✨ Disney Day in the kitchen! ✨

Some of my kids’ friends came over! One joined me as sous chef while the others played, and together we cooked from the Disney Eats cookbook by Joy Howard. We made Alice’s Teensy Tea Party lunch:

☕ Little London Fogs
🍪 White Rabbit’s Petite Pocket Watch Cookies
🍅 Queen of Hearts Tomato Tarts
🍓 Wee Strawberry Scones
🥪 Mini Mad Hatter Tea Sandwiches

The strawberry scones were definitely my favorite (though everything was delicious!).

This morning’s breakfast? A cup of Tazo Awake tea with leftover scones. Perfect.

I’ve loved Disney my whole life, and it’s such a joy to share that magic with my kids and their friends. 💖✨
