Madewell Sale, Spring & Summer Must-Have’s

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. I’m hopping on for Thrifty Thursday and sharing an unusual Thursday blog post rather than a Friday, as the Madewell 20% off sale in the Like to Know It app starts today and goes until the 13th. I didn’t want you to miss this opportunity to grab some of my favorite picks you’ll wear all Spring and Summer on sale. 

You’ll love the pieces I picked out during a little try-on haul at Madewell in California this week. They’re perfect for Spring and Summer. These pieces can be mixed and matched, and they’re ideal for Memorial Weekend, BBQs, picnics, Travel every day, and Summer Holidays. I love the red accessories for a pop of color. View the Try-on HERE

I did this fun try-on with my girlfriend Danielle while in California, and I should have shared her try-on with you as well! I’ll share her picks below, as they looked darling on her and will on you, too. She’ll be shopping these pieces on the sale today as well.

On another note, my week in California was jam-packed, and I’ll share all about it next week.

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

Hello, Pretty Ladies. I hope you’re having a great Sunday. We’ve had some beautiful days in Utah and plan to go on a scenic drive after church today. The kids are coming for Sunday dinner. We’re making chicken tacos with all the fixings, including my delicious homemade guacamole and pico de gallo. Recipes are HERE.

Today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I share another family favorite: my 5-Ingredient Easy Chocolate-Coated Strawberries Recipe. It’s an easy recipe, tastes yummy, and looks like you spent a lot of time making it. I like to take these to parties, add the charcuterie boards, and make them for gifts. I know you will love these treats like my family does.

Watch My How to Video HERE

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

🍓5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 🍓 

-Strawberries ( I like good size ones)

– 1 1/2 Cup 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 chips, add 1 Tbs Butter and 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 the strawberries are dipped, you’ll decorate them with white chocolate. You’ll make the white chocolate the same way you make 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 had no bag, So I drizzled the white chocolate on the berries.

Tips for add-ons:

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

Refrigerate for 2 hours, then serve 

Tips on how to serve:

Tip: pretty on Dessert Boards, charcuterie boards to decorate other desserts, and pretty on a cocktail 🍓

The Best Crunchy Chicken Salad Recipe

The Best Crunchy Chicken Salad Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend. The weather in Utah has been beautiful, and we’ve been spending a lot of time outside working on spring projects and craving salads. With that being said, for today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I am sharing a salad recipe my family often craves. The Best Crunchy Chicken Salad Recipe I’ve taken this salad to parties, and none are left. 

The Best Crunchy Chicken Salad Recipe

Crunchy Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

6 Chicken Strips cut into strips ( I use the chicken stripes at our local market deli) (set aside to top salad)

One bag classic Romain

A bag of hearts of Romain chopped

One head of butter lettuce chopped

2 On Vine Tomatoes cubed

2 -4 Avocados cubed I like one per person) (set aside to top salad)

1/2 1 sizeable English cucumber cubed

1 Green onion bushel cut

1 Cup blue cheese crumbles

3/4 cup crushed hazelnuts

Top with fresh ground pepper

Option- Add Two cups of chopped cooked Bacon

Balsamic vinaigrette dressing of your choice or Homemade, I make this recipe. 

How to serve:

This salad makes four large salads if you are having it for dinner as a main course. If so, I make four salads in individual bowls by dividing the ingredients evenly. If serving as a side or taking to a party, I add everything to a large wooden salad bowl, mixing the lettuce with a good toss. Then, I layer all the ingredients except the salad dressing and let people add that to their liking.

—It’s no secret I love bread and butter with a pin —It’s no secret I love bread and butter with a pinch of French flaky salt-

Let me tell you, @bonruebakery
Does it right✔️

They Started with a baguette….🥖 and grew to a full French Bakery … serving beloved French pastry’s, breads and delicious sandwiches and salads.

Using the best French ingredients- Down to the delish French milk chocolate for their chocolate croissants 🥐 

Ben and I had the pleasure of attending a fun “French flea market” pre-opening event. To preview and sample the menu.

We made it a Date-night, with incorporating a beautiful scenic Fall🍂Drive to attend this fun event. Perfect evening🖤

Gorgeous drive, yummy food, great music and amazing local vendors- from local honey and jams, delicious olive oil & vinegars, beautiful flowers, and handmade cards. 

Thank you @bonruebakery for hosting us, for a little touch of Paris in the heart of Provo,Ut.

Stay tuned for @bonruebakery opening in more locations in Utah .

Meanwhile TODAY October, 10th is the grand opening of their Provo location 

Located across the street from BYU…

Do you have a small grandchild or baby? This is Do you have a small grandchild or baby?

This  is a fun and easy project
To capture their small foot print forever 🖤

Turning those tootsies into a spooky little treasure to cherish for Falls to come.

Make on for yourself and one for the parents😉

You’ll need:

-A fun nature print or vintage barn canvas… Something that looks like fall without being Halloween.

-I found a barn canvas at vintage market days and I found a fun print I could frame for my DIL.. Search vintage shops, goodwill and even the big box shops have affordable framed canvas, that could work

- Washable white paint , I used

-Med size foam brush 
-Paper plate

I put little man in the high chair with a snack and painted one foot at a time, lifted him out and pressed foot on canvas. 

Remeber to have artwork upside down, so the toes will be the bottom of the ghost on the Art. 

I then placed him in the chair again, did the other foot and repeated with the other foot. 
Pressing this foot a little higher than the other..

Making it look like two little ghost flying:)👻👻👻

-When dry 

- With a black sharpie pen put two dots on the heels of the foot print🖤

Enjoy….

Do you like little seasonal projects? Or projects you can do with your grandbaby?
