Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

This is my easy and oh so delicious Avocado toast recipe. Fun Fact: I was not too fond of avocados until a couple of years ago. I was not too fond of the texture. Now, I eat one every day and could eat this Toast every day! I am not going to chat today. I am just getting to the recipe!

Avocado Toast Recipe:

You’ll need the following:

1 Avocado Cut up and mashed, seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning.

2 slices of Toast buttered (We love sourdough)

1 Egg scrambled or cooked the way you liked. Salt and peppered! (I had a little shredded cheese on my Egg)

1 Farm fresh Tomato sliced and seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning

Assemble:

Make sure your Toast is toasted well. This helps the bread from getting soggy. I also like my Toast buttered.

Once you have all of the above prep, Egg cooked, Toast toasted and buttered, Avocado cut mashed and seasoned, tomato sliced and seasoned. You assemble.

I like to spread the Avocado first. This acts like glue for the Egg; add Egg, layer tomato, and sprinkle with a bit of extra bagel seasoning!

That’s it! Taste fantastic and better than any restaurant Avocado toast! (I am sure the key is butter, everything bagel seasoning, and a farm-fresh tomato)

Shop a couple of Kitchen Items I love below:

Avocado Keeper (trust me, it really works)

Everything Bagel Seasoning

Jumbo Size Everything Bagel seasoning for $12.99

3 Card Games For Datenight

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you have a great start to a new month. Can you believe it is August, and fall is fast approaching? I thought it was that time again to share a date night idea. You know I love spending time with my hubby and that we love a good date night. I try to share with you every so often fun date nights. Below I am sharing 3 Card Games For Datenight!

One of them was my favorite as a kid as we played UNO as a family and at all the holidays with relatives.

3 Card Games For Datenight

A bit of quality time can go a long way when it comes to deepening your relationship. The Gottman Institute states that dedicating two hours a week to romantic dates, including playing games or having meals together, is fundamental to creating a happy and healthy relationship.

Playing games can also be necessary for newer couples who want to break the ice and learn more about each other. After all, there’s always something new that you can learn about your partner, no matter how long you’ve been together!

So whether you’re getting to know each other or simply finding ways to liven up your dates, here are a few card games that can help you break the ice:

UNO

UNO is a well-loved card game that’s both fun and nostalgic.

In fact, UNO is a part of many family traditions and can be an exciting conversation starter. The rules remain simple and consistent: you can shuffle the deck before providing seven cards to each player. Then, you’ll take turns drawing a face-up card from the rest of the stack so that you can match one of your seven cards with the number or color of the face-up card. As you take turns drawing and matching cards, you can take this opportunity to talk about fun childhood memories regarding UNO. By taking your partner through memory lane, you can learn a bit more about each other and have a lot more fun while doing it.

Texas Hold ’em

Sometimes, you need a bit of competition to break the ice.

If you and your partner want some friendly competition, you can learn how to play Texas Hold ’em by going over the game’s rules together. In this poker variation, you and your partner will have to create the best five-card hand out of a set of seven cards: the five community cards that are revealed to all the players and the two hole cards that are unique for each player.

Poker players typically bet their chips based on the ranking of their own cards, but you can make your date even more fun by betting a funny dare or offering your partner’s favorite things as a prize instead. By raising the stakes in a creative way, a simple game of poker can lead to more fun experiences during your date.

Bridge

You can also break the ice by inviting another couple and playing a card game on your double date.

Renowned tennis player Martina Navratilova plays bridge socially and has found that it helps her quickly meet new friends. This social aspect means it’s also an excellent option for helping two couples bond with one another. Since teamwork is crucial in this card game, you and your partner will need to plan and coordinate accordingly so that you can deal with both of your hands well. By the end of the game, you’ll come out with a much better rapport.

Actually Curious

Got a question that you’ve always wanted to ask your partner about? Try playing the Actually Curious card game.

Creator Michael Tennant created game mechanics that lower players’ defenses and egos and allows players to speak with greater openness and intent. They are playing the Actually Curious card game challenges individuals to answer thought-provoking questions with honesty while also teaching the other party how to harness their empathy and active listening skills. Trying this game on your date can help you gain a deeper understanding of each other and grow much closer.

