Hi tea lovers. It’s time for Tea On Tuesday, you’re virtual tea room. Today I am serving my guests Blue Mango green tea from Teaporia. It’s slightly sweet with pineapple notes. Very yummy and refreshing, it also makes a great iced tea. When making iced teas, make sure you use two-three times the amount of tea leaves you’d normally use for steeping hot teas. This will assure you get a good strong blend that won’t taste watered down when ice is added. If you’d like a free sample, please send an e-mail to tealadydarla@aol.com, with the words “blue mango” in the subject line. I have also made a delicious spinach quiche to enjoy. It’s so simple to prepare using the Simply Spinach dip mix from The Taste Of Gourmet. I love using shortcuts from The Taste Of Gourmet’s product line, because they specialize in making homemade foods quick and simple to prepare! There are many recipes on the website. And this month they have announced a recipe contest I thought you’d be interested in hearing about. The winner will receive a $100 shopping spree from Taste of Gourmet. The winning recipe will be posted on the website and at the Crown Restaurant in Mississippi! The drawing will be held on Sept 1st, and it must include any Taste of Gourmet product as one of the main ingredients in the dish. Send your recipes to evelyn@tasteofgourmet.com .
Now here is my favorite recipe for Simply Spinach Quiche:
1 package Simply Spinach Dip mix from Taste Of Gourmet (click link in the menu at right)
1 1/2 cups cream
3 eggs
4 oz. swiss or cheddar cheese.
1 pie crust, lightly baked. (I like using Marie Calenders piecrust for best results, unless you’ve got time to prepare you’re own homemade crust.)
1 Tbs. butter.
Mix your first 4 ingredients together in a large bowl, then pour into crust. Dot with butter and bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes or until set.
You may serve this warm with a salad on the side drizzled with Sweet Vidalia Viniagrette. You now have the makings of a fabulous luncheon! Don’t forget the iced tea!
