Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope you had a great week and a fun kick-off to summer. I’ve been trying to get caught up from my last two back-to-back trips, and I am excited to continue to share some of the fun travel adventures and outfit inspirations with you. I’ll do future blog posts with recaps and vacation details soon. I’ve shared some fun Reels, outfits, and stories on Instagram. 

Last week I shared in stories my Chicken Bolognese with Burrata cheese Pasta Recipe in stories and had so many of you want it in writing versus a show and tell in stories. It’s one of my hubby’s favorite pasta dishes and is so good and easy to make. You could whip it up in under 30 minutes, but the longer it simmers, the better it tastes. I’d love for you to let me know in the comments if you make this recipe. 

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Chicken Bolognese Recipe

1 pound ground chicken

One onion white or yellow chopped

1 28oz Cento crushed tomatoes

1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes

EVOO to coat the pan

Two tablespoons of Italian seasoning

One teaspoon of Johnny’s garlic season

1 to two tablespoons of fresh garlic 

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

One tablespoon of kitchen bouquet browning seasoning

One tablespoon of dried chopped onion

One bay leaves 

One teaspoon of dried basil 

One teaspoon of garlic salt

One container of Burrata Cheese

Heat a large saucepan, add olive oil, and ground chicken. Chop up the ground chicken; I love this chopper. Once golden brown, add a kitchen bouquet and stir until all chicken is coated. Add Italian seasoning, chopped onions, brown, chopped/crushed garlic, and more EVOO if needed. Once browned, add tomato, stir, and then add all the other ingredients except burrata cheese. Let simmer on low and cover. Stir every so often, the longer you let simmer, the more favor.

Serve over any pasta you love. I like this over Rigatoni (when pasta is ready), add cheese to the sauce (break up cheese), and stir into sauce. 

After the pasta is drained, add pasta a little at a time while stirring into the sauce.

Serve with a green salad and my delicious homemade garlic bread Recipe here.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Have a beautiful new week, and thank you for taking the time to stop by and read.

Hello pretty ladies,

Happy Memorial weekend, I hope the weather is beautiful where you live, and you’re doing something fun to celebrate the Holiday weekend.

Today’s “in the kitchen with D’Arcy” Sunday recipe share, I am sharing my easy Grilled Lemon pepper & garlic chicken with you. Perfect for kicking off BBQ season this Memorial Weekend ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 You can view my reel here.

Sunday Dinner Recipe Grilled Lemon Chicken

—Easy Sunday Dinner—

Grilled Lemon pepper & garlic chicken Recipe:

Chicken breast ( I like thinly sliced)

1/3 cup olive oil 

Juice of 2 lemons & 1 Lime

One lemon sliced

One tablespoon of Lemon pepper season

1/2 teaspoon Black garlic seasoning

Lemon pepper citron seasoning (I do about 3 -4 Shakes)

1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder seasoning

In a 9×12 dish, coat the chicken with olive oil, making sure to coat both sides. I also like like to poke the chicken with a fork to help marinate soak into the chicken. Next, add the juice of the lemons and lime, again making sure to coat both sides of the chicken. Then add all of the seasonings making sure to coat both sides. Cover with plastic or foil, place in the fridge until ready to grill. I like to prep in the morning to allow time to marinate all day. Grill on medium heat. If thin, grill for about 13-15 minutes. If thick, chicken about 9/10 minutes a side.

Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time

Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time

Hello Pretty Ladies,

How did your first week of May go? It flew by for me I can’t believe Mother’s Day is going to be here next week. Do you have fun plans? I haven’t figured out what I want to do yet:) the kids keep asking what I would like to do. Happy to just be together, but I guess there must be food:).

I created a couple of Mother’s Day gift guides over on my LIKEtoKNOW shop and on My Amazon Shop if you are needing some inspiration. Items I love and often give them as gifts as well. 

Today’s in the “kitchen with D’Arcy” Sunday recipe share, I am sharing with you my easy no-fail Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time. This is not your traditional Quiche recipe. I have a couple of shortcuts that do not affect the taste of the quiche. My family loves this as part of a brunch (I served this at Easter) or as a yummy dinner served with a salad. You can alter the veggies and the cheeses to create several different variations, even add bacon or ham.

 

Quiche Recipe Under 30-Minute Prep Time

Recipe for Quiche 

2 cups small mushrooms, sliced 

1 1/2 cups mixed veggies, (such as raw spinach leaves and cooked broccoli and asparagus} I used Mushrooms & Spinach

6 large eggs, lightly beaten 

1 1/4 cups heavy cream 

1/2 cup green onion

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 

1/4 teaspoon ground garlic

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

5 to 6 grinds of black peppercorns

1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese 

1/4 cup grated white Cheddar 

1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 

frozen pie crust or pie dough (Bake as directed)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray; set aside.

