As some of you know on Sundays we usually have a lot of family over for Sunday dinner. This last Sunday there was 12 of us all around the table. Six of which are men who can put the food away!
I decided to roast not one but two chickens and lots of roasted veggies.
THEY. ATE. EVERYTHING.
For the herb butter I used 1/2 a stick of butter and a mixture of fresh herbs consisting of Rosemary, basil, thyme and sage and chopped them up and using a fork mashed them into the butter then I separated the skin from the breast and used my fingers to spread the butter all around
Because the chickens are cold from the fridge the butter tends to harden up so I had to kind of mush it around from the outside of the breast to get it to spread out a little bit.
The vegetables that I used were potatoes, yams, carrots, and onions chopped into chunks. Drizzled with oil and more fresh herbs.
Make sure to tie the legs with some string…. I just used thicker thread
I forgot to take a picture of the beautiful golden chickens but they were gorgeous and the meat was so moist and yummy!
Everyone was ready to eat and EAT THEY DID!

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!

I love Sundays. It's family time for us, too. It's a special day of the week wherein we get together as a family. And usually, that's when the best food is served, too.
It is the best day of the week isn't it! :)
