If there's a cake that goes well with tea, I feel that this would be it. A few months back, we experimented on several recipes and this is what we've come up with. Lemony scented moist butter cakes with poppy seed bursting in your mouth every bite, topped with cream cheese frosting. I particulary like this with early grey tea, with a teaspooon of sugar and a tablespoon of milk. This way, its not so sweet and goes well with the zing of the lemon in the cake. These babies are scheduled to be out in the stores by the weekend. Do try them and let me know what you think....
Mixed greens with tomatoes, onions, grapes and candied walnuts with creamy balsamic vinaigrette. For easy entertaining, grab a bottle of Goodies N' Sweets Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette. Then grab a pack of mixed greens, some cherry tomatoes about 1/2 cup - cut in halves, very thinly sliced onions, about half a medium sized onion sliced into rings, 1/2 cup of seedless grapes. Arrange in a salad platter and drizzle about 1/4 cup of the creamy balsamic vinaigrette. (shake the bottle well before using) Place some extra salad dressing in a separate ramekin to allow guests to add more dressing as necessary. This salad will be good for about 4-6 people.
Serve this salad with some toasted focaccia bread, a pasta, and a light fruit dessert. Enjoy!
