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.

Have a beautiful day, pretty ladies,

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.

Creamy Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus Recipe Recipe

 

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

 

Creamy Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus Recipe Recipe

I was diagnosed in December, Surgery in January and my first laser in February.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

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. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 6 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

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?🌱🪴🌻🫛🪏🏡🧑‍🌾🫜⛲️
