Dear D'Arcy

By D'Arcy Vandenberg


Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Hello pretty ladies, 

March is coming to an end; can you believe it? It went by pretty fast, considering it snowed daily here in Utah. Praying April is a new weather trend and that we get Spring. 

  I hope you have been enjoying Friday round-ups, as it’s been fun for me to share everything and brain dump! If you like a more personal connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my Newsletter. You can sign up . I send it out every Sunday.  

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

 

|A couple of things I’ve loved lately|

Below is an outfit I’ve been wearing on repeat. Eyeing this Free People Top, Vintage Bebe Pleated Long Sleeve Button-up Selected by Nomad Vintage, the attention to detail and flattering pleats without adding bulk. I recently purchased this Puff Sleeve Chambray top and loved these Pearl pink Jeans. I can’t wait to style them for you.

I’ve wanted this tray for a while and treated myself to Acrylic Bed Tray with Handles – a Clear Laptop Bed/lap Desk.

One of my favorite hat brands is having a warehouse sale Gigi Pip with up to 70% off, and I scored this Hat LIEUTENANT CAP – NAVY WITH GOLD  NOW $ 20.40 Was $ 68.00

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

|For your Entertainment|

I am finishing up the 3rd book, “The Southern side of Paradise,” In the Peachtree bluff series, and loving it. I highly recommend any of Kristy Harvey Woodson’s novels if you haven’t read them. She writes so detailedly, with fun characters you can relate to.

 Binge-Worthy shows

If you want a couple of binge-worthy shows, I just finished Genny & Georgia on Netflix Crazy, what kids are going through and what a mom will do for her kids. If you like a murder mystery and suspense, YOU Is a pretty crazy show with twists and turns. In the 1st & the 4th season, we’re the best. Unfortunately, 2nd and the 3rd felt a little like serial killers!

If you love fashion and haven’t seen Mrs. Harris goes to Paris♥️ It’s a must! About a maid who sets her eyes on A Dior gown and saves and saves on purchasing a custom-made Dior gown at the house of Dior in the 1950s.

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.

Happy Sunday, pretty ladies!
The first day of Spring is tomorrow, and it doesn’t look like the weather in Utah will cooperate. More snow in our forecast.
I was able to catch a little sunshine in St. George this last week, while on a much-needed girl’s trip with my mom. Although not warm, it was nice to see the sun. Catch a little peek at our Trip Here.
 
I am really looking forward to warmer weather and all things spring. Sharing a little recap on today’s newsletter. Did you know I have a weekly newsletter? You can sign up .

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread

Cheaters Homemade garlic bread

Hello, Pretty ladies.

Today’s Sunday recipe is one of my Family’s all-time favorite garlic bread! I shared a little of their reaction below. I hope you try this recipe, and let me know in the comments. Have a great Sunday. 

 

Homemade Garlic bread!

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread! This is so dang good I have to make two loaves for this Family of 7!

Garlic Bread Recipe:

Loaf Rhodes Frozen Bread

One cube butter

One tablespoon of  minced garlic

 Tablespoon (1) Garlic Seasoning

1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning

NOTE: This Bread is not for someone on a diet 

How to:

First, Place the frozen loaf on a cooking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover it with a linen dishtowel.

(or cheesecloth) let rise. (follow directions on the bag) Bread rising usually takes ALL day. I’ll get this ready at about 9:00 am to make for dinner around 6:00 pm. When risen, bake at 350 until golden brown. (follow the directions on the packaging.)  While Bread is baking, melt a cube of butter in the microwave, then add garlic and seasoning and mix. 

When the Bread is out of the oven, brush on a heavy coating of the Butter mixture. Let excellent for about 10-15 minutes slice (Bread will still be warm and will sink, it’s ok), then coat each piece with more butter mixture. Serve hot and almost gooey. 

Family’s reaction:

This Bread is a family favorite, and when my family sees it on the counter in the morning, they jump for joy. They’ll eat two whole loaves; if I made three, that would get eaten too. It’s so rich, soaked in butter and garlic. It’s heavenly! I serve this Bread with soups, Pasta, and even salads. If you watch my stories, and I hope you do, you’ve seen me make it several times while staying at home was in place. ( heck, probably one of the reasons I’ve gained 10 pounds!) 

