Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you have a beautiful Sunday. I am currently working on some collaborations. You can get a sneak peek this week over on Instagram. I am excited to share what we’ve been working on and a giveaway….Exciting Holiday content is also coming your way.

My plate is complete, and I feel the hustle and bustle of holiday prep. I am pushing myself to get everything done in November so I can enjoy the month of December. Ben and I are heading on a pre-holiday cruise from December 4th to the 16th, and we’re excited. Yet, it is a lot of pressure. I want to be ready with our family coming into town on December 22nd.

Today, I thought I’d share a fun and easy way to serve dessert this Holiday season. Watch the Video HERE. ( I think it turned out so cute.) If you watch it, let me know by commenting on it. I would appreciate it.

I love sharing cute and festive ways to help you entertain easily, even if it’s just for your family. That can be done quickly. I know many of you have a lot going on, and time goes by quickly. This cute dessert board is festive and comes together in minutes. Especially having Fairytale Brownies and delicious gourmet treats delivered to your door. Makes a great Holiday gift as well.

Easy Four Ingredients Recipe: To have Your Home Smelling Like William Sonoma

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday. I hope you’re having a beautiful November so far. It’s been chilly in Utah this week, and we even had a little snow dusting. Thank goodness that didn’t last, as I am not ready for that yet. I’ve been busy trying to prepare for the Holidays; some of you may know I decorated several homes for the Holidays and all my clients like their homes decorated before Thanksgiving.

This makes November the busiest month for me, between decorating and styling for clients ( I shop for them as well), decorating our home, creating content for you, and getting gift guides ready to help make your shopping easier. Honestly, I love what I do, and having the goal to have everything done before Thanksgiving helps me enjoy the month of December and take in the special moments of the season.

Here are a couple of tips I have for enjoying the season.

This week, I am getting our Christmas cards ordered and am almost done Christmas shopping; this has helped me create excellent gift guides for you, as I will be sharing many of the items I am giving this year. (If you follow my stories on Instagram, you’ve already seen several.)

I aim to have everything wrapped by the end of next week; my Holiday Wrapping paper should be here from All Wrapped Up in the next couple of days. This Is what I chose this year: ONE & this ONE. I have always pushed myself to finish shopping and wrapping, as I love seeing the gifts under the tree. Again, this is another way to enjoy the holiday season. It takes away some of the season’s stress, and it goes by so fast that doing everything early really makes a difference.

Why is it okay to start Christmas prepping early?

They say it’s earlier and earlier every year. What I do for a living has to be getting content and ideas done in time to share with you, but in reality, it’s beneficial to prep way ahead, taking away stress and giving you more enjoyable moments. Yes, it’s a lot of work, but it’s better to spread it out than force it all into 20-ish days.

It gives me time to bake or host a gingerbread-making night with the family; I can have a party for my girlfriends without feeling like I have so much more to do. Our family can see the lights in Salt Lake City and the Giant Gingerbread Houses at the Grand America.

One of my favorite things to do with my hubby is to go to a pretty mall to take in the festive feels of the season, have lunch, and not need to purchase anything, but If I see something I can pick up, I do, without having to check anything off a list. HINT (This is when my hubby shops) It’s a great way to get your hubby to the mall:)

Today’s Sunday Recipe:

Now That I’ve filled you in on a little behind-the-scenes and my thought process, let me share a Fast and easy recipe today for making your home smell excellent with items you probably already have on hand. Watch my video HERE

Easy Four Ingredients Recipe: To have Your Home Smelling Like William Sonoma

Fill the pot with water, add ingredients, and simmer on low.

Four Meat Chili Recipe

Happy Sunday!

Hi Pretty Ladies,

Happy November! Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here. I hope you had a great Halloween. I spent it with a couple of girlfriends, wishing a good friend goodbye as she’ll be moving out of state in a few days. It was a fun night catching up, sharing good food, and having a couple of glasses of prosecco. My girlfriend’s home is in a neighborhood that gets trick-or-treaters, so seeing the cute littles in their costumes was fun.

Can you believe that the next day, I took down and packed up the fall and Halloween decorations and started decorating for Christmas? But I am doing it with more of a winter feeling. Fresh herbs and citrus, pinecones and greenery with candles and velvet ribbon, and pulling out my vintage green transferware. My Holiday decorations are buried in my storage this year; usually, my storage room is organized (this year, it’s packed to the brim)

With content creation as my job, I have to have our home decorated way before the season to share ideas and the season with you. Not to mention, Thanksgiving is so late this year that if I wait too long, I won’t enjoy the season. I also decorate Christmas trees for several clients, who all want theirs done before Thanksgiving, so I got a good jumpstart.

