Tea Party!

Ella had a friend come over yesterday after school. Since we are in the midst of trying to sell our house, we have packed up most of the kids' toys. I decided that a fun way to keep

the girls busy would be to have a tea party. I whipped up a bunch of yummy snacks. On the menu were:

Mini Rice Krispie Treats

Shortbread Jelly Sandwiches

Sugar cookies with sprinkles

Fruit Dip with sliced fruits

Veggie Tray

Olives

GF Pretzels

GF Crackers

Assorted Teas and beverages

The recipes for the cookies came from the Annalise Roberts' baking cookbook. I used the classic Rice Krispie Treat recipe. The fruit dip has become a bit of a requirement for a

ll of the play dates that we host. We first had it at a f

riend's birthday party (Thank you, Susan and Ava Mae!) It is really easy to make. Just combine equal parts yogurt (I prefer raspberry lowfat) and cool whip. Fold the two together and chill for about an hour. You can serve it topped with sprinkles, if you'd like it to be festive.
