Tips to help you create a Holiday Capsule 

TIP #1: You can easily create your own Holiday Capsule wardrobe, by going through your closet and seeing what could work to be festive… and start your rack. Then you can easily create looks with what you’ve put together.

Fabrics of the season satins, velvets, sequins, faux fur, tartan plaids, Pearl detail, and faux leather.

Colors of the season Shades of Red, green, Ivory, metallic, and black.  Even Navy’s & Pinks💕

Don’t forget to Pull out your festive jewelry, bags, and shoes.

These tips also make it easier to know what you might need to shop for. (A great pair of trousers or a festive sweater.) You get my drift.

Tip #2 make sure everything you pulled fits✔️ nothing worse than thinking you have an outfit planned and then something doesn’t fit correctly.

Tip #3 Make sure your@hair do goes with your Outfit… The hair and makeup are the finishing details and finish off the look. 

High neck or detail wear hair up, stunning statement earrings a chic low ponytail or low bun. bare shoulders hair down or 1/2 up. These are just a few hairdo ideas.

Favorite Side Dish Recipes For Thanksgiving

Cooking for the holidays Can be stressful; I hope you try our Family’s favorite side dish recipes that are very easy to make and you can whip up fast. Helping you to enjoy cooking and entertaining a large crowd.

 Favorite Side Dish Recipes for Thanksgiving from our home to yours.

Favorite Side Dish Recipes for Thanksgiving.

Holiday Family Favorite, Nana Holiday’s stuffing (Holiday is my maiden name) I grew up on this recipe, and my Family enjoys it as much as I do. If I take this to a party, everyone asks for the recipe. It’s effortless and full of flavor. 2 essential must-haves make this dish, and you can not substitute. (unless you need to make a vegetarian dish)

The stuffing bread crumbs need to be Mrs.Cubbisons, and you need REAL Butter. I hope you enjoy 3 of our Favorite Side Dish Recipes for Thanksgiving. Because once you’ve made these side dishes, your Family will want them every year like mine.

3 favorite side dish recipes

Below you’ll find our three favorite side dish recipes for Thanksgiving and cooking for the holidays, Stuffing, Glazed Carrots, and Green bean casserole. I make these throughout the year with other dishes, as the stuffing is great for my stuffed chicken breast, and the carrots go great with a Ham or roast beef dish. And the Green bean casserole is a great dish to take to a potluck or a side with any meat dish.

Nana Holiday’s Stuffing:

Large stockpot (bigger than 15qt)

9 X 13 pan Greased     I love this one HERE

Strainer and a large bowl or Pyrex bowl HERE

2 12oz Box Herb seasoned Stuffing mix Mrs. Cubbinson

1 12oz box cornbread stuffing mix Mrs. Cubbinson 

6 cups of Chicken broth (this is a little more than you’ll need) use extra for making gravy

         (Can Use Vegetable broth if need a vegetarian dish)

1 bunch of celery chopped

2 onions chopped

2 cubes butter (plant-based Butter if need a vegetarian dish)

 Two teaspoons of Garlic salt

2 teaspoons Onion salt

2 teaspoons Pepper

Two teaspoons salt

1 Tablespoon of Parsley 

One Tablespoon of Poultry seasoning (or sage) 

1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet (this is a must-have seasoning for turkey and chicken dishes) 

Directions

Add Butter, celery, and onion to the stockpot until softened, then add Chicken broth and all the seasonings to the stockpot and bring to a boil. 

Place a strainer over a Pyrex bowl (or bowl) and pour the mixture from the stockpot over the strainer. Next, add dried stuffing to the stockpot, add all the veggies from the strainer over the stuffing mixture, stir, then slowly add liquid stock to the dried mixture until moist (needs to be able to make a ball, not too wet).

The strained liquid left over you can use to create your gravy for more added flavor. Use stuffing to stuff turkey (your preference) & place leftovers in the greased 9X13 pan, and bake Stuffing at 350 for about 30 mins. I don’t stuff the turkey; put it all in the pan. 

Favorite Side Dish Recipes for Thanksgiving.

Glazed Carrots

These Carrots are so good that non-vegetable lovers will love them.

1 1 /2 lb baby carrots or diagonal cut carrots 

3 tbsp of Butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 cups orange juice

1/8 Tbsp cornstarch

pinch on ginger

Garnish Rosemary or basil

Steam carrots set aside ( if you don’t have a steamer, boil until soft) 

Directions

In a Saucepan, add Butter, sugar, juice, and bring to a bubble. Whisk in cornstarch. Cook until thick, add ginger, and carrots, stir gently, and or into a dish.  Garnish with Rosemary or my favorite basil.

 

Favorite Side Dish Recipes for Thanksgiving.

Not your Regular Green bean casserole 

1 can 10 1/2 oz of Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup

3/4 cup of heavy cream

1/8 tsp black pepper

1/2 cube of Butter melted

4 cups of cooked French green beans (you can use frozen or fresh) Don’t use canned

1 can of French’s Crispy fried onions

1 pound of cooked bacon chopped up

Directions

Mix soup, cream, pepper, and Butter in a 1 1/2 qt baking dish. Stir in beans 1/2 the onions, and 1/2 the bacon. Bake at 350 for 30 min or until bubbly hot. Stir and then top with remaining onions and bacon. Bake for 5 min or until onions are golden.

3 outfit Inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx

Hello pretty ladies, 

Happy start of a new week, and halfway through November. Where does the time go?

We’re officially a little over a week away from Thanksgiving and I feel so behind already.  I am one of those people who likes to have everything done for Christmas by Thanksgiving. This helps me to be able to take moments to enjoy the season without all the stressful to-do’s floating around in my head.

