Sammich Saturday: Cucumber Tea Sammich

September 15, 2012 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Whew! Another Saturday is here!! The temperatures have dropped and it’s rainy here in the ATX which makes me want to do nothing but curl up on the couch and watch  movies. Unfortunately my schedule said uh-uh to that plan. I’m up early and there is much to be done! I’m actually taking a little trip to San Antonio today, to see my favorite cousin!! He lives out of state now, and it’s been way too long since we hung out, so it’s definitely worth giving up some lazy couch time to hug his scrawny neck!

And when you’re on the go, go, go like I have been these last few weekends, quick meals are essential. And what could be faster that slicing up some cucumbers and throwing them on two slices of bread covered in butter and cream cheese???? For the love of food…this was one tasty sammich!! I can totally see why the English love their tea sammiches…light, tasty, and great with a cup o’ tea!!

I had mine as a mid-morning snack after a 2 mile run, but you could have it for lunch as well!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