  2. Whisk eggs, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Fold in the mushroom, spinach, onion, garlic, seasonings, and cheese. Spoon into the prepared pie pan. Bake until set and golden brown, about 30-45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes; slice. Garnish with thyme and serve (I wrap the edges of the pie crust in foil until the middle is almost done.)

This is a very unconventional way to make Quiche, and I assure you it is so good and cuts time in half. I do not pre-cook the pie crust, nor do I pre-cook the veggies.

Their French Baguettes are excellent, too, as well as the mozzarella balls or log. While you are at Trader Joe’s, grab the balsamic glaze too. Best price around.

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy April and Sunday, my friends. I am sure you have figured out I share a recipe on Sundays. Are you a carrot cake lover? I have the best carrot cake recipe that is tried and true. This is a recipe I have made for years and family approved. Do you want a cake that is such good people ask you to make it for them? This is the one my hubby asks him to make him. This is the cake I make for his Birthday.

This Carrot cake is perfect for Easter; it can be made into cupcakes, two loave pans, a bunt pan, two rounds, or one square. So, you can get creative and decide which look you’d like to have for serving. 

Ben and I have tried many carrot cakes, and only one has come close to this recipe; trust me when I say, My carrot cake recipe is so good. I know you’re going to love it.

I created a REEL you might want to watch.

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

 

Carrot Cake Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 Cups Flour

2 Cups Sugar

1 1/3 C Vegetable Oil 

4 Eggs

4  Cups Grated Carrots (Tip: the bag of Shredded carrots at the market is 4 cups)

2 Teaspoons Cinnamon 

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2 Teaspoon Baking Powder 

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

3/4 Cup Walnuts. (1/2 cup extra , chopped to garnish if you wish)

2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

In A Mixing Bowl

Preheat oven 350. Beat Sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and add oil until thick. Add in flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in Carrots and walnuts. Pour in the greased pan or pans of choice. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, depending on the oven.

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

Cream Cheese Frosting:

8oz Cream Cheese

One Stick/Cube of Butter 

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

1 Box of Powder Sugar ( you won’t use the whole box) I use 3 cups 

*Double the frosting recipe if using a bunt pan, two round pans, or two loaf pans.

In A Mixing Bowl

In a mixing bowl, beat Cream cheese and butter until light; add Vanilla, then add Sugar to taste while mixing. (Sugar is to taste as some like it sweeter than others.)

Frosting The Cake

Let the cake or cakes cool on a cooling rack. Once cool, flip on a plate to remove it from the pan. Once completely cool on a plate, use a frosting spatula, and frost the cake. Embellish cake with chopped walnuts or carrot shavings. If you are good at decorating, add little carrots.

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you’re having a beautiful Sunday. Someone keeps shaking the snow globe we seem to be living in, in Utah. I am quiet over winter and ready for sunshine, green grass, and flowers. 

Yesterday was our youngest son’s 20th birthday. So naturally, Hampton requested chocolate-covered strawberries as dessert; I had to oblige. Thank goodness his birthday is when strawberries are in season; at least, when we lived in California, they were. We’re lucky our grocery store carries California strawberries, and they happened to have large ones. The larger ones are more fun to dip and have for a main dessert.

I thought you might like to know how I whipped up a batch of chocolate-covered strawberries, in case you haven’t tried making them yourself. You can also watch the REEL I created, So easy and yummy. If you are a home baker like me or just starting, check out the baking list on my Amazon Shops.

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries

5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 
5 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

Recipe

-Strawberries ( I like good size ones)

  • 1 1/2 Cups 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 chip, add 1 Tbs Butter &  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 strawberries are dipped. You’ll now decorate with white chocolate.

You’ll make the white chocolate the same way as 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 didn’t have a bag, So I drizzled the white chocolate on the berries. With a spoon.

TIP:

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

Dipping Strawberries Size Tip

Using medium or small-sized strawberries to dip works excellent on Charcuteries boards and as a decoration on another dessert and is superior to garnishing a smoothie or cocktail. Large Strawberries make a great main dessert.

—Vlog— Surgery Day How I prepared the morning of —Vlog—
Surgery Day

How I prepared the morning of surgery to remove my 
Melanoma Cancer on my face…

A few things that helped me for the 4-6 hour surgery day.

-Started day with Warm lemon water 
-Prayers, Devotion and journaling. (This helps start your day off right and with strength and peace)🙏🏻
- My Doctor suggested having high protein (I made A high protein Smootie with High antioxidants & Vic C for healing

- Washed hair & styled as I wasn’t sure when I would get to take a shower & wash hair,due to Stitches & bandages on face.

