Redeeming Love Book Review


If you have been paying any attention lately, trafficking children has been a real problem that many of us are becoming more aware of. Perhaps you've seen the hashtag #saveourchildren floating around Facebook and Twitter. Some hundreds of thousand of children are being taken every year for sex and slave trade, enough is enough.

Zucchini Bread




I wanted to post this recipe a when I fist started getting zucchini from my garden, but then remote learning started at home and next thing I knew, my youngest was using my computer full time during the day and then when school was over, I was just exhausted!

But, I'm here now and I think that you will really love this recipe. It's very easy to make and, in my own opinion, is better than banana bread!

Cucumber Sandwiches

 

This is seriously the easiest thing you may ever make for an appetizer for tea parties, potlucks, or random get togethers. It's also great when you are looking for ways to use your garden cucumbers. (Seriously, I have so many cucumbers!)


Ingredients

Party Entertainment Bread
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Mayo or Miracle Whip
1 tsp Dill Weed
Cucumbers


Instructions

This is easiest if you have a mixer, but if not, microwave cream cheese for a minute to make it soft.

  1. With a mixer, mix together cream cheese, Mayo/Miracle Whip, garlic salt, and dill weed.
  2. Spread as much or as little mixture that you want over party bread. For my sandwiches, I used Jewish Rye and Pumpernickel cocktail size bread. If you can't find the small square loaves, you can cute regulars into squares.
  3. Place Cucumber slice on top. 

Great alternative to cucumber slices are tomatoes, cheeses, and peppers! 

You can also use left over mix as a dip for your favorite veggies, veggie pizza, or even place into some jalapenos for a popper. The dip is very versatile.




Conclusion

This great and easy to make snack is perfect for any entertainment that you'd like to host. It's a light, cool treat, and is a crowd pleaser.

The last time I made up this tray was for a game night with me and four grown men and all but three sandwiches were eaten and that was just one of the many things I served that night.
