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!


Cucumber Tea Toast
Serves 1

1 slice honey whole-wheat bread (I used Milton’s)
1/4 cucumber – sliced

Toast the bread. Slice the cucumber into thin slices. Evenly spread the cream cheese on the toast and top with cucumber slices. Enjoy with tea!

Whole-Wheat French Toast

Guess what day it is?
TOAST TUESDAY!

Mmmmm a healthy twist on the ultimate kind of toast: French Toast! French Toast may have a poor reputation when it comes to healthy breakfast choices, but not when it’s pretty and perfectly portioned! It’s the perfect combination of protein, whole-grain, healthy fats, and produce!


Whole Wheat French Toast
Serves 1 

1 slice whole-wheat bread
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup egg whites
2 Tbsp sliced almonds
1/8 tsp cinnamon
3 drops liquid stevia or other natural sweetener

Combine egg whites, cinnamon, and sweetener in a bowl.  Soak the slice of bread in the egg mixture until it is absorbed. Place the bread in a pan lightly coated in cooking spray over medium heat. Pour excess egg mixture on top of the bread. Flip and cook both sides until the egg is no longer runny. Transfer to a plate and top with fresh raspberries and almonds.