- Essentials, ear buds to listen to a podcast or audio book, my lap top in case I wanted to watch a movie, ice water, a protein bar, lip gloss, a charger and a hair tie❤️

- Comfortable Clothing 

If you want more details on my Melanoma Journey 💪🏻I have two LIVES🎥 in feed SHARING the details the day before, on what to look for, what the difference is between skin cancer and melanoma, what mine looked like and  What procedure the surgeon is doing , as what we did prior to prep, and answering questions-labeled Part one in feed and I am wearing a denim top.
&
-The day after surgery- sharing how it went, results, how I felt, a peek at how far the stitches went, what care is, and next steps as well as answering a ton of questions I received in DMs.  That one you’ll see the bandage on my face😉

I am being very real and authentic with you in sharing this journey, to help spread awareness on the importance of having your skin checked by a dermatologist.🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

While also showing how smoothing so small can take a lot of work to be removed, while also showing…. It will be ok, and you may feel scared and think you’ll never look the same, but you can be brave, trust the process and we’ll heal and look normal again:) It just takes time😉❤️💋💪🏻🙏🏻

Update: Today is 7 days after surgery and I had my stitches taken out yesterday! 
Now the real healing begins. 
I finally had a decent nights sleep, my face is swollen, I don’t look like Frankenstein anymore😉 and although the scar goes from my under eyelashes to my jaw, it looks better then I thought it would. It’s pretty flat and the Dr, who stitched me up did an amazing job. ❤️#melanoma

5 Days of Family Fun … Wrapped up in 20 Photos✔️ 5 Days of Family Fun …
Wrapped up in 20 Photos✔️

I can’t tell you how fun the last 5 days have been full of family, adventures, building memories and reminiscing of past. 

Although we do try to get together often, this was one of those rare times, we actually had more time, more intention and something Nana, really needed more then ever❤️ 

No rushing, no drama just togetherness and enjoying each other …

Along with some fun Utah activities and places. It truly was a great time together ❤️

I’ve been sharing a lot in stories 🎥

Planing a trip to Utah?
Here’s a few places and things we did, that everyone enjoyed.

@thegrandamerica (the cocktail lounge is where we surprised nana) beautiful hotel, great cocktails & live piano & harp music- gorgeous lights and the Laurel restaurant is so good.

@proskijor  Horse & Ski Event in Heber (2 day event) 2 dates and locations on calendar for Utah 

Midway -a cute little Swiss town next to Heber, with great restaurants and little shops. @ballerinafarmstore  is located here and a must stop.

Park City & Deer Valley- Great Ski town full of everything you’d expect and more. @jcrew had a Olympic Clothing collab pop-up (I had to check out) 

With a large group & perfect for Car  enthusiasts Billy Blanko Mexican restaurant can accommodate you and it’s a very fun vibe part of @billwhiterestaurants 

@themercantile_on25th  is a great brunch & The girls loved the iced lattes 

@snowbasinresort is our local ski resort (my families fav) Stunning lodges with good food to hang out in , if your not a skier and amazing terrain if you are🎿🚠

I’ll be sharing more details and a few more fun things later this week……Wait tell you see what the highlight of everyone’s Trip was….I bet you can’t guess💙💙

It’s something EVERYONE loves and can’t get enough of 💙

#familyfirst❤️ #familyvacay #utahtrip #wintervacation
Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing family can bring❤️🙏🏻

When 6 Grandchildren & their spouses along with parents traced from 3 states to surprise their Nana….

Not only did they get the reaction they hoped for…. They gave her what she needed❤️❤️

It’s been one year since we lost Papa and this surprise lifter her sprints more than they could have hoped for. 

5 days of family bonding, sightseeing in Utah with love and a lot of laughter! 

I highly recommend a family surprise visit to help lift a family members spirit.

There wasn’t a dry eye 🥹in the lounge at the @thegrandamerica 
One of the waiters came up and said “I knew something special was going to happen… Was the sweetest thing to watch🥹❤️”
He even thank all of us❤️❤️❤️

(I think he wanted to hug Nana too😉😂)

The joy of family, family heals, lifting your spirits

The changes and the similarities from 10 Years ago!

Sharing 20 photos… looking back at Instagram trends, fashion, what photos caught people’s attention, what I shared back then and some pinch me moments! 

Still having pinch me moments as a midlifer, in a career that didn’t even exist until 2010 and really didn’t start picking up steam until 2015/16

Isn’t that crazy… and think of all the new careers still to come….
