Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #13

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Where did October go? I think that was the fastest month ever. November is another crazy month that flies by and I can’t believe we are now 7 weeks away from Christmas. I am in full Christmas mode, not that I want to skip Thanksgiving, but because I love to enjoy the month of December. So, I take November to do all my Holiday prep. This way I can enjoy the season and spend time with family and friends without all the pressure that we moms have.

I have found over the years prepping and preparing has really helped me enjoy all the things I love about the Holiday season. We can enjoy a decorated home, entertain guests with ease, have PJs & Christmas movie days in front of the fire, bake Christmas treats, Go to Holiday parties, Head to the Mall to just window shop & take in the hustle and bustle of the Holiday, and have a Holiday date night, see a Christmas program, and drive around to see Christmas lights without the ” To Do List” haunting my brain.

I love to cook for our friends and family and will be hosting Thanksgiving like most years, and my goal every year is to be ready for Christmas by Thanksgiving. I am off to a great start. I’ll be sharing my progress here and on Instagram stories.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Hoping you had a great week, and that you’ll have a great weekend. I am headed back to California, to my hometown for a celebration of the life of a great man who will be dearly missed, my oldest and dearest friend’s dad passed away, and we are going to celebrate him and the incredible life he lived. I stopped along the way to pick up my mom and will head over the rest of the way together. So, needless to say, a bittersweet homecoming for sure.

I am however excited to hug my girlfriend’s neck and spend time with her, and give her support in these times. It’s a treasure to have a childhood friend since you were 10 years old, it’s a different kind of bond and friendship. If you know, you know:)

Friday Favorites and Weekend Sales #10

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend. It’s beautiful here in Utah, and I am looking forward to a fall foliage drive with my hubby and lunch out. I am now one week and two days post-operation and a little tired of being at Home. The little outing will do me some good.

Other than that, I feel better every day and must remind myself that I can’t do everything I am used to. As I am sure you are aware, we moms go go go and do do do, and we do have to take the time to heal when we have something wrong with our health. Slowing down and taking the time you need to heal is okay. I keep reminding myself of this daily.

Today’s Friday Favorite: I share five things I have loved and used several times during the week, including some items that make me happy. Do you have some things you use daily that make you happy? Sometimes, it’s just the little things.

Today’s Friday favorite’s

5 Favorite’s

–Ribbed knit set– A Two-piece outfit set is perfect for daily wear, so cute worn with a blazer, denim jacket, or plaid shirt. It comes in several colors and fits true to size.

–Buxom Lip gloss -Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream Gloss is a creamy, shimmer-free lip gloss that visibly plumps the appearance of lips with a tantalizing tingle.

–Travel case makeup large Capacity Travel Cosmetic Bag for Women, Makeup Bag Travelling PU Leather Cosmetic Bag Waterproof, Multifunctional Storage Travel Toiletry Bag Skincare Bag

–Stanley Tumbler-Stanley’s Deco Collection Quenchers are here to turn up the joy all year round. Decadent in gloss color finishes with bold, gilded accents, this collection reimagines the glamorous deco days.

–Cassorole Dish– Made of textured stoneware in a choice of finishes, our round pumpkin-shaped casserole baker includes a lid with a gold-finished stem handle. Available in harvest orange and elegant white colors, this covered casserole heats evenly without hot spots and retains moisture well for excellent roasting and baking. Its two handles make it perfect for oven-to-table presentations of your favorite fall recipes.

Easy Homemade Spaghetti Marinara Sauce

Happy Sunday, pretty Ladies,

Today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I am bringing you a crowd favorite. My easy homemade spaghetti marinara sauce is yummy but great for Bolognese lasagna; add meatballs, which I use for my Homemade Meatball sandwiches. You can easily substitute canned tomatoes versus garden fresh.

With our garden harvest, I can make several jars of my sauce every summer. I’ll share that process in another blog post.

Spaghetti Sauce

1 28oz can crushed tomatoes or (4-6 fresh tomatoes blended)

1 28oz can of diced tomatoes or (4 fresh tomatoes diced)

2 6oz cans Tomato Paste (garlic basil flavored)

A large handful (or more if you like) Fresh basil ribbon chopped

Two bay leaves

Two tablespoons kitchen bouquet (import for rich flavor and color)

One tablespoon sugar

1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

3-4 tablespoons jar Parmesan cheese sprinkles

1/2 cup Olive oil

One med onion chopped

3/6 cloves crushed garlic

2 Tablespoons Italian herbs

1 Tablespoon Oregano

1 Tablespoons dried Basil

A Tablespoon of Dried onion

One teaspoon garlic salt

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Directions:

Brown onion in olive oil, and add crushed garlic until golden brown. ADD tomatoes, stir, and add paste stir. Add in all other ingredients, mixing them as you do so.

Let this sauce simmer on low all day on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, or simmer down in the crock pot. The longer the sauce simmers, the better. Of course, you could make and serve it for dinner, but this is a proper “Sunday Sauce” your family will enjoy for Sunday dinner.

: garden tomatoes

: garden basil

: onions, garlic olive oil

: blending tomatoes

: Simmering Sauce

: Canned Sauce

Caprese bowtie pasta salad with chicken

Happy Sunday, pretty Ladies,

Today’s “in the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I am bringing you a crowd favorite. This is a dish I take to parties or make for family BBQs. It’s easy to make. You can whip it up in 30 min. Taste great hot or cold and is fantastic the next day to make it ahead.

I love the flavor of Caprese, Tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil. It makes for a great pasta dish and adds grilled chicken for protein.

Caprese bowtie pasta salad with chicken

Caprese bowtie pasta salad with chicken big enough for a crowd

2 boxes (1lbs box) of Barilla mini farfalle (cook as directed)

8 tomatoes chopped

4 chicken breasts grilled and chopped

2 cups chopped white onions

1 cup chopped fresh basil (I would do 2 cups next time)

2 cupped shredded mozzarella cheese

1 bottle of Newsman’s family recipe Italian dressing

1/2 cup balsamic Vineger

1/2 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons sea salt

1/2 tablespoon black pepper

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

Directions:

First, I cook the pasta as directed on the box, Then I marinate the chicken breast in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic, and my hubby grills it on the BBQ. (If planning, I always add extra chicken to the grill, then you’ll have grilled chicken later in the week.) As the pasta is boiling, I cut the tomatoes and onions, set them aside, and mix the dressing with the Newmans, Balsamic vinegar, sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder. When mixed up, add it to the tomatoes and onions, stir, and set aside.

Cut chicken into cubes, and set aside. Strain pasta, add olive oil to the pasta, and stir to keep it from sticking. In a large bowl ( I use an extra large wooden serving bowl), add 1/3 of the pasta, 1/3 of the tomato and onion mixture, and stir. Add chicken, stir, then repeat, stir, and repeat until all the pasta and tomato mixture is added and stir.

This process makes sure everything is thoroughly mixed. Then mix in cheese and stir. Add fresh basil and stir. I like to top it with more cheese and fresh basil. Serve warm or cold.
