Tea on Tuesday 11


This week I made my first attempt at making
Madeleines

I used Barefoot Contessa (Ina Gartens) Coconut Madeleines
recipe and it was YUMMY!
I bought the pan at a cake decorating shop

Here is the first batch, a little to brown but still tasty.
They smelled so good baking!

Here is the next batch....just right!


I also made some chocolate covered strawberries
(you know I needed something healthy)
to go along with these delicious cookies.....

Here is the finished sweet treats!
My tea of choice with this was
double bergamot-earl grey made by Stash
and what a treat it was!

Happy Tea Day!

Tea on Tuesday 10



Wow, the weeks have just been flying by! Here I am 10 Tea on Tuesday's later. We had snow today, yes we really did *sad face* Sure hope your weather is better than ours. Our prayers go out to our friends in N.C., it is just amazing what mother nature can do. My tulips are coming up and I have some daffodils that have bloomed but it has been too cold to enjoy them. On the up side of things I have been enjoying some wonderful tea (and that is always a good thing!) I made some wonderful little black dress cookies for a surprise 60th birthday party on Saturday along with 3 different kinds of scrumptious cupcakes! The photos look weird because the lighting was low (sorry).

I sure hope all of you have had a great week and have enjoyed a pot...or cup of delicious tea!
