Tea for Two on Mother’s Day Eve

Make and bake the Very Blueberry Scones

• I help her measure the ingredients but she enjoys mixing the batter; her favorite part is shaping the dough

Make Mango Coconut Cream 

• Peel and cut up one large mango (about 2 cups); place into saucepan
•  Pour 1 cup coconut milk over mango, bring to a boil. Immediately turn down and simmer for 15 minutes. Cool.
• Puree in blender or food processor. If desired, add honey to taste
• Wash, remove stem and quarter strawberries
• Place in little serving bowls; spoon Mango Coconut Cream over strawberries

Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Tea Sandwiches 

• Cut  sliced whole-wheat bread diagonally in half to make two triangles
• Mix about 1/4 cup of soft goat cheese with 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach and 1/4 cup chopped chives
• Spread goat cheese mix on bread triangles
• Place smoked salmon on half of the triangles and sliced cucumber on the other half
• Decorate with snipped chives of a leaf of parsley or cilantro

Marshmallow Treats

• This was her very own inspiration and she worked carefully placing M&Ms on top of each marshmallow
• As she worked on it she said, “Mother’s Day is a special day, special treats for a special day!”
