Karins Kottage Linky Party- Recipes and a spring refresh

Welcome my friends to another linky party. This week I am highlighting some amazing recipes and a spring refresh. Not one but two asparagus recipes one of which I have already tried! The grilled asparagus in foil packets is so good! I am always looking for fun porch spring refresh ideas and this one will not disappoint.

Highlights of the linky party

How about this gorgeous looking roasted asparagus soup! The color is just so pretty. I love what The copper table said- “I think the best thing about this soup is how much flavor you can get out of so few ingredients. It’s light without leaving you hungry, but hearty without being heavy”. 

The guy who grills shares this easy but perfect way to grill asparagus. I tried it the other night and the asparagus turned out perfect! I didn’t use the cheese because one of my daughters is vegan but they still were perfectly cooked.

Puff pastry is my all time favorite thing to use when I make desserts. When I saw this spring puff pastry with nutella I was oh man! I have to make this! I love that she used a tulip cookie cutter and then created a ring with them. So so cute.

These ideas are so fun to use to refresh a porch. The idea of using an old wicker chair that she has had since her first apartment on the porch is just so cute. An organized season always has such great ideas.

Karins Kottage Happenings

I have been sick with a nasty head cold that moved to my chest so I haven’t really been too busy the last few days. My sewing machine is calling me as is my garden. I did make our favorite family taco chicken soup with leftover chicken. It is always so comforting and flavorful! YUM!

Mother’s day is coming and I actually will be back in Italy. Here are a few ideas for a pretty Mother’s day tablescape. My favorite is this ooastal grandmother tablescape. Lots of roses, black and white polka dotted plates and lacy placemats.

This is another pretty and super easy tablesacape to do for Mother’s day. Little vases with a mix of flowers from the grocery store.

Karins Kottage

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!
