Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Extinct Creatures and Whole Wheat Cucumber Sandwiches

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! For the Extinct Creatures theme I am showing this baby dinosaur piece I did back in 2019.


 

with cucumber 

with ham and cucumber

For the Dinner date,  I found these healthy whole wheat  cucumber sandwiches and wanted to share with  you.

I put a thin slice of deli ham in one of them for husband M,  I didn't know if he would like just cucumber in his sandwich.

This is the recipe I used for one sandwich:

4 tbs cream cheese

1 tbs Greek yogurt

1/2 tsp dried chives

1/2  tsp dried parsley

1/4 tsp pepper

2 slices whole wheat bread

1/3 c thinly sliced cucumber

Stir together cream cheese, yogurt, chives, parsley, pepper

Spread onto a bread slice

Top with cucumber.  Top with the other bread slice and cut in half.

It has a  very refreshing taste!

I had some Japanese pickled onions and put them on top of one of the sandwiches, sooo good!
