Eating light tonight

Tweet

I made a big breakfast of scrambled eggs with veggies for breakfast. Hubby made us cold sandwiches for lunch and we had dessert--the angel food cake with fruit and whipped cream again. We ate lunch so late that we were not very hungry tonight. I had made a cucumber spread this morning, one of the recipes from the herbal class, and I also had some hummus on hand. We had those things with chips for me, crackers for hubby. Each of us had a cheese stick and a beef stick. It was basically a snacking evening. Again, it was late. We drank V8 tomato juice with our meal and it tasted good. To make the cucumber spread you peel your cucumber, seed it if necessary. Put it in a food processor and grind it up, then strain it through cheese cloth. Also food process half an onion. Once the excess liquid has drained off the cuke and the onion, combine an 8 oz brick of cream cheese, the cucumber, and onion in the food processor. Add a little salt and pepper and 1 T. lemon thyme, or herbs of your choice. Throw in a dash of hot sauce or two. Combine thoroughly and put in a covered container. Let set at least 8 hours before trying it. Spread on crackers, chips or veggies. Very refreshing summer food.
