HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! I hope your Mother’s Day is filled with those you love! This week we will be celebrating Mother’s Day here at StoneGable. And we have lots more to be thankful for than last year. My first grandchild is not 6 months old. And Anderson is the apple of my eye! And we are waiting with great anticipation for the arrival of Emma Kate in just a couple weeks! I am one happy mom and Gigi!
Here’s what’s on the menu this week…
SUNDAY- MOTHER’S DAY BRUNCH
This mother’s day I have many things to celebrate! We are celebrating with a Mother’s Day Brunch!
I wish every woman reading this HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
- CHICKEN SALAD IN PASTRY CUPS
- ROASTED ASPARAGUS
- CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
- THE BEST STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
MONDAY
I have a love/hate relationship with pork. I remember when I was a young girl growing up in England, pork was scrumptious. Actually, it was my favorite thing my mom made. But now, pork is very bland and a far far cry from it’s scrumptious, full of fat, beginnings. Yes, I love that it’s healthier but it certainly is NOT tastier! So I’m always in a search for ways to bring flavor into a pork recipe. Fruit is a wonderful way to infuse flavor into any recipe!
The potatoes are from an oldie but goodie recipe. The photography needs a little help, but not the recipes!
- GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH PLUMS
- MUFFIN TIN ONION GRUYERE POTATO STACKS
- ROASTED ORGANIC CARROTS
TUESDAY
One of the best things about being a blogger is finding other blogs and bloggers you just love! So, while searching for one of my favorite foods, quesadillas, I came across ONCE UPON A CHEF a truly amazing foodie blog. Jenn Segal is a classically trained chef and cookbook author. Her recipes look delicious! This is a blog really worth checking out!
Chipotle is like a magic word to me. It has such a hold on me and I’m drawn into any recipe with that glorious word in it! YUM!
- CHIPOTLE CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
- HOMEMADE REFRIED BEANS
WEDNESDAY
If you make one thing this week, this should be it. The recipe is easy and company worthy recipe. The flavors are purely spring!
- SALMON, ASPARAGUS AND BOW TIE PASTA IN A SHERRY CREAM SAUCE
- MIXED GREENS WITH CHAMPAGNE VIGAIRETTE
THURSDAY
I’m a huge fan of cobb salad and the only thing that would make it better is lobster! So, ta-da… Lobster Cobb Salad! If you like to cook seasonally and healthy then you should check out Skinnytaste! This blog is gorgeous and health-concious with beautiful images and recipes. A must read!
FRIDAY
I’m hoping to get out in the garden this weekend. Bobby will be doing most of the work but I hope to be out of the wheelchair and at least sitting near the veggie garden! When the evenings are nice, you will find Bobby andmeI in the garden and on the patio all summer long! We are getting the grill out and enjoying an evening dining al fresco.
- GRILLED SAUSAGE, ONIONS, AND PEPPERS
- ROASTED POTATOES
- ARUGULA SALAD WITH SHAVED PARMESAN CHEESE
SATURDAY
I’ve been “fish happy” lately. Craving the fresh taste of delicious seafood! Fresh Char is one of my favorites!
Here’s to a yummy week!

Hi Jennifer, you will want to email me and I’ll be able to send pricing and talk about a decorating package that works for you. My email is stonegable333@gmail.com
Your home and food are so warm and inviting❗️You should open a bed and breakfast❗️I would visit for sure?
Hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day! We are so blessed that all of our grown children and their adorable families live nearby! I so enjoy your Podcasts as well as your beautiful blog! It has enriched my life!
This just may be my favorite menu so far! Totally want to try the herbed chicken salad! Thank you!
The recipes sound delicious! What a wonderful day!
How do you do it? Is your kitchen wheelchair friendly? I’m (not) looking forward to the fifth surgery on my left foot, so we have decided to make our doorways wide enough to be wheelchair accessible. Probably the master bath and the kitchen should be changed too since the recovery on this is eight weeks of no weight bearing.
You must know all about this Yvonne.
Bless you for carrying on.
I too love fish, especially salmon and that asparagus, salmon pasta dish looks divine. Also love Skinnytaste, several of her recipes are in my weekly rotations, and she offers a weekly meal plan like you. Thanks
Pat

Wow! You totally nailed it this week! I’m loving this menu. Love Chicken Salad on puff pastry! Pork? My sweeties favorite. Not in love with salmon -but that dish looks absolutely delectable and I’m going to give it a try. And well you know, who doesn’t like quesadilla’s? I have all of Gina’s books from Skinnytaste and have always loved everything I’ve made from her blog – she’s amazing and I never stick to her serving size so ya know – I’m not good at dieting, what can I say? Thanks Yvonne – this menu looks perfect!
Lisa, not many are great at dieting! Count me in in that club!
Oh Yvonne – the link to your Mushroom Soup recipe seems to be broken. Since your other recipes are so delish, I’d love to have that one, too.
Thanks, and have a most wonderful Mother’s Day.
Hi Lois, I did not link a mushroom soup recipe. I have an old one that I use but I have not shared it yet!
Yvonne — earlier this week I happened upon your Christopher’s Shepherd’s Pie recipe, so made it. My husband LOVED LOVED LOVED it, just as you had promised all your readers would. So, it’s a keeper! Thank you so much.
That’s exciting news! A grandson and now a granddaughter. You are truly blessed. Happy Mother’s Day!
Yes, I am overwhelmed! My little Anderson called me this morning (with lots of help from his Mommy) to wish me a happy Mother’s Day!
Yvonne Happy Mothers Day to you and all the mom’s in the world. May you and your family have a delicious day ???
Happy Mother’s Day, Yvonne! Your brunch sounds delicious!
Happy Mother’s Day to you Karen!
That chicken salad looks so good and the strawberry shortcake would be so good too.
Happy Mothers Day
Happy Mother’s day to you too Yvonne!!! That chicken salad looks amazing!
