We were <em>supposed<\/em> to be going\u00a0 out for an Easter lunch and for Phillip will get to visit the Easter bunny. I was somewhat looking forward to a day off however 2 family members are under the weather (including Phillip) so as of 2 days ago I am suddenly hosting!<\/p>\n<p>On top of that we have some friends joining us so in a way it will be a bit easier\/more relaxed being here at home. I say that now, let&#8217;s see if I say the same thing later today, haha.\u00a0 Spent the day yesterday prepping and will go put the finishing touches on my table. Dreary rainy day in NY, so it kind of works out to be home. Things work out for a reason, you know what they say about those best laid plans. Sometimes, you just need to go with it.<\/p>\n<p>Spring is officially here and we have had some wonderful spring days. We are already in the fall planning mode at Enchanted Home which sounds crazy but truth is, in retail this is how it works. I will be giving you a sneak peek of our magnificent pumpkins next week.

Last week, the house felt like it was stuck in a post winter rut.\u00a0 Thankfully our lifelike faux to the rescue! I have a stash of our great faux flowers, (many are packed away) I was tired of looking at my wintry amaryllis so scrounged around found what I could find, haphazardly put them together and they actually looked really imperfectly pretty. It certainly felt more appropriate than the amaryllis! I often mix the faux with the real and they always come out amazing and believable ! <a href=\"https:\/\/enchantedhome.com\/collections\/shop-floral-greenery-lifelike-flowers\"><em><strong>Click here to see our lifelike florals<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-137572\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2884-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2884-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2884-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2884-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2884-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2884-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-137570\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/10916E95-24E5-4732-B4C3-D8B9725FD8F3-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/10916E95-24E5-4732-B4C3-D8B9725FD8F3-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/10916E95-24E5-4732-B4C3-D8B9725FD8F3-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/10916E95-24E5-4732-B4C3-D8B9725FD8F3-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/10916E95-24E5-4732-B4C3-D8B9725FD8F3.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-137571\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/F00C92A9-7636-460B-B1BC-26ED32932C9F-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/F00C92A9-7636-460B-B1BC-26ED32932C9F-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/F00C92A9-7636-460B-B1BC-26ED32932C9F-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/F00C92A9-7636-460B-B1BC-26ED32932C9F-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/F00C92A9-7636-460B-B1BC-26ED32932C9F.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-137573\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2885-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2885-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2885-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2885-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2885-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2885-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 PUMPKINS <\/strong>On Friday I shared with you, some of the most exciting beautiful pumpkins we have ever created (<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/2026\/04\/03\/pumpkins-polls-yes-really-giveaway\/\"><em><strong>click here if you missed the post<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, you won&#8217;t want to miss it)!

Made it the other night because its one of my son&#8217;s favorites and honestly I think its an easy dish to make and always a guaranteed crowd pleaser whether for 2 or 8. I also like that you can make this ahead of time, refrigerate and stick in oven when ready. In fact, think it might be even better to do this ahead of time as it has a chance to marinate longer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-137680\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design8-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design8-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design8-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design8-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Untitled-design8.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>CHICKEN MARSALA<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"0\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">4 7-9<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">ounce<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">boneless skinless chicken breasts<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"1\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">all-purpose flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"2\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1\/3<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">olive oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"3\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">4<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cups<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">sliced cremini or baby bella mushrooms<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"4\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">peeled small-diced shallot<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"5\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">2<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">finely minced garlic cloves<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"6\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">2<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">tablespoons<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">unsalted butter<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"7\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">2\/3<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">dry marsala wine<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"8\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">2<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cups<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\"><a class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billyparisi.com\/homemade-roasted-chicken-stock-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">chic<\/a>ken stock<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"9\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">salt and pepper to taste<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" data-uid=\"10\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">finely chopped fresh Italian parsley for garnish<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>HOW TO MAKE-<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Slice the chicken breasts in half width wise and then gently pound each sliced breast between two pieces of plastic wrap using a mallet. Maybe 15 to 20 gently pounds. I like mine very thin but do it to preference.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Season each chicken breast on each side with salt and pepper and set aside.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">In a medium-size bowl mix together the flour and salt, and pepper until combined.<\/div>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Recipe_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-recipe adthrive-recipe-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"CKOmvoXQz5MDFWm7pgQdABgq7A\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,22634376776\/AdThrive_Recipe_2\/5978fe51d83d246969d21c83_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Next, lightly dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour and knock off any excess. Set aside on a plate, platter, or cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Heat the olive oil in a very large frying pan over medium heat to 350\u00b0 F. Add a sprinkle of flour to the oil and if it turns light brown quickly, then you are good to go.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Add in the chicken breasts and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Flip over and cook for an additional 2 minutes.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Set the chicken breasts aside and then add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and turn the heat up to high.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Brown the mushrooms very well on all sides, which takes about 10\u00a0 minutes while occasionally stirring.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Push the mushrooms to 1 side of the pan and in the other side of the pan add in the shallots, garlic, and butter and cook while stirring for 1 minute or until lightly browned.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Mix all of the ingredients together and then remove the pan from the burner.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Deglaze with the marsala wine and then return the pan to the heat and cook until the amount of liquid is reduced in half<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Add in the chicken stock and cook until the amount of liquid is reduced in half.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Season the mushroom sauce with salt and pepper and then add the chicken back to the pan and cook for 30 to 45 seconds or until it is warmed. This is great with potatoes, rice or some kind of pasta and a side vegetable. I normally due mashed potatoes and broccoli or string beans.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 STUNNING GARDEN TOUR WITH BETTIE <\/strong>I thought this was a beautiful time of year to share the magnificent gardens\u00a0 of Bettie Bearden Pardee.

I have for, so long,\u00a0 dreamed of a beautiful charming caf\u00e8, I. know just how I would want it to look, the kind of menu I would offer. Its more of a concept, a charming cafe,and then on either side there would be a small florist on one side and a charming home accessories shop on the other.\u00a0 I had such fun playing around with this concept and almost wish I didn&#8217;t because now I can&#8217;t get it out of my mind:)<\/p>\n<p>I know the restaurant business is grueling but is fun to dream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
