more Protein and Fiber

- Get sleep (it’s hard but figure out what works for you)

💕These are just a few things that can help! (I am not a Doctor) just sharing things I have found that really make a difference.

I am all about A Granny Summer… This COCO has bee I am all about A Granny Summer…

This COCO has been gardening what feels like my whole life, my mom loved gardening and her English gardens were beautiful, her tomatoes and herbs always yummy;) she taught me what each flower & veggies types were and how to grow & care for them etc. 

She would teach our boys “how to smell”  not really, but she would walk them around had have them smell each flower and how they smelt differently.. they’re puffing noses were so cute❤️

Gardening has always been apart of my life , every home, it was fun to rebuild and create… Try new things, depending on the land etc. it’s hard work, yet relaxing and so rewarding…. 

Over the years, I taught myself how to seed my flowers and veggies, what I could dry and harvest, how to can, what I liked to bake with, and  what freezes well. 

I would teach our boys, have them help pick apples and berries, take them to garden shops and have them pick favorites and let them plant, they would dig and help pull weeds… 

Gardening isn’t just for Grannies… it’s a hobby or career you can pick up at any age, but I have to say,  I can’t wait to take our NEW Grandson out to the gardens and learn, dig and plant…. He’s only 6 months and we already know he loves nature, and he loves plants.. he’s at peace in nature and loves to touch all the different plants and trees… he  loves the leaves slightly blowing in the breeze…. He’ll just stare, It’s so cute! 

With age, I do enjoy it more, as I enjoy the slower moments and the time gardening takes…

How about you? How do you feel about gardening?🌱🪴🌻🫛🪏🏡🧑‍🌾🫜⛲️
