I’ve been eating these a lot lately. I use Vegenaise and eat with rice crackers or corn chips. It is also good in a corn tortilla with finely shredded lettuce on top. Another great recipe for that special tea party! …
Cucumber Sandwiches
A perfect little sandwich for a tea party! All my kids like these. Don’t forget to refrigerate the cream cheese mixture the night before you make these. For a tea party be sure to buy a dense loaf of white bread and cut off the crusts. …
Lentil Sloppy Joes

Serve with Thai Nut Dipping Sauce…