How did it get its name? Well…Cheaters because, well, you cheating and not making the loaf from scratch! Nobody’s got time for that! Insert Giggle! Hence, I named it My Cheater’s homemade garlic bread.

 

Thank you

A Dutch Dish:

Chicken Schnitzel with Homemade mashed potatoes and baby peas! Served with or without gravy! One of  The Vandenberg’s favorite dinners and makes a perfect Sunday dinner! This Chicken is so good you won’t want to eat Chicken any other way😉

I know some of you are going to comment… Schnitzel is a German dish…yes, it is with pork! The Dutch created the twist with Chicken 😉 My hubby’s family has been making it for years, which is one of our family’s FAVORITES.

So, pull out some chicken breast and make this yummy Sunday dinner❤️

Recipe: 

-4 Chicken breast (pounded out thin)

-3 eggs (whipped) add salt pepper

-Bread crumbs (about two cups) 

We like Italian by Progresso  (a tip I add a tablespoon of garlic salt & onion powder)

-Butter- to fry Chicken in, about 1/2 cube per side…

Pound out chicken breast (thin). TIP: (cover in Saran Wrap) to avoid splattering ✔️ crack eggs and whip with a fork in a bowl. Add bread crumbs and seasoning to a separate bowl—dip chicken in egg, then bread crumbs. Heat the skillet, add 1/2 cube of butter, and let it melt. Add Chicken, flip when golden brown, and add the rest of the butter… done when both sides are golden brown.

Serve with Homemade mashed potatoes, baby peas, and gravy.

I bet you won’t believe me!! Guess where I found I bet you won’t believe me!!

Guess where I found these Darling Lemon Plates?🍋

Would you believe the Dollar Store for $1.50 each…

They had matching dinner plates, bowls and mugs… But Honestly…

A Great TIP is just to buy the Salad plates… Having an assortment of Themed or decorative salad plates can really change up your regular china for the seasons..

It’s an affordable tip that goes a long way, if you have A solid color china.

Plus a salad plate could also be used for a bread or dessert plate. 

I also like a little salad plate to serve a little breakfast muffin, bagel or croissant on…. 

You know I am a big advocate of romanticizing your everyday life and have a mixture of seasonal, yet affordable dishes can do just that…Don’t save your good china for “that” special occasion…. Use it daily❤️

Head to stories to see my inspiration for this weeks table, the floral arrangements I created for this week’s Flower arrangements for our home & Sunday dinner table scape… and what’s going to be on the menu for Sundays dinner 🍋

The pants I wanted to HATE… Meet the slightly bar The pants I wanted to HATE…

Meet the slightly barrel leg linen trouser,
Flattering, comfortable, so cute and on SALE…

I have said it before …that I didn’t like barrel jeans on my shape, as I’ve tried several and they just weren’t flattering on my ruler shape body….

Until I found these… they’re just the right amount of extra fabric, with out adding bulk and aren’t to high of a waste, that there so flattering…
Now, I am 5’91/2 so they’re a touch to short, but look darling with and adds balance with an tall ankle strap square block heel  sandal 🖤

The cutest denim top with puff sleeves, that hits right at the hip bone for a flattering balance. 

Statement earrings that match my shoes to perfection are from Chicos (older) I found some very similar you’ll love🖤🖤🖤

Pants are on sale (ends tonight)

Drop it like it’s HOT…. Balancing Menopause and m Drop it like it’s HOT….

Balancing Menopause and midlife can be tricky✔️

From weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights, dry skin and lady parts, hair loss, eyesight issues, bone loss to personal summers (hot flashes)….. 

Boy hitting 40-50-60’s sounds fun 😅🤣 Actually, it really isn’t that bad, and life is what you make of it, Plus  getting old is a privilege….

In today’s time, we’re lucky because menopause is a Topic WE TALK about NOW, and we have more information and resources to HELP us, unlike our mothers.

Not everyone has every symptom nor do they experience every symptom. 

This is a topic I’ve shared a lot about over on my blog and in future more on my substack (join for free in my bio) 

Below ⬇️ are a few things I’ve found very helpful from my journey over the last 10 years to now, starting at about 44 years old.

