4 Festive Outfits I Wore and Loved

The Month of Love

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Welcome February, the month of love and longer days! I have never been so excited to start a new month. This January wasn’t how I was planning on starting the New Year! It was one of our most challenging months as a family, which also showed our strength and love. Thank you to all who sent DMs, kept us in your prayers, and shared your continued support. We truly felt your love and support.

Inspiration to get dressed up

Today, I am hopping into your inbox to recap a couple of festive outfits I’ve worn. Hopefully, this post will inspire you to get dressed. Don’t you love getting dressed up? I’ve always been an overdresser, but I decided in 2025 that I would get dressed up even more and honestly wear and style the pretty clothes in my closet, not just for special occasions. I encourage you to do the same.

Here are four festive outfits I wore and loved. They are suitable for any special winter occasion, such as Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and wedding guests.

I truly appreciate your presence and all of your support. Have a great week, and remember that you are loved and appreciated!

Four Outfits to Inspire

A little sparkle paired with red. Cashmere Sweater| Sequin Skirt| Satin Shoes| Bracelet| Earrings

My hope for 2025 is to share more on the blog and honestly share more ways to help you look and feel good at any age. I have so many excellent tips, tricks, and insights that I want to update these pages. I have much to share and want to take the time to write it down. Thank you for following along on this journey.

Two Ways to Wear a Heart Sweater: Valentine’s Day

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I don’t know about you, but I am so happy we are at the end of January and headed into the month of love. February has a special place in my heart as it is my hubby’s Birthday, our anniversary, and Valentine’s Day. These events give me something to look forward to almost every week, which also helps a winter month go by fast.

Another thing I love about February is the clothing. Hearts, pink and red, bows, bling, romantic and sexy clothing, and all the pretty things are many of my favorite things. Did you know several items will also be on trend for 2025? Which the romantic in me loves! This month, I will be sharing all of the above, and I can’t wait for you to see what I’ve been creating and working on for you.

I am sharing 2 Ways to Wear an Amazon Heart Sweater for Valentine’s Day today. This look can be worn for Day and night by changing the 3rd piece. I’ve talked about the “3rd piece” rule several times, as it’s the 3rd piece that finishes off the outfit.

Turkey Stew and Dumplings Recipe

January 19, 2025

Turkey stew and dumplings Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today is a simple and short recipe blog post.

I hope you’re having a great week and your Sunday is going well. Today’s ” In the Kitchen with D’Arcy” is an easy recipe for using up leftovers, especially for Holiday leftovers. This recipe also makes substitutions easy. Swap out turkey for any beef or chicken protein you may have, and add vegetables.

Turkey stew and dumplings Recipe: You’ll love this recipe, and it’s perfect for using up holiday leftovers. It is a yummy recipe that you can quickly adapt to what you have on hand in your fridge.

Turkey stew and dumplings

Have leftover Turkey?

A yummy twist on Chicken pot pie; if you have leftover stuffing, top stew with stuffing. Bake. Or a more manageable option than making dumplings, cover with Pillsbury biscuits or croissants—even a pie crust. I love that you can get creative with this recipe and use what you have from holiday meals.

Turkey Stew Recipe:

Leftover turkey cut up into cubes (or shredded) I had about two cups left over

1 16ox chicken/turkey or vegetable broth

2 cups water

2 potatoes chopped /cubed

1 cup carrots

1 cup celery

One cup onion

1 cup of peas

1 pack of turkey gravy

One bay leave

One chicken bouillon cube

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon parsley

1/2 cup heavy cream

3 tablespoons flour (save for later)

Add all ingredients except flour!

Stovetop: Simmer on low or in the crockpot. When hot, whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour to thicken.

Topping variations:

Turkey stew & Dumplings.

Cook on stove Top: Add your dumplings to the top once thickened and let simmer until cooked.

I like our dumplings cooked more. I use the method below, as I do for covering them with biscuits or stuffing. You could even use a pie crust for a turkey pot pie.

If using Biscuits or stuffing, once the stew thickens, Turn it off and oil a 9×13 baking dish. Add the Turkey Stew, top with biscuits or leftover stuffing, and bake until the top is golden brown.

