School Lunch Favorite: Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

I’m back today with another school lunch favorite.  My daughter loves these little cucumber tea sandwiches.  They taste like summer no matter what the weather is like outside and really help to keep her energized all afternoon.  I know they taste fantastic because I eat them too.  She isn’t a big fan of the crust on her bread so we can quickly take care of that issue when we make these “super cute” sandwiches.

 

Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

One of our favorite things we like to do for “girls day out” is to have tea at one of our local tea houses.  We gather up all of the women/girls of our family – great grandmother, grandmother, great-aunt, aunt, cousins ……..and spend the afternoon sipping on delicious teas and enjoying a variety of delightful little sandwiches.  We take the time to really relax and enjoy each other’s company.  And the best part……..we laugh………a lot!

These little cucumber tea sandwiches are my way to pack a little of that joy into my daughter’s lunch box.  As she quickly eats her lunch at school, I hope she takes a moment to think of all of the women in her life and how they are helping to shape her future.  Beautiful, strong, intelligent, loving and fun………..all of the qualities that I hope my daughter inherits from the women of our family.

That’s quite a lot of pressure for one little sandwich.  Even if it is delicious!!

I hope you enjoy these cucumber sandwiches.  They are really easy to make which is perfect for busy mornings.  We enjoy the peel on the cucumbers so that cuts out one step for us in preparing these cucumber tea sandwiches.  And for all of you worrying about where the protein is………..cream cheese has protein.  Another reason these are perfect for Meatless Mondays or for the flexitarians in your life. Enjoy these little bites of heaven.

Leave me a note and let me know if you try these cucumber tea sandwiches.  Are you a fan of meatless meals? Have you been to tea house?

It’s always a fun day when my order from @grovec It’s always a fun day when my order from @grovecollaborative arrives. I don’t usually buy a ton of items all at once but I do purchase my favorites every month. I’m a big fan of the Grove products. This month I’m trying the organic peppermint blend tea. The mint and argan lip balm is my favorite. I also needed some more flour sack towels for my kitchen. My family loves all of the scents from @mrsmeyerscleanday and my daughter and I love the charcoal wipes from @yesto . Now to get this stuff put away and enjoy my cleaning.

Took a trip around our little community looking at Took a trip around our little community looking at Christmas lights with my daughter and husband last night. We think it would be fun to award a blue ribbon prize to our favorite house. The ribbon would say, “You won Christmas!” We are Christian and understand the true meaning of Christmas and want to spread joy to those that work hard to spread joy to others as well. Loving the Christmas season! 🎄♥️ #christmas2018 #merrychristmas #christmaslights #jesusisthereasonfortheseason
