CREAMED CUCUMBERS
We moved here about 3 years ago and we love our home in the country. We plant a garden each year, making sure there's always plenty of cucumbers. I must admit I never really cared for cukes until my mother-in-law prepared them this way. Now they're one of my favorite vegetables.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and ranch dressing mix packet. Stir until well-blended.
- Slice cucumbers into relatively thin slices (I cut mine to approximately 1/4").
- Slice baguette into medium slices (mine were about 1/2"). For a "daintier" sandwich, trim off crusts.
- Spread cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread. (I prefer a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture!).
- Place 4-5 cucumber slices on top of cream cheese.
- Spread cream cheese mixture onto a second piece of bread and place the bread on top of the cucumbers, cream cheese side down.
- Repeat!
- NOTE: I recently made this recipe for a bridal shower bruch I hosted. I knew the morning of the shower would be crazy, so I sliced the cucumbers and mixed up the cream cheese spread the night before. It tasted great and made things so much easier on the morning of the shower!

CREAMED CUCUMBER DELIGHT
This is such a yummy blend of cucumbers and onions in a sweet creamy sauce. When I was young my Grandma would make this for me all the time. That was over 30 years ago. It is a wonderful go to recipe for those hot summer days when you don't want to cook. I prefer using Vadalia onions, but any yellow onion will do. I try not to use too big of cucumber (diameter) because there are too many seeds. I have even substituted splenda for the sugar and light miracle whip with good results. (However, the juice doesn't flavor as long with the splenda). Finally, the cook time is the refrigerator marinate time. I hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- Peel and slice cucumber and onions thinly. The best results are even slices. I use a mandolin for this step.
- Place sliced cucumber and onions in a medium bowl that has a lid.
- In a small bowl mix together the Miracle Whip, sugar, vinegar. Add salt and pepper if using. Pour over top of the cucumbers/onions. Place the lid on the bowl and give it a shake or two.
- Marinate 6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Do not add more liquid. Juice will keep for a long time. Just keep adding onions and cucumber as they get low until you no longer get the wonderful flavor on the cucumbers. Then it is time for a new batch.