Build Your Pizza Bar for a Fun Family Meal

January 12, 2025

Build Your Pizza Bar for a Fun Family Meal

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday! I genuinely hope you’re having a beautiful one. I am finally back home and trying to get back into my routine and be as normal as possible. As some of you may know, we lost my stepdad ( like a father to me and the only Papa our boys knew) on January 3rd. I’ve been with my mom in Las Vegas since then, and on top of that, we decided it was best to get her packed up and ready to move to Utah to be close to Family and not by herself in Las Vegas by the end of the month.

That put a lot on my plate, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Talk about a lot at once and so much change for my mom. The loss of her true love, downsizing, retiring from doing hair, and a big move to Utah all in a matter of weeks. My mom is with my sister in California for a few days ( I took her there and spent a few days with the Family). That was a nice little break from all the packing, cleaning, and sorting.

My Family will head to Las Vegas to meet my Brother, sister, and nephews. Then, we will finish packing up Mom and head back to Utah. Meanwhile, I need to look for a house and storage unit for her. She’ll stay with us until we find something. Please keep us in your prayers.

Build Your Pizza Bar

On pizza night, we used some leftovers and homemade ingredients.

Use up those leftovers and create a Pizza night your Family will love. They can make their own and get creative to try new things. So, if you plan your meals for the week and have a pasta night a few nights before, it works out great. Because I like to space out Italian food a couple of days apart, this helps to use up those little bits of leftovers you may have had.

What you need to build a pizza bar:

Rhodes rolls

Homemade Alfredo sauce recipe here

Homemade marinara or your favorite Jar

Asparagus (leftovers)

Sautés Mushrooms (leftovers)

Fresh Tomatoes

Ham ( leftover Easter) That I had thrown in the freezer

Sausage

Pepperoni (variety)

Prosciutto

Fresh sliced tomatoes

Mozzarella, Asiago, Romano, Parmesan cheese (leftover from this week’s Fettuccine night)

Chopped Garlic

Fresh Rosemary

Fresh Basil

Spinach

Green onions

Olives

Italian seasonings

Garlic powder

Onion salt

Sea Salt

Balsamic glaze or vinegar

Olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 unless you have a pizza oven. We cook the pizzas for 10 or 12 minutes, depending on the range! It also depends on how crispy you like your pizza.

Tip using Rhodes Rolls to make the mini Pizzas.

These make individual mini pizzas. Ensure you do enough rolls per person; I did 2-3 per person. (for the rolls, follow the directions on the bag) Then, after they’ve risen all day, each person flattens and pulls theirs out to shape and top with desired toppings. Some family members made little calzone instead of a mini pizza.

Building the Pizza Bar

Part of Building Your Own Pizza Bar’s fun is getting creative and trying different things on your pizza. My Family loves this interactive meal; it’s fun to hear them chat, joke, and talk their way through creating their pizzas.

Nana’s Christmas Buttermilk Cinnamon Roll Recipe

December 8, 2024

Nana’s Christmas Buttermilk Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Do you have a family recipe that has become a tradition? That one recipe you only get to enjoy once a year? For me and my family, it’s my mom’s cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. I grew up with my mom making these every Christmas morning, and only on Christmas morning. ( Why just on Christmas?) They could be enjoyed any time of the year! Maybe that’s what makes them so Special.

My mom, AKA Nana, continues making them every Christmas morning for all to enjoy, and our boys have also come to know this tradition. It really wouldn’t be Christmas without them. I always look forward to eating one every Christmas morning, and I will cherish even more the Christmas mornings my mom is in our kitchen making them.

Nana’s Christmas Buttermilk Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Ingredients:

5 cups flour

Two teaspoons of baking powder

1/3 cup sugar

Three packets of dry yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup of warm water

1/2 cup butter

1 Tsp Baking Soda

2 cups buttermilk

Cinnamon

How to make:

Sift flour, sugar, and baking soda together. Add buttermilk and mix well. Gather into a ball and let it rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

When ready, roll out the dough until it is a large rectangle. Spread one cube of softened butter on the dough, and add more if needed. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon (don’t be shy about cinnamon). Roll into a log and slice into 20 pieces.

Preheat the oven to 350F, bake for 20 minutes, and then frost with homemade icing or drizzle on warm. You can also rub on melted butter as a substitute.

Simple Icing Recipe:

4 ounces of cream cheese (softened)

¼ cup of butter (softened)

1½ cups of powdered sugar

One teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a medium mixing bowl.

Mixed until creamy

I love it with just butter, but almost everyone loves it with the frosting.
