@mollyannexoxo here! I had this idea where I make a tip on having seasonal tea parties and thought it would be fun to do! Just because it says "tea party", doesn't mean you have to have tea and get dressed up. It can be as formal or as lazy as you like :)
 
DRiNK -
Just make a hot drink you like (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, cider, etc), and put it in a tea pot or something that will keep it hot.
 
FOOD-
This can also be as easy or as hard as you want! Since it's a Fall tea party, you can have some fall themed snacks. You could get some store bought cookies or make your own. I think the leaf shaped ones are really cute.
At some stores, they sell chocolate covered pretzels. If you want to make your own, just get a bag of pretzels and some chocolate you like. Dip the pretzels in the chocolate and set them on a cookie sheet and put it in the fridge to harden.
You can make little sandwiches, desserts, cookies, anything! Whatever you like (:
 
PLACES-
If you live near woods (that are safe!), and are a cold weather kind of person, I think it would be really fun to have a tea party in them. You could set up a little table and chairs, or just use a blanket. Just put the things you want to keep warm in thermoses so they stay warm in the cold! If you don’t live near woods, you can just have a tea party in your backyard.
If you like to stay warm, you can have one inside. Set it up in front of your fireplace, in your room, or anywhere in your house! Put pretty towels or blankets you don’t mind messing up under things you don’t want to get dirty (just in case!)
 
That’s basically it. This is really a personal preference kind of thing, so have fun. Invite your friends, or just bring a book and get comfy! I hope you all like this, and comment if you want me to do a whole “seasonal tea party” kind of thing  Don’t forget to request on our request set!
 
au revoir c:

It's @mollyannexoxo again! I am really in a tipping mood right now! :) Anyway, this tip was requested by @nomieissoepic so here it is C:
 
#1- Veggie Pasta
 
Take some bow tie pasta and cook it the way the directions say. Meanwhile take a bag of frozen veggies and heat them up in the microwave or on the stove ( I like to use the Steamers bags because they already have the cheese or dressing in them and they are just a lot easier).
Once the veggies and the pasta are ready, mix them together. If you use your own veggies, you can melt a little cheese or butter, or use Italian dressing, to use as the dressing for your pasta.
 
That's basically it! If you want more vegetables, you can use 2 bags of the Steamers.
 

#2-Meat/Veggie Wrap

Take a tortilla, regular or whole wheat, and spread some cream cheese over it.
Take any kind of meat and put 1 layer of it on your tortilla.
Then, take out some lettuce or any kind of veggies you want (the picture has avocado) and put it on top of the meat.
Roll it all up and cut it in half!
 

#3- Bagel Pizza
 
Take a bagel half and spread some pizza sauce all over it.
Put any kind of cheese on top. If you wish, you can add pepperoni or any other pizza topping to the bagel
Put the bagel in the microwave for 1 minute and then your done.
 
This isn't as healthy as the others, obviously!
 

#4- Peanut butter/banana sandwich
 
Toast 2 pieces of bread.
Spread some peanut butter on 1 slice of the toasted bread.
Thinly slice half a banana and put some of those slices on top of the peanut butter.
Drizzle some honey and sprinkle some cinnamon over the top and put the other slice of bread on top.
Cut in half and enjoy!
 
SiDES
Any will work. You can have fruit, pretzels, carrots, hummus and pita chips.Anything!
 
So these foods are actually lunch foods, but they will work for dinner too! I think I might try one of these right now!
 
Recipes are actually from Macbarbie07 on Youtube! Here's the link to the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TORMTo7FGuI&feature=related
