1/2 cup coarsely chopped watercress leaves
16 slices white bread
alfalfa sprouts

Pat cucumber slices with paper towels to remove moisture.

In a small bowl, combine butter and watercress; spread on one side of each slice of bread.
Lay cucumber slices onto the buttered side of 8 slices of bread.
Cover each with alfalfa sprouts and top with the remaining slices of bread,buttered side down. Carefully cut the crusts from each sandwich with a sharp knife.

Chicken Curry Tea Sandwiches

2 cooked whole chicken breasts, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
Mayonnaise (to make moist)
Curry powder

Chunky Chicken Salad Recipe

This is a wonderful and simple chicken salad recipe that I make all of the time!
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups diced chicken
1 cup finely diced celery
1/3 cup slivered almonds

Combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, and salt and blend well. Toss with chicken, celery and almonds.

Guess what else you will need at your baby shower tea party?
Yep, tea!

Sipping tea is becoming a trendy "hobby" and it is slowly catching up to the coffee craze. It really makes you feel special when you get to drink your tea from a fancy tea cup that was poured from a fancy teapot.

Cute and Festive Ideas

Have several pots of tea steeping in several different flavors and varieties. Make cute labels and set next to each teapot for guests to choose from. Some common favorites are: chamomile, jasmine, earl grey, green, black, even iced!

Yummy garnishes that guests can add to their tea are always fun! Have a tray full of honey, cream, sugar, cinnamon, etc.



Scones are a traditional tea party pastry, light and delicious!

Basic Scone Recipe

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons cold butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar

Preheat the oven to 400º F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and soda. Using your fingers mix in butter, work with it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk buttermilk and egg together, and add to flour mixture. Stir together until a soft ball of dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, turning five or six times. Roll out dough with a floured rolling pin to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut scones into triangle wedges and place on the baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Serve with preserves. Makes about 12 scones.