-A Homeopathic Hormone replacement specialist- I went at 44 when I gained 12-15 pounds for no reason, had hair loss and wasn’t feeling like myself and went on Bio- identical hormone replacement for about 4 years and the weight feel off and I started to feel like myself again. I stopped I. 2020 due to not being able to get to doctors.. 

-Start a good clean supplement program (not a Doctor) but here’s what helped me.
Magnesium- zinc- Vitamin D3- vitamin K 
-a good women’s multivitamin - 
B-12 shots- Collagen- Colostrum- bone marrow- probiotic, a cranberry supplement and - creatine - NAD- primrose (I have a few others I take as well) full list is on blog 

- Doubled my water intake - (140-160 oz a day) added Fiber- chia seeds- pinch of salt to it … (I do 1/2 teaspoon baking soda twice a week) 

-Daily walks and I added a weighted vest about 4 years ago 

-A cup of warm lemon water to start the day 

- I shoot  for 100 grams of protein daily (I don’t always get this) I just try to get close

-Scalp treatments - Rosemary oil and rosemary supplements 

- Coolnight pjs and cooling sheets  I don’t get or experience hot flashes, but sleeping cooler help me sleep better❤️

- cleansing oil & after Shower oil help with dry skin

-Red light therapy mask helps facial skin and neck

- Derma-planing face helps skin texture and for products to sink in
Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey Here’s a couple thi Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey 

Here’s a couple things I’ve learned on my Journey that I thought I’d share with you I found interesting and very helpful..
 ( now, I am not a doctor) these are things I’ve researched and though I’d share my findings, but you can do your own research :) 

I share in hopes to bring awareness and the importance of getting your skin checked at least once a year.

‼️ 2 things:

-The importance of taking zinc— zinc supplements helps your body give off a natural defense to the suns rays.

⚠️ Like anything I need to stress how important it is to read your labels and start using clean Supplements.  You want to get what you’re paying for and not “fillers” verses the actual minerals and herbs.

- A clean beauty mineral based 
Sunscreen with a high level of Zinc! READ your labels and the ingredientsll

MOST sunscreens have harmful ingredients and hormone disruptors in them! I have 5 brands I love that me and my family use  over on my Liketoknowit or you can comment “shop” and I’ll send them to you.

To know:

⚠️ I get my skin checked twice a year and since being diagnosed with melanoma, I now go every 3 months.

Since my surgeries, I’ve had 2 laser’s treatments to help with scaring (shown in slide 2 is my 2nd surgery) done 6 weeks ago.
I actually should have my 3rd laser done this week, but I moved it to July 1st. 

To be honest I really am not in the head space to deal with another treatment this week! 🙏🏻 I told you I’d be very honest with you in this journey, and it is a roller coaster of emotions… Laser treatments sometimes trigger that for me.

- Laser treatment can be done every 6 weeks

⚠️I have 6 parts of my journey up in my feed, 3 of them pinned to top the others you’ll have to scroll through feed and I have detailed highlights as well. 

I hope you find these helpful

POV: The Turkey sandwiches I make All summer long POV:
The Turkey sandwiches I make All summer long my family loves🥪

Not your ordinary Turkey, Avocado, tomato sandwiche🥪🥑🍅

First off the Key to these delicious sandwiches is warm crusty bread straight from the oven yet soft on the inside..

My tip is a French baguette ran under water (a tip my Mother in law taught me 33 years ago) placed in the oven for 5-7 minutes- seriously, makes it like you made it fresh… 

-Boards head spicy pepper Turkey freshly sliced from the deli
- Farm Fresh Tomatoes salt & peppered 
-Micro greens (or sprouts) 
- Peppered jack cheese (or your favorite)
-My Smashed Avocado spread 

Full recipe on my blog

A perfect summer meal to serve alfresco🪴🍽️
 
Serve with your favorite sides 
I served with my :
-Basil corn salad 
- a small charcuterie board
- my easy Blue cheese stuffed grape on a walnut appetizer

 A long  with your choice of sun tea - cucumber mint water or  a sparking water 🥤🍃
