We were honored again this morning, serving a light "green themed" lunch for a Working Women Of Tampa Bay event. Broccoli Salad, Spinach wraps with a Spinach and Artichoke spread, and regular wraps with an Herbed Chicken Salad. A couple of flavors of Special Thymes Popcorn & More Special popcorn were a special treat!

It's Croissant Day!! Whoo Hoo!

These beauties have been an integral part of my life for the last 28 years. I have stuffed them with at least 6 different kinds of Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Tuna Salad, and Shrimp Salad. They are my most requested bread on my Sandwich Platters, and they are the base of my Signature Bread Puddings.

❓️ Do you like croissants? Do you indulge often? What's your favorite thing to put on them?

A lot of you have followed me through the journey of my Milk & Honey Tea Room, as well as my time as the Chef at the Whistle Stop Tea Room. So it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that I love tea!

I probably have more tea in my pantry than any one person should, and definitely don't drink it as fast as I buy it apparently! 😀

Hot Tea is my cold weather must have. It warms me up more completely than coffee or hot chocolate. And its C❄️LD in Florida right now.

For Christmas, my brother got me the Holiday Sampler box (yes its in a wooden box!) from the Table Rock Tea Company in South Carolina. They are an American grower of REAL tea!! Located in the Upstate in Pickens County, at the base of Table Mountain and along the Cherokee Highway. They have a microclimate that is perfect for tea growing. Who knew?!?

I tried their tea for the first time today. I chose the Cousin Earl, since I love Earl Grey! They blended this lovely black tea with bergamot oil, lavender and vanilla. It was amazing, and the lavender was just enough without being soapy.

The farm does sell online, and you can even get tea seeds if you want to try growing your own!

If you're ever in the Upstate SC area or even visiting Asheville or Western North Carolina, they do farm tours from March thru December.

Check them out and give them a try!
