Tea Party Recipes!!!!

I had such a fun time visiting all of the Virtual Tea Parties this week!!! There were so many lovely Tea Sets, and Yummy Snacks!!!

As promised today's post will incule the recipes used for my own little tea party. The first recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies can be found on Martha Stewarts Web Sight. They are so soft and chewy just the way my family likes them. The second recipe is from The All New Joy Of Cooking Cookbook. The recipe is as follows:


Ginger Snaps

Whisk Together-
3 3/4 C flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t soda
4 t ground ginger
1t ground cinnamon
1/4 t ground clove
1/4 t salt

Beat on medium until fluffy and well blended-
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 2/3 C sugar

Add and beat until well combined-
2 L eggs
1/2 C dark molasses
2 t fresh lemon juice
1/4 finely grated lemon or orange zest

Stir in flour until well blended.
Roll dough into balls and then in sugar.

Bake at 350, for 10-13 minutes.






The girls also sipped warm Apple Spiced Tea . We added sugar to ours and a little cream too!!!

I hope every one enjoys the recipes. They're nothing fancy just tasty treats that make kids (and grown ups) smile.

Time For Tea

Back To School Tea Party

It's almost time for the girls to arrive!!!! I can't wait to see them all dressed up in their back to school outfits!!! This is going to be so much fun. The table has been set with "Old Country Rose" china, the napkins are old fashioned hankies. Each girl has a place card marking her spot, on the back of each place card is a different back to school question (the girls will take turns answering each question).

The menu consists of Ginger Snap Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Caramel Apple Slices, and Spiced Apple Tea with cinnamon sticks for stirring ( I will post the recipes later this week).

Oh, Good They're here, and they look soooooo cute!!! Don't you agree?

They are such little ladies, sitting together having tea!!

What a wonderful time we've had. We would all like to thank you for stopping by to share a spot of tea!!!

Fancy that, three little ladies having an after school tea!!!

Back To School Tea

The Ladies at Make Mine Pink are hosting a virtual tea party today!!! How fun is that.

I don't have photos of my actual Tea Party yet, as I will be giving a Back To School Tea this afternoon. However I have pulled out the china, napkins, place card holders, and of course a favorite recipe book!!!

Please stop by later this afternoon or evening to check out the photos from our Tea Party!! The girls will be wearing there favorite back to school clothes, and the menu will be focused on tastes that remind me of back to school and fall. I will be serving Apple Spiced Tea, Ginger Snap Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies (because they remind me of my own childhood), and caramel apple slices.

Fancy That, a day of virtual tea.
See you this afternoon, Dee Light
