Tea with My Little Girl


My daughter and I have been going to The Tea Room since she was a little tyke. It's our own special place whenever we need our girl time. With four boys in the house, we definitely need it!


The Tea Room has a beautiful collection of teas from around the world.




Our scrumptious lunch began with savory, yummy tomato soup! It was so delicious, I made some today. Definitely a keeper!

Almond Encrusted Chicken Salad with Strawberries & Mandarin Orange slices

Pan Seared Tuna Caesar Salad was a delight.

Dainty sweets afterwards. Delicious.
I better savor these days with my girl...because it won't be too long and she will be off to college. (It's making me tear up just thinking about it.)

  2. Such a lovely daughter and what a fun experience! I've always loved visiting tea rooms. My favorite is to search out the best chicken salad recipe. It seems that every tea room has their own unique version of the yummy dish. Happy New Year!

  9. I truly love this post. The Tea Room is most definitely NOT a boy's place...I need to find a place like that for my girls and me...we need a "just for us" place and make it a tradition to go there this year! OH!! I just thought...it can go on my list of really cool things to do this year!! THANKS!
    And...you are right...treasure each moment...they are precious.

  14. These mother daughter experiences are so precious! This lunch looks fantastic. I like how the pan-seared tuna was encrusted with almonds.
    Your daughter, by the way, is stunning!