My four-meat chili recipe has been a family favorite ever since. It’s below. I also had to share some great sales you don’t want to miss and a few things you could have missed this week.

Thank your support and for being here.

A Few Fall Favorites

FallA Few Fall Favorites

Hello Pretty Ladies,

It’s officially Fall! Wow, I think that was the fastest summer ever! I love summer and Fall—my two favorite seasons—and they seem the shortest here in Utah! Fall means my birthday month is coming. I have my Fall bucket list ready and am looking forward to crisp mornings and evenings and the stunning shades of the season.

Today, I am sharing some fall favorites for our monthly blog hop with Suzanne, Cindy, and Dawn.

I will keep this one short and sweet! Below, you will find all the fun things I want to share, including my family’s favorite recipe for this easy pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe and a few things you could have missed. (I’ll be sharing the sunflower field later next week.)

Sharing a great Fall transition outfit, you can easily style multiple ways, and I thought I would share with you two ways to style it by just switching out the 3rd piece. Here are the details:

Sale Alerts: Chicos wide-leg crop pants are $44 and perfect with a bootie. The pants fit tts. I am wearing a size 4 Chico’s size 0, which pairs perfectly with a bootie for Fall.

-Bootie is a Dolce Vida two-tone with a little Western vibe (last year), linking similar Here

-Olive button-up Amazon find

-The Amazon denim shacket jacket is slightly distressed, affordable & fits tts, and is perfect for summer to fall weather

-A necklace, a vintage horn

-Hat is by lack of color

The 2nd look is everything above, with the jacket switched out to the ivory Denim jacket by Chico’s

Easy & Hearty Minestrone Soup Recipe

Happy Sunday!

Hi Pretty Ladies,

September is here, meaning Fall is officially here on the 22nd. I am soaking up the last days of summer, but I am ready for fall days ahead.! The leaves have started to turn. Here in Utah, I had my first pumpkin spice latte last weekend and added a little fall decor to our home.

Our son got married on 8/24/24. It indeed was magical and everything we hoped it would be. I shared a lot about the destination wedding on Instagram in the feed and stories; in case you missed it, I saved them to highlights] You can view a couple of posts by heading over to Instagram

I will keep this one short and sweet today! I’m sharing my favorite homemade minestrone soup recipe below, which you can make in a crockpot or on the stovetop.

Hearty Soup Recipe:

Minestrone Soup Recipe

One chicken broth

One can of crushed tomatoes

Three diced tomatoes (I used from the garden)

One can of kidney beans (rinsed)

1 cup frozen green beans

1 cup asparagus tips (frozen)

One Cup of diced spinach

1 cup diced carrots

1 cup frozen peas

One Cup of onions (roughly)

1/2 fresh diced basil

One tablespoon of balsamic vinegar

1Tablespoon crushed garlic

Two bay leaves

One teaspoon of garlic salt

One tablespoon of rosemary (I used fresh from the garden)

2 cups of pasta (elbow macaroni or

Leave out until about 20-30 min before serving) You can also prepare it separately and scoop it into a bowl (this is great if you have a lot to freeze or have leftovers). The pasta expands and sucks up all the broth.

Add to crockpot on high for a couple of hours, then turn to low

Stirring every so often.

Salt and pepper to taste

When serving

Top with Parmesan cheese

Add meatballs for an even heartier dish. Recipe HERE

Serve with Garlic bread, garlic knots, or a fresh loaf of French baguette with salted butter.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you Cheering on the USA? Today, I share a fun and easy Patriotic Lime & Berry Spritzer. Make it a cocktail or mocktail..either way, it’s festive and yummy. Perfect if you’re throwing a closing ceremony party

I hope you had a great July! It went way too fast, with the 4th of July, Our Son’s Birthday, a couples getaway, and a girls’ trip! We’re in wedding month; our oldest gets married on the 24th. I can’t believe how fast a year went by. Exciting times and a month ahead!

Summer does need to slow down.

Today’s little catch-up

The Nordstrom sale ends TODAY. I shared my picks on several prior blog posts; most are still available or have been restocked! So, many get items to grab at deep discounts.

Cheering on the USA Cocktail Idea

I’m sharing a fun and easy Patriotic Lime & Berry Spritzer. Make it a cocktail or mocktail—either way, it’s festive and yummy. It’s perfect if you’re throwing a closing ceremony party. Something I love about this cocktail is the fruit-filled ice cubes; they are complete and pretty, making cocktails easy. Adding flavor to your ice cubes takes away work later, and you can make several cocktails at a time.

