Some new taste testers

This time around I made turkey tea sandwiches and sun-dried tomato dip. I had some new taste testers. I was a little worried when I mentioned to Phil and my Dad that they would be tasting tea sandwiches I would get a "not a chance, I am not trying that", both surprised me and jumped right in.

The turkey tea sandwiches were first, a little Halloween lunch. They were pretty easy to make and I used fruit nut bagels and a little raisin bread we had on hand. The secret to these was the scallion cream cheese. Everyone loved them and had one the next day! Phil liked the cream cheese spread so much he has mentioned how great it was numerous times, sometimes at very odd moments. I will definitely be making these again. Very easy and makes for a little different spin on a turkey sandwich.

The finished product

You want me to try a tea sandwich!?!?!?!?

This is great!

Grace liked it too.

The sun dried tomato dip was a little appetizer before dinner. I cut the recipe in half since there were only three of us trying it. This was pretty easy as well and did get eaten. I served it with pretzels, regular potato chips, and tostidos, but I am sure it would be good with some veggies. It was not quite the hit as the sandwiches but did get a thumbs up. I deleted the only picture of the finished product I had. Oops.

Yum!

Kelly and Barefoot Contessa - These were very easy to make and I will be making both again in some form or another! Also I have been using low fat or reduced fat in all the recipes when possible as I have high cholesterol. I am not sure if they would taste any better and since I have not had them the other way. I will continue to make them with the lower fat ingredients.

I am glad that both recipes were good otherwise I think I would be down a taster.
