How to Make Easy Creamy Garlic Mushroom Pasta

How to Make Easy Creamy Garlic Mushroom Pasta

Hello pretty Ladies, 

 Today’s Sunday Dinner recipe for my series on Instagram, “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy.” It is A delicious and easy Creamy garlic mushroom pasta.  View the Video Here.  If your family is anything like mine, they love a good pasta dish, and this one is rich and delicious, with great flavor. It’s also very easy to make, yet it tastes like you’ve been slaving in the kitchen for hours. I like to serve it with a fresh green salad and garlic bread. Enjoy

 

How to Make Easy Creamy Garlic Mushroom Pasta🍝

Sauce Recipe:

1 cube butter

1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic

1/2 cup diced onions

2 baskets of Mushrooms (I like to mix two mushrooms of choice)

2 cups heavy cream

Romano cheese 

Parmesan cheese

Asiago cheese

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup of White wine (if you wish)

Freshly cooked bacon crumbles

Start by sautéing onions with garlic in butter over medium-high heat. Cook them until translucent, and then add the mushrooms. Season everything with salt, and black pepper, then cook until the mushroom has reduced in size and become golden brown. (Add 1/2 cup of wine if you wish)

Next, add cream and cook until the liquid is

Creamy After, add the cheeses, 1 at a time, and lower the heat to medium. Simmer the sauce for 3- 5 minutes or until the cheeses are melted.

✨Pasta cook as directed on the package

I used Fresh pasta from @duecucina in @shoptotemlake 

Cooking with a @hexclad pan from my Amazon shop.

A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear

A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear

Cabana life resort wear year recap

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you headed on Vacation? Sharing today A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear. Resort wear with Cabana life SPF 50 clothing for the whole family, perfect if you’re headed somewhere warm🌴✨ In 2023, I know I have planned a couple of vacations. If you follow me, you know I love to travel and am always looking for an adventure.

I am sharing a year recap of Vacation resort wear🌴🌸 The piece I love traveled so well, looked great, and you could wear it from the pool to lunch or shopping! I was lucky to have traveled a ton in 2022 from Florida, California, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, Seattle, and several weekend getaways. Cabana Life clothing came with me on every trip.

Protection from the sun without having to apply harmful sunscreens is essential, as I have dealt with skin cancer. 

I love that most of the pieces can be transitioned to other seasons and dressed up or down! Check out my Travel recaps for more on every 2022 travel destination. Not only do I share how I styled each piece and what I loved about it for that trip, I give you some great travel tips and must-visit places to eat and see.

A Dutch Dish:

Chicken Schnitzel with Homemade mashed potatoes and baby peas! Served with or without gravy! One of  The Vandenberg’s favorite dinners and makes a perfect Sunday dinner! This Chicken is so good you won’t want to eat Chicken any other way😉

I know some of you are going to comment… Schnitzel is a German dish…yes, it is with pork! The Dutch created the twist with Chicken 😉 My hubby’s family has been making it for years, which is one of our family’s FAVORITES.

So, pull out some chicken breast and make this yummy Sunday dinner❤️

Chicken Schnitzel Recipe for Sunday Dinner
Chicken Schnitzel Recipe for Sunday Dinner

 

Recipe: 

-4 Chicken breast (pounded out thin)

-3 eggs (whipped) add salt pepper

-Bread crumbs (about two cups) 

We like Italian by Progresso  (a tip I add a tablespoon of garlic salt & onion powder)

-Butter- to fry Chicken in, about 1/2 cube per side…

Pound out chicken breast (thin). TIP: (cover in Saran Wrap) to avoid splattering ✔️ crack eggs and whip with a fork in a bowl. Add bread crumbs and seasoning to a separate bowl—dip chicken in egg, then bread crumbs. Heat the skillet, add 1/2 cube of butter, and let it melt. Add Chicken, flip when golden brown, and add the rest of the butter… done when both sides are golden brown.

Serve with Homemade mashed potatoes, baby peas, and gravy.

 

Let me know if you try this recipe in the comments. What would you love a gift guide of? I’d love for you to tell me in the comments. You can also find me on Instagram, Pinterest, Liketoknowit, Amazon shops, and Facebook.

8 Must Have Best Sellers

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope you are having a great week. I went from A business trip in Washington creating content to a business trip in California for the Amazon creator summit this week. It’s been a whirlwind, and I can’t wait to share all the exciting content and things I’ve learned with you in the upcoming weeks. So today, I am sharing this season’s must-have gifts, also best-selling. 

 

This season 8 must-have Gifts🎁 You know those gifts that everyone wants? Those gifts you have to search out, wait in lines, and that sell out so fast because everyone wants them?🎄  These are on that list for teenagers and adults. 8 Must Have Best Sellers/ Top sellers 🖤

8 Must Have Best Sellers

8 Great gift ideas they really want:

Spanx faux leather leggings–

Faux Leather that flatters. This best-selling style features sleek, smoothing faux leather fabric that shapes and lifts and our contoured Power Waistband for core compression. I size up and love these with an oversized sweater and blazers with button-ups! Styling Inspiration HERE HERE
 

Lululemon Sherpa belt bag–

Why this is perfect=Phone, keys, wallet. Keep them close in this versatile belt bag that helps you get out the door and on to your next adventure. great on vacation or running errands. comes in black, brown, or ivory. Here is the Amazon Dupe for $27.00 HERE

 

 

Volcano candles–

Best known for their iconic Volcano scent (have you smelled an Anthro store?), Capri Blue is so much more than a candle crush. With 1,000+ 5-star reviews (and counting!), the Mississippi label’s intoxicating fragrances, striking vessels, and clean formulas – proudly designed and poured in the USA – create an evocative experience for the senses. 

 

Buttery soft blanket barefoot dreams and dupe…

Add cozy detail to your living room or bedroom décor with an irresistibly buttery soft blanket from sumptuous microfiber for around-the-clock cuddling. Barefoot Dreams is worth the price, but I have to say the dupe is on Major sale right now and so good! Grabe the Dupe HERE

 

Chanel Hand cream–

LA CREME MAIN TEXTURE RICHE absorbs quickly while restoring and protecting. Skin feels comforted and appears visibly nourished. Renewing and brightening iris pallida protects the skin barrier and helps diminish the appearance of dark spots. Hydrating and softening May rose wax leaves a moisturizing, protective veil on the skin for lasting benefits. Shea butter and glycerin moisturize skin and help maintain optimal hydration levels.

 

Silk hair scrunchie–

Mulberry silk scrunchies for hair keep all hair types healthier and more manageable by reducing the friction that leads to frizz, breakage, and hair loss. Celestial Silk scrunchies are more comfortable than normal hair ties and help prevent hair creases. Not just practical – silk is always luxurious at $17.99

 

Stanley 40oz cup–

Shop Stanley insulated drinkware & gear! Quencher H2.0 Travel Tumbler lets you sip 40oz of your favorite drink through a reusable straw.

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope you are having a great week as we wrap up the first week of November. I wanted to share a recipe my family loves that makes a great side dish for the holidays. Creamy Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus Recipe is a great vegetable side dish for Sunday dinner, but I found it’s a dish that gets gobbled up at the holiday meals and when I take to a potluck style party. This will surely be a hit for you at your table or next party, even if you don’t like Brussels sprouts.

Creamy Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus Recipe Recipe

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 ⚠️
