This Weeks Planning - Mother's Day

I have always been quite a planner...from planning my future (even though it usually doesn't go as planned), to recording my every move in a calendar, even planning my outfits out on a calendar to make sure I never wore the same thing with in at least 2 weeks of eachother in high school (even though I hate to admit it, it's a true story!)

Needless to say, I feel like I constantly have to a have a project or something in planning mode.  This week it's planning a Mother's Day Luncheon for all of the women in my family.  Even though my family is very close, "just us girls" hardly ever get together.  And with the majority of women in my family, 9 out of 13, being mom's now, it is time to celebrate! 

Here's the plan so far:

Main Dish:
Chicken & Strawberry Salad

This is such an easy and fantastic salad that is light and fresh!

Side dishes:
Summer Potato Salad

Bacon Wrapped Breadsticks


And finally dessert!  The best part of any meal :)
Luscious Orange Panna Cotta


All of these recipes are super easy, and can be made in advance!

And for a beverage I'm making this:
Mom-Mosa - As seen in the May 2011 issue of Southern Living


Decor is still "to be determined".  I'll update with pictures on Monday!  So stay tuned :)
