When we were planning the party menu, I checked my recipe files. I looked to see what ingredients I had on hand. I added what I would need to buy to my grocery list.
Tea sandwiches
Now I'm going to share the recipes with you. I hope you like them. Most women I know collect recipes. Men too often enjoy cooking. I'm betting you've heard the saying "real men don't eat quiche." That saying is not true, lots of men eat quiche. They eat tea sandwiches too.
