Mother's Day Tea!

So I know I'm a day late posting this...but better late than never right? I was with my family and I won't apologize for that!
Yesterday I enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day Afternoon tea party with my mom and daughters.
 We enjoyed tuna salad sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, bunches of cookies, a delicious lemon cake, strawberry lemonade slushies...mmm so much good food!
Everyone's favorite was my cucumber sandwiches so I thought I'd share the recipe with everyone! We won't mention my mom requested a post showing exactly how I made them =) 
First you need some good whole wheat bread or tortillas, I'm using tortillas today (no sandwiches were leftover and I was out of bread so) good cheddar cheese, some cucumber and tomato slices, deli turkey, and the star....my improvised ranch green goddess dressing!
To make the dressing, start by snipping some green onion from your prolific green onion planter...
Yes, that's an old 2 liter bottle cut to make a planter...and it works! Anywho, toss the green onions in a blender with a block of cream cheese, a packet of ranch dressing seasoning, a handful of fresh parsley, and a little milk to thin out the dressing. Blend until nice and smooth, adding more milk as needed until it coats a spoon but pours like a dressing.
Then to make a wrap, or sandwich, smear a good spoonful on...
Layer on some roasted turkey...
some fresh cucumber slices...
some tomatoes slices...
Sliced mild cheddar...
and wrap it up nice n tight! Add a handful of pretzels and your done. Quick and easy for lunch!
