Cucumber Tea Toast

Get excited for a very royal slice of toast on this fine Toast Tuesday!

Do you remember having tea parties with your friends when you were little? I used to love getting dressed up and enjoying overly sugared tea and all of the adorable little tea sandwiches. One of the classic tea sandwiches at my tea parties was an English Cucumber and Cream Cheese sammie. Although the fun days of tea parties and teddy bears are over, I still enjoy cooling off on a hot summer day with a refreshing glass of iced green tea and heart slice of whole-wheat toast with cream cheese and cucumber. I really want to bring Tea Parties back… they are just too cute! Get ready for this quick and easy summer snack… pinkies up!

Tomato & Lemon Pepper Toast

It’s Toast Tuesday!

Today is a variation of one of my old favorite treats. I used to love bagels with cream cheese, tomato and lemon pepper in high school. Nowadays, I still enjoy this flavor combination, but I’ve swapped the bagel for sprouted grain toast and traded in the regular cream cheese for a fat-free version.


Tomato & Lemon Pepper Toast

Serves 1

1 slice Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Low Sodium Bread
1 Tbsp nonfat cream cheese
2 slices tomato
lemon pepper to taste

Toast the bread, spread with cream cheese, top with tomato slices, and a sprinkle of lemon pepper.
