Our First Mini Retreat--What a Blast!!!



We had the best time at our 1st Mini Retreat this weekend! What a great group of ladies--and did they ever get a lot done! The Retreat winner of our $50 gift certificate was Carol Grady. We had lots of other prize winners too. And one thing everyone wanted to know was the recipe for the Cucumber Sandwiches that Lorrie made! Here you go:

Benedictine Sandwiches

1 medium cucumber ( buy the seedless ones at Sams)
1 small onion
1 (8 oz) cream cheese softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash hot pepper sauce
Thinly sliced white bread (I used Pepperige Farms Whole Grain)
Mayonnaise

Peel cucumber and slice in half lengthwise; remove seeds with a small spoon (or buy seedless). Place cucumber in a food processor and pulse about 5 times until cucumber is minced. Place cucumber into a small glass mixing bowl. Place onion in the food processor, pulsing until it is finely chopped. Add onion to cucumber. Add cream cheese and stir well with a spatula. Add salt & hot sauce and mix well. Spread a small amount of mayonnaise on bread, then spread mixture. Also delicious as a cool dip for summer!


I'll post the recipe for Derby pie in a couple of days!
