Mother’s Day Spring Dinner


Since I have my cute mother-in-law coming for Mother’s day I looked through a bunch of my old magazines to find a yummy dinner I could serve her and this is what I came up with. It is from Country Home April 2006. Grilled vegetable Antipasto Salad, Mixed Melon with Basil and Onion stuffed Pork Tenderloin with a mango chutney sauce! What is so great about this menu is that it can be made the day before and served at room temperature.

So there is no fuss on Mother’s day and I get to enjoy the day too! I will have all the recipes on our website tomorrow along with some deccadent dessert!!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
