So this Saturday is the Queen’s Birthday and its National Cream Tea Day later in the month too and what better way to celebrate than with food. Let’s face it… do we really need an excuse?

It got me thinking, it’s Summer, its warm and this can be one of the biggest reasons we go – “oh sod it I can’t be bothered to cook” – or “I don’t want a big meal – I’ll just snack”. Then we lost track and eat too much or may be make some questionable food decisions ( “Go on – that second scone with cream and jam wont hurt”).
Then comes the fall – when we snack its fine as long as if you bite it, you write it (down – count it towards your calories – you know what I mean).
Here are some ideas so that you can enjoy your self, have an afternoon tea and then not dread your next check in day.
Savoury First…
We have to remember our aires and graces where ‘wor Liz’ is concerned.
