Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian

This was so beautiful and special. 

 

I had the Prince Edward Tea, which included a variety of cheeses and a glass of port.

My daughter had the Buckingham Tea.  She loved the tea sandwiches, scones, Devonshire cream, and jam.

A Delicious Combination

 

 

I had planned to post this simple side dish weeks ago when tomatoes were in season. But with school back in full swing, my blog post are few and far between.   This is so easy and delicious even I have time to throw it together.  I simply slice a tomato and crumble Boursin cheese over the slices.  You can add olive oil or vinaigrette, but I tend to keep it simple.  Enjoy.

(Boursin cheese is a little pricier than others, but worth it.)

 

 

 

This makes a great side dish, but I tend to eat it alone as a meal. 

 

 

 

 

 

Belize

Belize is incredibly beautiful. We visited the Altun Ha Belize Mayan Temple.  The temples date back to 100 AD. It was amazing to stand and look at something so old and majestic. Reaching Altun Ha is not easy though - one hour by river boat followed by another hour on a bus. However, we were able to see so much on the journey including holler monkeys, beautiful foliage and a lot of iguanas.
