Ingredients:

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, remove from heat. Pour into a pitcher and add tea bags, allowing them to steep.
2. Let the tea bags sit longer for a stronger brew.
3. Remove the bags, add sugar and stir. Chill for at least two hours. The longer, the better. Serve on the rocks in a tall glass with an optional slice of lemon.

A few years back my parents and I paid a trip to see our family in Savannah, Georgia for a few weeks. While there, my aunt told us about a tea room/restaurant called the,  "Gryphon Tea Room" and as big tea lovers we are (all the girls in the fam), of course we had to try this place out. The setting was beautiful, peaceful, and served a great selection of teas. Besides my favorite glass of sweet ole' Southern Peach Tea, I had the Blueberry Cornbread for an afternoon snack. Super delicious! Mm'em! Perfectly moisten!

Ingredients:

Directions

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for sauce
• 12 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic, cut into chunks
• Salt
• Fresh basil, torn
• Freshly grated pecorino cheese (sheep's milk cheese), for serving

• 1 pound fresh pizza dough or frozen pizza dough, thawed
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying.

• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

1. In a saucepan, heat up extra-virgin olive oil for the tomato sauce. Add the crushed tomatoes, garlic, salt and basil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Stretch and flatten out each piece with your hands to create little pizzas.
3. In a large pan, heat the extra-virgin olive oil on high heat. Gently place each piece of dough in the hot oil and cook for about a minute on each side. Once the dough is puffy and golden brown on both sides, remove them from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
4. Remove any raw garlic, if desired, from the tomato sauce and spoon sauce onto the fried dough. Top with freshly grated pecorino cheese, and serve immediately.
5. For a sweet version: drizzle honey on the fried dough, and serve hot.

Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 cup of All Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
¼ tsp Salt
2 Eggs
2 Tbsp Melted Butter
1 cup Whole Milk
1 cup Nutella
1 cup Sliced Strawberries
Non Stick Cooking Spray
Whipped Topping, optional
Powder Sugar, optional

Preparation

2) Preheat a 9 inch non stick skillet on medium heat and spray with the nonstick cooking spray. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup scoop the batter into the pan tilting the pan in a circular motion coating the surface evenly.( the crepes take about 30 seconds a side to cook) Continue the same process with the rest of the batter.

3) Once the crepes are all done, place the nutella in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave for 45 seconds.

4) To assemble each crepe spoon some of the nutella on one half of the crepe and place some of the strawberries on the same side as the nutella. Fold over the crape to create a half moon shape and drizzle with about 1 tbsp of the nutella. Add a dollop of the whipped topping and sprinkle with some powder sugar. Place a whole strawberry on top of the whipped topping for an over the top beautiful presentation.
