Mother’s Day is an occasion to honor the women who hold a special place in our lives. They don’t have to be our moms and grandmothers only, they can be close friends as well. Our table is a garden hat and hydrangea (Mama Bear’s favorite flower) theme. Deep purple and vibrant green make up the […]
Mother’s Day Lunch
Our Mother’s Day lunch includes an entree called “Raspberry Chicken Salad” that is always popular at women’s parties. Not only is it delicious, but it is very pretty. We paired the chicken salad with a spring mix salad tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette. A nut bread tea sandwich finishes this lovely plate. The sandwich is […]
