CREAM CHEESE CUCUMBER BITES (KIDS SAILBOATS)
This recipe is from Kraft Foods originally. It is nice way to use extra cucumbers. For adults this appetizer is one to have with a bunch of other stuff as a filler and needs to be seasoned with salt and pepper. If you have kids it is a great way to get kids to eat their veggies when you make sailboats. Make sure to seed the "boats" and omit salt and pepper. Use a toothpick as the pole of the sail if you'd like and thin pieces of carrot as sails. Fast and easy and can be made ahead. Enjoy! ChefDLH

[email protected]These cream cheese cucumber bites were a hit with my kids! They loved the fun sailboat design and the creamy, crunchy filling. I used whole wheat bread and reduced-fat cream cheese to make them a little healthier, and they were still delicious.