Cooking, baking, and entertaining take up enough time, without also having to worry about decorating, shopping, wrapping, etc, (you know the Mom list!) I highly recommend making Thanksgiving your deadline as it does help you enjoy the Holidays more.

Today, I am sharing 3 outfit inspirations for Thanksgiving with Spanx.  A casual look to look Chic yet comfy, an Everyday preppy look that could also be worn as office wear with a blazer and a Dressier look think Workwear has taken up a notch. Watch the style video HERE

🚨SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX Great free shipping and returns too

3 looks for Thanksgiving

Which Thanksgiving look are you? casual Chic Leggings and tunic- perfect to look put together, yet comfy. If your Thanksgiving is a casual get-together you’ll love this look.  

Casual Outfit 

 SPANX’s New fleece faux leather Leggings or you can wear the Regular faux leather leggings and the Air Essentials tunic. 

Leggings- are supportive yet comfortable and if you live in a cold climate the fleece line is heaven. I got True to size in both (medium)

Air essential tunic- is a buttery soft tunic that feels amazing on, fits true to size covers the bum, and has great detailing. I live in mine.

Everyday Preppy

Air Essentials mock tank 

Air Essentials crew neck sweatshirt over the shoulders & plaid pant

This is a look you could wear on repeat from grabbing coffee with a friend, wearing for work with a blazer, or running errands adding a denim jacket and sneakers. What makes it fun for Thanksgiving is this little preppy vibe that gives it a look between casual and dressy. But a little “more” than a sweater & jeans.

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

November 5, 2023

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.

3 Outfits I’ve styled with the Launch of GLAM by Gibsonlook

Hello pretty ladies,

Can you believe it’s Halloween tomorrow, and the end of October already? I want to know where the fall went! As some of you know I headed to my hometown of Big Bear Lake, California last Thursday for a long weekend to be with my Childhood bestie and her family for the celebration of life for her dad. A bittersweet weekend full of fond memories and a lot of tears. I was so grateful that I could be there and support her and her family.

I arrived home this afternoon to a house full of boxes, and a to-do list a mile long. I’ll be sharing it with you more this week, so if you’re interested tune into stories over on Instagram for sneak peeks. Now, let us get to today’s blog post:

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:)

What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in Utah as a over 50 Wife, Mom, COCO and content Creator💋

Utah Weather in the Spring 🌱
Calls for layers….

Spring weather here can be “Schizophrenic” from a blizzard  To sunny and 60 in a day!

Although we’ve had an unusually strange winter this year, Spring still calls for layers.

Bundling up for the morning, and being able to take pieces off throughout the day, makes a great tip for Utah Springs.

I like classic pieces, in light colors and weights, yet work when layered to keep you warm.

Pieces you can mix and match, great wardrobe builders and add some texture.

- lighter weight & color long Wool coat , looks chic over shoulders, yet not to hot when on (I have a rain coat too) 

-Classic trousers are still trending and a great option to look more polished, shades of cream, tan and camel are great for Spring (works well with pastels too)

- Light weight, thinner ribbed mock neck turtleneck. I love the feel and fit of these. Affordable too.

- Vest are a great Spring layer, and the large Plaid/check in neutral shades keeps in classic and add interest. Yet, light enough for spring for layering and not sweat to death 😂
(I love linen vests too) 

- Adding texture with a fluffy & light fur on one shoulder (well still be seeing fur details for Spring)  Draped on one shoulder does add heat, like wearing around your neck does.

- Classic jewelry in gold & silver mix… and yes, I layered and stacked it on… classic pieces & yet layered gives your look a little edge. 

- Western suede pointed toe booties, elongate the leg, add more texture and keep your feet warmer but not too warm. 

Do you need layers in the Spring where you live?

❤️Follow for more Spring layer Outfits…. I have several style, color and on trend. While classic looks coming your way….

This Chapter…. My Melanoma Cancer Journey Shari This Chapter…. 
My Melanoma Cancer Journey 

Sharing my journey this far…Today, is 3 week post surgery.
 
Being told you have cancer is a roller coaster of emotions…
This is a journey none of us think you’re going to head down.

You can choose so many different paths to let your brain and emotions go…

I choose to give it to God, and to ask for your prayers, along with following my heart.

I knew I needed to stay positive and trust the process.
(Did I have scary thoughts and some tears, YES, Yes I did) 
But, honesty it wasn’t long. 

Once I gave it over, and trusted him and the process, along with asking for your prayers. 

I was at complete peace. Thank you for all my prayer warriors, I know I got the results I did because of you and your prayers. 

I’ve been told, I am strong, a warrior and so brave for sharing my journey. 
Honestly, I truly don’t feel that way at all, I fell like it’s a process to share, to help others and to help it not feel as scary! 

I didn’t know what to expect,  didn’t know what having my face cut up, or knowing what any of the processes or procedures were (I would have loved to have known…)

If I was going through this and these emotions, so were others. 

My hope in sharing  the journey, would help others to know the importance of getting your skin checked. 
In knowing the processes, and knowing we can do scary things, and we can get through them.

They say it takes a village to raise kids, but it also takes a village & prayers to get through life.🙏🏻

Thank you for all your support, love, prayers, DMs and messages of support.
I couldn’t have done it without all of you🙏🏻

Tomorrow is my first laser🙏🏻💪🏻
I’ll share who that goes in stories tomorrow 😉

⚠️Please note Melanoma is a very aggressive Skin cancer and is very different than other “skin cancers” I explained more about this in my prior lives.

⚠️Share this post, if you know someone going through melanoma ⚠️