Card games can make your date even more interesting by providing thought-provoking questions or even a bit of a challenge. By playing one of these card games, you can make sure that you’re having the most fun while you’re in each other’s company.

What made this even more exciting is Dawn with Party til Dawn, a long-time social media friend who works with one of their sister properties Totem Lake in Washington. She was flying in so we could work together on covering the Grand Opening of Mountain View and a little bit of Station Park.

Talk about the perfect opportunity to Mix Business with Friendship…Dawn and I met on Instagram and became fast friends. We have a lot in common; our styles are very similar, we’re both midlifers, love our families, think a lot alike, and work for some of the same brands. We also both have working relationships with the Center Cal group. Not to mention texting each other daily. But, meeting each other in person was just so exciting.

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing The recipe & How to make Elvis’s Favorite Sandwich, On Good Things Utah, for a promotion for the upcoming Elvis movie. So, my first time, I’ll be sharing a recipe on tv. However, I am used to sharing fashion, so I might be slightly nervous this time. (Wish me luck!)

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I share recipes and cooking in my stories. I love to cook for my family and share it with my followers.

A funny thing…My hubby the other day made a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and I said, “oh, you’re making the Elvis sandwich!” He said, “what?” Ben had no idea that was Elvis’s favorite Sandwich! He said, “how do you know that?” I told him I had heard it years ago when I was a kid and never forgot it. My mom adored Elvis. I am sure it was her that said something. It’s a southern thing!

Now, Elvis liked his Sandwich grilled and made with a lot of butter and even bacon fat! So I am making it without the bacon fat and a little less butter! But feel free to make it the Elvis way!

Watch the Tv Segment on Good Things Utah

The Recipe:

Elvis Presley’s Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Two slices of white bread

2 tablespoons butter

1 small ripe banana mashed

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Directions

Place two pieces of white bread in the toaster on a light setting. Heat skillet over medium heat with two tablespoons of butter. While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, using a fork, mash the ripe banana until it reaches a smooth consistency. Using a knife, take both pieces of the toasted bread and spread two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, topping one side with the mashed banana. Place one slice of bread on top of the other, forming a sandwich. Place sandwich in a hot skillet, browning each side and flipping with a spatula for about 2 minutes per side. Take out of the skillet, slice on a diagonal, and serve on a plate.

Tip: This would be good drizzles with warm chocolate or honey. This Sandwich is warm, delicious, and gooey. You might want to eat it with a fork.

Tips on packing light & stylish:-

Packing for a weekend can be daunting And overwhelming, not to mention over-packing. A great way to avoid over-packing is to pack items that mix and match well. Along with items that serve a couple of purposes.

For instance, Soma Soft Wrap can be worn as loungewear, a lightweight jacket over a dress or paired with jeans, or with your workout wear. You could even use it as a bathing suit cover-up.

The Soma Cotton gauze robe could be worn as a robe, bathing suit cover, and as a duster pair with jeans and a tank.

Packing items that can serve a dual purpose really helps keep packing easier and lighter.

It’s that time of year again where we’re thinking of dads & hubby gifts for Father’s Day. I know so many struggle with gift ideas for men. Being a boy mom, I think, makes it a little easier for me. Because I am always on the hunt for gifts my guys will love. So today, I am sharing 5 thoughtful gifts and 5 purchased gifts that my guys love.

There are a lot of great ideas out there for men, especially if they have hobbies, the Golfer or Skier, Beer or Coffee Enthusiast. The office worker and the Car guy.

Whatever your dad is into, they make something cool that would make for a great gift. It is about thinking about what dad likes to do or how he likes to spend his time.

