FRIDAY Top Sellers, Hostess Ideas, AND WEEKEND SALES #14

Happy Friday pretty ladies,

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 in Pumpkin Bread Bowls

Christmas Pj’s for the whole family

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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing a little about my hysterectomy. I am one-week post-operation and feeling pretty good. I could return to some normal activities by how I feel now, yet I know I could do damage and set myself back. It’s also not recommended by the doctors as a hysterectomy is a 6-week healing process… So, I am still taking it easy, reminding myself to rest and let my body fully heal. That’s so hard for us busy “doer” types.

Health Update:

One week today post operation ✔️, I shared a touch about having a Hysterectomy a couple of weeks ago on my live with Suzanne @crazyblondelifeblog. If you want to watch, it’s in the feed HERE. I had a large tumor in my uterus (more prominent than a grapefruit or baby’s head) and an enlarged uterus. The surgery went well, although much longer than estimated. It took 51/2 hours (average Complete Hysterectomy takes 2.5-3 hours). The surgeon also told my family it was one of the most complex surgery she’s ever done.

I have a high pain tolerance, and honestly, I wasn’t in much pain from the Hysterectomy. I was tired, it hurt to go potty, and I had mild cramping. The worst pain was in my shoulder, and I mean horrible pain. What I learned was called shoulder strap, and it’s prevalent after surgery, from the gas that they pump into you for the surgery, which travels up and settles in the shoulder when they set you up. Man, oh man, does it hurt! I wish I had known this was a thing, and I could have prepared, but knowing if I took some gas X, it would have gone away much faster. For me, it took about day 5 to get relief.

Upcoming updates:

I will share more updates and how I feel as the weeks go on, in case you are curious about or may consider having a hysterectomy. It was surprising to learn that 50% of women must have a Hysterectomy. Another big concern is a hysterectomy sends you straight into menopause. I am 51 and haven’t had a period in over a year, maybe two years; I believe I am already in menopause or hopefully past it. I’ll keep you updated as time goes on with the after-effects of a Hysterectomy. I’ve shared my prior Hormone Journey Here

I feel so blessed in many ways…

My surgeon knew I wanted a complete hysterectomy, and I wanted laparoscopic/ vaginal surgery with a 6-week recovery versus the abdominal way with a 12-week recovery.

Blessing #1: God is good, and always in complete control🙏🏻

#2Blessing The Surgeon listened and worked hard to give me what I wanted -versus doing what was easier for them.🙏🏻♥️

Blessing #3: I was scared of surgery as I have never had one… Power of Prayer🙏🏻 from Family and friends. I had complete peace the day before and the day of surgery 🙏🏻♥️

Blessing #4 NO Cancer

#5 Blessing: fantastic family and friends sending love, prayers, meals, and flowers🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 I feel so loved!

Blessing #6 Forced to slow down, which has allowed me to work on things for my business♥️

Blessing #7: I woke up😂

A quick couple of Tips:

-Communicate with your Doctors and surgeon! If you don’t feel you’re getting what you want or need, get a 2nd opinion.

– Ask a lot of questions???

-Make sure they hear you and your concerns!
