We had the pleasure of eating our Easter dinner out on the patio tonight…it was absolutely perfect!
The sun was shunning, the seagulls were flying overhead and it felt like we were right on the beach! The lake is very close by and attracts many seagulls and I love to hear their squawking caw sound.
I made these flower napkin rings and the tutorial is

I marinated the chicken thighs in a honey lemon basil sauce.
Honey glazed carrots are a family favorite. Cook the carrot In some water in a pot until almost tender. To the same pan add honey, butter, salt and pepper. Cook until tender but not mushy.
Fresh asparagus grilled to perfection. Add a little olive oil, kosher salt and pepper and grill so easy but so tasty.
Best Chocolate cake ever!!
Emily used Cadbury eggs to decorate the top of the cake
Everything was lovely!
Hope your Easter was just as lovely. Karin

Karins KottageWelcome 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!

What an amazing way to spend Easter! I would love to have an outdoor space like that.
Karin, it looks simply lovely and healthy too. We opted to go out for Easter brunch. No cooking here. Sadly not even an Easter tablescape this year.
