I have a two-fer for you today! Two things I’m sharing for you to try are a healthy cookie recipe and a DIY boxwood and hydrangea table centerpiece.
Grab a cup of tea and enjoy the rich and crumbly flavor of a healthier tea cookie! Not only are these cookies gluten free but they are dairy free too. A few ingredients that make these cookies scrumptious are earl grey tea, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla. I used this recipe by Lindsey Smith, of Food Mood Girl. I met Lindsey at her book signing in Pittsburgh and bought her book filled with recipes and a helpful guide to transform your emotional eating. I’m always intrigued on how you can make dessert treats that are not only healthier for you but are delicious too. These bite-sized treats are a delightful addition to any gathering!
You can create your own do it yourself centerpiece – it’s pretty quick and easy to make! I simply used this Preserved Boxwood Leaf Garland that I wrapped around and tucked inside this Hobnail Terracotta Footed Bowl. Then I clipped small sections from the head of a hydrangea and tucked them inside the boxwood in any place I saw a hole and to place them in areas that looks pleasing to the eye. That’s it! I found using smaller cuts of a hydrangea looked prettier and lighter verses stuffing large hydrangea stems throughout the boxwood greenery that would make it look to heavier.
If you’re looking to have your centerpiece last for a long period of time, I would suggest using water tubes for your hydrangeas.