Recipe:

Raspberries

Blueberries

Mint

Limeade (I like Trader Joe’s sparkling limeade)

Raspberry sparkling water

White rum

You’ll need larger ice cube trays; I like the round citrus-shaped ones, an Amazon find I use often. Grab them HERE

Making the Ice Cubes: Fill the trays with raspberries, blueberries, and a mint sprig, then top off with raspberry sparkling water and freeze.

Creating the cocktail:

Place 1 or 2 ice cubes in your glass, add a shot of rum if making a cocktail, pour limeade over, and stir.

(If you don’t like your cocktails very sweet, use 1/2 limeade and 1/2 Raspberry sparkling water) It’s that easy

To make it a mocktail, add ice cubes and limeade.

If you don’t have Trader Joe’s sparkling limeade, use regular limeade in the freezer section, make it as directed, and then add sparkling water.

💕Remember, Wearing a smile is your most important accessory!

Easy Berry Lemon Tart Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

— My Twist on An Easy Berry Lemon Tart Recipe—

Are you hosting or headed to a Party for the 4th? I have an easy and fun twist on a lemon tart. Perfect for the 4th Easy Berry Lemon Tart Recipe, a recipe that is light & fresh, has a little crunch, and tastes so good. It is easy to make and looks so festive for the 4th of July. Trust me, you’ll use my Lemon Curd whipping cream on everything.

I was playing with a recipe for this dessert. I had all these beautiful red and blue berries, and I always had heavy cream and a jar of lemon curd. However, I didn’t have pie crust on hand, and I was lazy and didn’t want to make it from scratch. I did have some fillo dough on hand, so I thought I’d create a dessert for Sunday dinner to test out on the family.

I could have served the berries with just my lemon curd whipping cream because that is so yummy! It’s excellent with pound cake or any white or yellow cake as well. WATCH MY VIDEO HERE

The Families Vote:

Ben is Dutch and loves European desserts. He loved them! He said he loved the little crunch and that it reminded him of Europe.

Hudson and Kayla loved it and the little twist. Hampton liked the berries and whipped cream (he’s not really a pie or pastry lover, so I was expecting that). Now, as for me… I love a good pie crust and even like a thicker doughy pie crust, so I missed the crust. So, with that said, I loved how easy it was to make, and it was beautiful and fun to try something different.

Ingredients:

Fillo Dough followed the directions on the package. You could also use puff pastry, Pie crust, or pre-made mini tarts.

– 1/2 cube butter melted

– Fresh berries= Strawberries🍓Blueberries 🫐 Blackberries and Raspberries sliced

-Fresh Mint 🍃

– 2 Cups Heavy Cream 🍨

-1/2 cup – 1 cup Powdered Sugar

-Lemon Curd: I like Bonne Maman

: The Design I created to use on each

: The way to cut each fruit

: Fresh Berries

Quick overview on How to prepare and assemble

Assemble Fillo and bake according to the direction.

Wash berries and let dry.

While Fillo dough is baking, make Lemon whipping cream (recipe below), chill whipping cream, and slice berries … (raspberries and blackberries in 1/2, Strawberries into thin slices, and blueberries left whole.)

Make yourself one of my Berry lemonade spritzers 🍋🍃🫐 Recipe HERE, While the dough is cooling…

Once the dough is cooled, the fun part begins… assembly 🍨🍓🫐🍃

Add a generous amount of lemon whipping cream to the baked dough… and decorate the tops with fresh berries and mint to look like flowers🍃🫐🍓

Chill until ready to serve

You can dust it with powdered sugar for a little extra touch!

I adore my kitchen aid mixer and use it every week. A must-have! Mine is on sale HERE

It’s a slightly different version and under $250, which is an amazing deal. HERE

Lemon Curd Whipping Cream

2 cups heavy cream cold

1/2 to a cup of powdered sugar. (Make it as sweet as you like)

Three large tablespoons of lemon curd

Place whipping cream in a mixer and mix until it starts to peak. Add powdered sugar to your liking and mix into stiff peaks. Then add the lemon curd and continue to mix until blended. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.

🍨🍋 My Lemon Whipped cream is so good served with a tray of fresh fruit and delicious with pound cake for an even easier dessert! It’s also great on ice cream and on top of a lemonade cocktail.

This week, Ben and I head to Colorado for a gateway, and Kayla is heading out on her Bachelorette trip, which means Hudson will be alone.

-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

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

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. I’ve taken this salad to parties, and none are left.

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.
