French Macaroons
 |
Macaroons have been in the news lately or perhaps it was just me obsessing about them and seem to notice them everywhere. I believe it was Marie to blame, in the recent Marie Antoinette movie (starring Kirsten Dunst), where she indulged in these nutty, chewy morsels while sipping champagne or tea during her numerous splurges and living ‘la vie’. But whatever the reason, I set out to have my own little delectable feast so I decided to hunt down the perfect recipe to make these pretty cream-filled almond cookies. |
Stir Fry Noodles
 |
This easy and versatile stir fry noodles dish can be served at Luau parties or Asian-themed parties, and guaranteed to be a favorite among all, especially kids. The dish combines sweet and salty flavors with a bit of spiciness, and calls for ingredients that can be purchased at your local grocery store, from Asian specialty stores, or online. If no egg noodles are available, just simply substitute regular spaghetti noodles instead. |
Alice in Wonderland Party Time Crackers
 |
These ‘Time Crackers‘ are in honor of the Alice in Wonderland’s White Rabbit who always seem to be in a hurry and continuously mumbling: “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date. No time to say “Hello.” Goodbye. I’m late, I’m late, I’m late”. If you are planning for a Mad Hatter Party these time inspired snacks would be the ideal themed foods for the tea table and to let rabbit keep track of time!  Alice in Wonderland Party Supplies |
Alice In Wonderland: Carrot Cake
 |
If you will be hosting an Alice in Wonderland Party, an endless supply of carrot cake is a must since The March Hare feels compelled to always behave as though it is tea-time. This carrot cake is super moist and if made the day before the party the cream cheese frosting will stay nice and so soft, ready for the hare and his friends to sink their teeth into it!

Mad hatter Spools of Thread Dessert
 |
This Mad Hatter Party Treat is a favorite of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. Carrying a sash of spools around him, we figured he has this “thing” for spools. Here we have made a spool themed treat for him out of peanut butter cookies, pretzel rods and red strawberry licorice which would be perfect if you planning an Alice in Wonderland Party.

Ladybug Sandwiches
 |
Ladybug Tea Sandwiches are perfect for a Ladybug Birthday Party or Ladybug Baby Shower Tea. These are guaranteed to be a hit with kids especially since they are adorable yet tasty too. We used chocolate chips as the spots, strawberry slices as the head and Tootsie Rolls as the antennae. Serve them on these oh-so-sweet ladybug plates and use ladybug antenna forks to add a touch of whimsy to your party table as well! Lady Bug Party Supplies |

Ever since our trip to Nova Scotia, Canada and having the most delicious mussels marinara dish, I have been searching high and low for a recipe that could even come close.

Apple Crisp
 |
Apple Crisp made with freshly picked New England apples topped with locally made Vanilla ice cream is to me the ultimate dessert on a cool Fall night. After a day of apple picking we came home and made this delicious dessert for that evening. My daughter loved turning the apple peeler crank and seeing the tool automatically peel, slice and core the apples in a spiral. She gets a kick out of it and I get some help with making dessert! |

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
 |
Whoopie Pies are a tradition in New England (and Amish country), especially around Fall and Thanksgiving when pumpkins are abundant and the weather gets colder. This one is deliciously moist and has lots of flavor from the ginger, cinnamon, and cloves spices. This recipe is from Martha Stewart with a little bit of adjustments. |
