    Tea Party Food Table


    In March I hosted a tea party for my mom's 50th birthday. It was nice to have her friends over for some girly fun. We served tea, of course, as well as scones, carrot soup, cookies, cake, meat pies and lots of other delicious bites. It took a while to prepare everything, but it was totally worth it. Here are some highlights from the event:

      Yes, it was wonderful to be able to share cooking with you, as I shared that experience cooking with my mom over many years.
      My 50th birthday was very special with friends, family and good eats.
