Orange Glazed Walnut Salad with Chicken

Orange Glazed Walnut Salad with Chicken!

Sunday, “In the kitchen with D’Arcy “brings you my Orange Glazed Walnut salad with chicken. With Honey orange Balsamic dressing! Serve alone or with soup and rolls. Perfect for Winter… super easy to whip up!

Recipe: Serves 6

-1 bag of 50/50 salad

-1 bag of Iceberg salad

-4 Grilled Chicken breast chopped

– 1 15oz Can mandarin oranges drained (save the juice for dressing)

– 1 Cup dried Cranberries (great for color)

– 1 1/2 cup Feta or Blue cheese crumbles ( I love the Blue cheese)

-1 6.5oz bag of Emerald Glazed Walnuts

-1 cup Brianna’s creamy Balsamic dressing

1 Tablespoon Honey

-1/2 teaspoon salt & pepper

Salad

Open the bagged salads and give them a good chop, toss them together and plate on six plates, layer or sprinkle the mandarin oranges, chopped chicken, nuts, cranberries, and cheese….

Salad dressing =mix Brianna’s balsamic with 1/2 cup of mandarin juice, 1 Tablespoon Honey and add salt and pepper. Stir

I serve the dressing on the side❤️

I served this salad last night with my Cheesy potato soup, Recipe HERE, Garlic knots, and Buttered & Sugar Speciality cookies. A local Eden, Ut. Baker. As for drinks, I made a homemade Winter Sangria and a Mimosa Bar, along with a bar cart full of make-your-own cocktail choices.

: Homemade Sangri and Mimosa Bar

: Mimosa Bar

: Butter and Sugar Co. Cookies

: Party favors

: Side Bar

: Favorite Things Gift Exchange

Table setting = Kept it, Winter Simple, with a placemat, wood layer, soup bowl, napkin, place card, copper cup, and party favor.

Centerpiece = layered ticking runner, boho runner, Sugar Pinecones, Christmas balls, greenery, and white candles.

Girlfriend time is so important, and how fun to get together for the Holidays with a favorite things party! The girls all brought a gift of a couple of their favorite things they’ve loved this year for a gift exchange. We draw numbers, and then you have the option to take a gift or open a gift… It’s so fun to see what the ladies loved this year! I brought A Beanie, Colleen Rothchild Hand cream, and a Jade face roller.

The Best thing about a girlfriend’s night is the time together and getting to chat and catch up. One of the reasons I keep the party small is 6-8 ladies, just the amount that can sit at my dining room table and enjoy a meal and each other. As I have gotten older, I have realized I love smaller, more intimate parties than the Big ones I used to throw! Don’t get me wrong, A Big party has its place, just not as often. DO you like to entertain? Big or small?

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes!

My favorite time of the year is finally here- Though admittedly, I’ve been decorating for the holidays since the beginning of November. (Annual Holiday Home Tour is Saturday on Instagram) Don’t worry, and I’ll be adding Decor ideas and this year’s Holiday Decor look HERE on the blog Sunday!

Our Chit Chat Chic Girls had a fun chat yesterday about some random holiday items, and we thought that would make for a great blog post. Quick & easy to read with some fun get to know us Holiday items. Do you do a red lip or red nails? A cookie swap? Have a favorite dish you take on repeat? Are you ready for the Holiday, or have you finished Christmas shopping? Do you host a party? Typical questions you ask your girlfriends, and that’s what we all are, right? Girlfriends… So join us in sharing our conversation. All of us answered the questions on TODAY’S blog post…I hope you enjoy the conversation! (make sure to check out Cindy, Lisa, Michelle’s blogs today.)

Let’s get to the Christmas Chic Chat…

1. Do I do a Red Lip? I have tried it, and I look like a hooker!! But I have friends, and my sister sport a red lip and looks fab. So, one Red that did work for me is by Tom Ford that I can pull off with my big lips that look good, and I wear it only this time of the year and in February.

2. Do I wear Red or Holiday Nails? I sure do love a good Red with Blue undertones, not orange. However, I love Holiday Nails as well. In November, I started sporting Red Nails, and I just had a Holiday manicure done on Monday!

3. Are you done with your Shopping? Yes, Yes… I am!

4. Do you Host a Holiday Party? I host a small girlfriend’s party year every year. A sit-down dinner, yummy drinks, and everyone bring a “Favorite thing” gift for an exchange. Personally, I like the smaller group to be able to chat, spend time catching up with each other.

I threw a BIG Holiday cocktail party every year, and it just got too Big. It was fun, but we’ve moved past those times in our lives and love things scaled-down and spending quality time with those we love on a smaller scale. Hence the tiny Girlfriend Party was born.

I also Host Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning, and Christmas Dinner! It brings me great joy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you do not have anyone to spend it with, you are welcome at our home, As a full house at Christmas is a blessing.

5. What’s your Favorite “go-to” Christmas Holiday Appetizer? I have made this crescent roll dill cream cheese Appetizer for years, and it comes highly requested! Recipe HERE

6. Have you ever hosted a cookie swap? I have not. But I have Hosted a gingerbread house decorating party several times, and it’s an enjoyable party to have.

7. Favorite Christmas cookie? I love Shortbread my recipe HERE, and I adore German Rasberry thumbprint cookies made by Vera (my mom’s friend and client). These are massive labor of love, and she would make us 3-4 cookies each every year until we moved to Utah. ( My mom has the recipe, and I will get it for you)

Some of my favorite Baking items:

8. Have you purchased a New Piece of clothing you are excited about this season? Really? Who are we talking too:) I am in love with this Sequined Duster, I purchased it in the Fall for the Holiday season, and it is back in stock! It is perfect for dressing up any outfit and great for NYE.

9 Looks from Park City Girls Trip

9 Looks from our Park City Girls Trip.

9 outfit inspirations you can easily copy from our girl’s trip to park city Utah Staying at Yotel Pad. Easy looks to transition into Fall, some we even styled 5 ways for you. WE enjoyed working with some amazing brands on this trip, from WHBM, Chico’s, Spanx, Print fresh, Peepers, Station Park, Evereve, and Soma. Showing our style in what we choose, from how we decided to style the pieces. We even decided to pick a couple of things the same ( Spanx jeans & Spanx leggings) and style them differently, giving you 5 ways to wear them.

Interestingly, all 5 of us wear the same size, but due to our heights and body shapes, we all wear them differently. I hope you like the style inspiration and check out all the lady’s blog posts (linked at the bottom of this post) to see how we styled differently.

Arrived at Salt Lake international airport and off to Yotel Pad Park City

Spanx Faux leather leggings are one of my favorite closet staples (size up). You can style these in so many ways. Here I styled them with a blazer, white button-up and finished with kicks. Easy to wear with an oversized sweater and boots, paired with a rocker tee and leather or denim jacket, and even with a silk blouse and heels.