5 Thoughtful Gift Ideas

Make his favorite meal. My guys love food, as the saying goes…” A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!” So cooking his favorite meal on his special day is thoughtful and always a big hit.
Have his car detailed. Having your car detailed is a big treat, although all my guys like to wash and care for their vehicles. It shows your care to have his car cleaned and professionally detailed.
Do “His” chores? Do you and your Hubby have chores you each do? You know the drill… Hubby mows the lawn. Do you do laundry? (or another way around) Whatever his “chores” are. You and the kids do them.
Do an activity your Hubby likes to do, Go for a drive, a bike ride, boating, golf, etc. However, he wants to spend extra time and do that as a couple or as a family.
Give him a Massage. My Hubby loves massages, facials, and all the pampering. Pamper your Hubby.

5 Gifts You Can Purchase

Gift ideas from Lululemon you can purchase for your Hubby he will love no matter what his hobbies, style, or taste are like. All of my guys love and use these things, and they are so happy to get them as gifts.

Lululemon Shorts = Comfy made for Running, training, or stretching. Wear these lightweight, multi-sport shorts for pretty much everything. Zippered storage keeps essentials close. My guys wear regular Summer shorts. They love the comfort. Shorts come in several colors. Bowline short is great too.
Restfeel Men’s Slides=Dual-density is cushioning provides maximum comfort and support, and Minimalist strap upper with foam lining for an exceptional fit and feel. Great for poolside, but awesome after the gym or sports, excellent after a long day on your feet. Under $60
Always in Motion Long Boxer= Comes in 2 lengths, 5″ and 7″. These boxers feature an ergonomic design and super-soft, quick-drying fabric for total comfort while working out or on the go. My guys love these, and it’s all they want to wear. No other underwear will do. The 3 pack is a better value.
Pool Short= Dads need a new swimsuit every year too! This isn’t just a swimsuit. Lululemon created these streamlined swim shorts with thoughtful details that make them perfect for a day in (or out) of the pool.
The Fundamental T-shirt=When tech and comfort collide. This wardrobe staple blends soft cottony fabric with our abrasion-resistant and anti-stink technologies for a classic tee that’ll last. The tee shirt he’ll always want to wear. T-shirts Come in several colors.

Build Your Own BLT Bar Perfect for Summer Dining

Build Your Own BLT Bar Perfect for Summer Dining

Hello pretty ladies, With Memorial Day this weekend & beautiful weather starting to arrive, Patio dining is starting to kick off. I thought it would be fun to share one of my family’s favorite Summer meals with you that’s easy to prepare and perfect for Patio dining.

A build your Own BLT bar. There is no need to slave in a hot kitchen, and a great way to enjoy the yummy Summer tomatoes from the Farmer’s market. Building a food Bar has proven to be a fun way to serve meals and hits with all my following on Pinterest. View my Pizza Building Bar, and Baked Potato Bar

You’ll need:

–Sourdough bread (or bread of your choice) we like lightly toasted

–High-quality Bacon ( I purchase at our local Butcher). I like to have four strips of Bacon per sandwich

–Ripe Tomatoes (farm fresh or, locally grown) sliced ( I like to have two per sandwich). Tip: salt and pepper them

–Iceberg lettuce or Roman for a good crunch

–Ripe Avocado ( sliced )

–Sliced cheese. I like to have pepper Jack and cheddar

Condiments

-Spicy mustard

-Mustard

-Mayo

Make it a meal!

Serve with:

Serve with a side of fresh fruit and your favorite chips. If you like potatoes salad or macaroni salad, that makes a great side dish.

Great Cooking Tip:

Tip: To cook Bacon easy and with no mess… cover the cookie sheet with tin foil and lay out Bacon on a cookie sheet and cook at 400…. No mess, easy cleanup, and no slaving over a hot stovetop.

BLT serving BAR:

I like to lay everything out like an assembly line… then everyone can build their own sandwich with all the items they love. Also great for a big crowd. You can get as creative as you want, use your fun serving pieces or paper and plastic depending on your style.

I have used all of my white serving pieces and used my kitchen island that is closet to my back porch. Making it easy for them to form a line, create their sandwich, and head to the porch to eat Alfresco.

I love a meal you can eat with your hands, which makes for easy clean-up. Build Your Own BLT Bar Perfect for Summer Dining is just that. Hoping you have a beautiful & safe Memorial weekend.
