Cucumber sandwiches..

So, it's Memorial Day and we're headed off to Debbie's house for the day. I'm bringing those famous cucumber sandwiches but this time, I'm actually baking the bread for it here at home. Here's the recipe... they're really yummy!

1 loaf of baguette bread cut into 1/2 inch or so slices

1 8oz pkg of cream cheese softened

1 tbsp mayo (not miracle whip)

1 pkt of dry Italian salad dressing mix

1 or 2 cucumbers sliced (I also peel off some of the skin)

Basically, you mix the cream cheese, mayo and salad dressing mix in a bowl, spread some on the sliced bread and top it with a cucumber slice. Now, you don't want to make these too far ahead of time because the bread will get soggy but you can make the mixture a day ahead if you want, just remember to let it soften a little so you can spread it on the bread when you are ready. I've found this also makes a good dip for pretzels! mmmmmmm
