Hospital-i-Tea Blogathon…The-Sweet-and-Savory-of-Yummy

This week’s theme on the Hospital-i-tea Blogathon, from Gracious Hospitality is :
Share your favorite teatime recipe for sweets or savories. Tea sandwiches, scones, and dainty desserts all count in this category. Give credit to the originator of the recipe if possible. Post a picture if you can. This is sure to make everyone hungry for a delicious tea time treat!
I used to own a tea room, and I loved creating the tea menus. I loved creatively plating the tea items on the vintage three tiered plates we served them on. I loved choosing colors and flavors that would be pleasing to the eye and palate.
I am in a spring mood… For lo, the winter is past…. I am ready for warm weather and a fresh breeze blowing through the house! My menu reflects spring flavors and colors; lemon, pinks, rose, all of the delicate flavors that gently remind us that winter is over. Since i have blogged most of these I just linked to the various recipes on Kettle and Cup and Baking Delights.
Mushroom, Gorgonzola, and Oregeno Beggar’s Purses
Tiny Assorted Sandwiches:
- Cucumber on sour dough
- Orange marmalade and smoked chicken
- Pecan, olive and cream cheese on carrot bread
Grapes in clusters, red and green.
served with strawberries….
And to finish….
Truffles of course!
I hope you enjoyed our little tea…

Marye, your recipes are phenomenal! The truffle recipes are very unique and something I would love to try. The poundcake, jellyroll, beggers purses, and scones also look just wonderful. Gosh, thanks so much for sharing such wonderful recipes!…Kathy@ Mimi’s Garden
Hello Marye,

Sometimes I really miss my tea room..but you know the old adage “Location, location, Location..”\well it is true.
Lovely recipes! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful pictures and recipes.
How interesting that you used to own a tea room. I would love to hear about it. Do you have a post about it?
Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely week!
Denise, I don;t have a post about it…It was a rather painful experience in the end. :/ Maybe someday again, somewhere else.
Oh my, my, my! These recipes and photos are making my stomach growl and the Hobbit in me is yearning for second breakfast!! Fabulous. You just gave me a wonderful idea for a shower we’re giving in June.
LOL Ellen! I am so glad. Be sure and share the idea when you can!
