Hostess Gift Ideas

Not hosting Thanksgiving this year and headed to a friend or family member? Here are a couple of my favorite hostess gifts to give.

-Meyers counters spray, dish soap, and hand soap with a couple of holiday dish towels (I give the winter pine IOWA scent and these dish towels) since they more than likely be decorating for the Holidays right after. 

–Beautiful Paper plates and napkins in a pretty festive vibe without stating a holiday theme. (The host could use that day for pie/desserts, but if she already had Thanksgiving paper goods) she could easily use for Christmas or New Year’s entertainment. I like these HERE and HERE

If your host serves alcohol, a nice bottle or two for wine or bubbly is nice. I also like to accompany a bottle with a Bottle chiller or champagne bucket or one of my favorite things a champagne saver/topper I love a good Prosecco but if I only want a glass, this keeps it bubbly for days.

Easy Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup & Bread Bowls

Easy Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup and bread Bowls

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Sunday and the start of November. The busy season has officially started. Today I am hoping on real fast to share one of my family’s favorite soups. Easy Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Bread Bowls. I made this on Halloween night, it is warm and yummy and so festive served in these cute pumpkin bread bowls. It would be darling to serve the day after Thanksgiving with homemade Turkey noodle soup from leftovers. 

Have a beautiful & blessed Sunday.

Easy Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup & Bread Bowls

 

Broccoli Cheddar Soup Ingredients

These are the simple ingredients you’ll need to make this broccoli Cheddar soup recipe:

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

½ onion, chopped

¼ cup melted butter

¼ cup flour

2 cups milk (or heavy cream if you like a rich soup)

2 cups chicken stock

1 ½ cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets

One cup matchstick-cut carrots or Chopped (I like rounds)

1 stalk celery, thinly sliced

2 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

salt and ground black pepper to taste

How to Make Broccoli Cheddar Soup at Home

Directions

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

     
  2. Whisk 1/4 cup melted butter and flour together in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Continue to whisk and cook, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk if necessary to keep the flour from burning, 3 to 4 minutes.

     
  3. Gradually add milk while whisking constantly; stir in chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mixture is thickened, about 20 minutes. Add broccoli, carrots, celery, and sautéed onion; simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

     
  4. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted; season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

    * I do cheat and make mine in the crock pot and let it simmer all day. 

    Tips

    There are tons of variations and options to make this soup your own. My family loves it when I add sausage. You can add extra veggies, different cheeses, garlic to your onions, a little seasoning salt to the finished soup, green onions, sour cream, and topped with Bacon.

Pumpkin Bread bowls

I picked up these darling Pumpkin Bread bowls at Great Harvest here in Utah. It’s a local chain that makes these darling bread bowls all season long. Perfect for your fall soups and darling for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Check your local bread and sandwich soups and see if they make them as well. These are not pumpkin-flavored, just regular bread. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

Have a beautiful rest of the week, and thank you for stopping by and reading.

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.

Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #12

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

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

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. 

Easy Homemade Spaghetti Marinara Sauce

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.

🚗Road Trip —Desserts and Pools—🌴🌊🌵🏜️🌺 Last leg of 🚗Road Trip
—Desserts and Pools—🌴🌊🌵🏜️🌺

Last leg of trip…2 days in Las Vegas

- A couple days poolside 
- A couple meals out
-Some shopping (just a little) 
- and yes, we had early nights in…

We’ve been to LV so many times, that we actually don’t enjoy it any more, it’s changed so much over the years, that we actually prefer to have pool time (eat at pool) stay close or at our hotel… Walking the strip is more scary then fun, and the restaurants aren’t what they used to be… people watching isn’t even fun anymore there:(

Lately, We just think of LV as a resting point before we drive the 6-7 long hours home. 

Over the years I’ve shared several amazing LV hotels, restaurants and shopping spots…. Some of those are still good, but several have gotten run down and aren’t the same.  I honestly don’t feel safe in LV and probably won’t have that be a resting point anymore. 

If you’re a gambler or like shows … then LV probably still has appeal, People don’t dress up anymore, the top quality restaurants & hotels aren’t what they used to be, and over priced for what you get. (Trust me we’ve stayed at almost all of the resort’s multiple times) 
I personally think there’s better places to visit. 

😉This is my observation and opinion over the last several times & years we’ve been to Lv. 

How do you feel about Las Vegas?
Have you been recently? 

Sorry, not sorry for my honest review!

Day 3 Road Tripping Itinerary 🚗🌵🌴☀️🏜️ Our Last d Day 3 Road Tripping  Itinerary 🚗🌵🌴☀️🏜️

Our Last day and evening in Mesa,Az before heading to Palm Springs, Ca.

We started out with grabbing a coffee & a little walk, then heading to the pool. Our goal this trip was relaxing in the sun ☀️ poolside☀️🌴While enjoying a little late afternoon early evening easy entertaining and good food…

Late afternoon we headed out to the golf course & then later to go on a garden walk and check out a couple local nurseries, before heading to dinner . 

I love to see what grows in that area and learn a little. Plus it’s always beautiful 🌵🌺🌸🌵Did you know a good size catus is $2,000-5,000 and a decent size Palm tree starts at $7,500 to $15,000 and that was the sale prices.

We had a yummy Italian dinner at @pizzicatausa over looks  the painted mountain golf course. 

 Then we went on an evening stroll at the golf course found a bench by the pond and had a cocktail to watch the sun set🌅🌵🍷
Perfect way to end the day ✔️

If you’re looking for an easy & Relaxing  day, this is a perfect itinerary 

Tomorrow morning we’re Off to Palm Springs, Ca. A 4 hour drive from Mesa.Az. 🌴🌺🚗☀️

Do you like a road trip to be leisurely or to pack in a tone of things to do?
