My sweet daughter Emily totally spoiled me on Mother’s Day this year…she not only cooked me this amazing roasted chicken dinner with carrots and potatoes but she also made breakfast in bed for me too! I felt like a princess the entire day! This chicken dish was amazing and so simple. Cut up chicken bone and skin on (makes for moist tender chicken) Salt, pepper, sprigs of fresh thyme, sliced lemon, 1 clove garlic chopped, one onion sliced, small bag of baby carrots and 4 red potatoes cut up. Roast in oven at 425 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is thouroughly cooked. YUM!!!
The pot was a Tid bit too small to cook…so after an hour we took all the veggies out of the pot and put them on a cookie sheet and cooked them separately to speed up the cooking process. A good friend Catherine from across the street joined us and brought over homemade rolls!
For dessert Emily made a browine, topped with white chocolate pudding mixed with whipped cream and fresh sliced strawberries..does it get any better?
For breakfast Emily mad me scrambled eggs with feta cheese and homemade apple streusel muffins…recipe from dulce dough that are to die for! Moist with chunks of apple and cinnamon.
I hope you all enjoyed your Mother’s Day…I sure did 🙂
See you tomorrow evening for Centerpiece Wednesday!
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!
