Cucumber Tea Sandwich
Ingredients:
1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled and very thinly sliced (about 32 slices)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup coarsely-chopped watercress leaves
16 slices best-quality white bread*
Salt to taste
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
Preparation:
Place cucumber slices between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine butter and watercress; spread on one side of each slice of bread.
Lay cucumber slices onto the buttered side of eight (8) slices of bread. Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt. Cover each with 1 tablespoon alfalfa sprouts and top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down.
Carefully cut the crusts from each sandwich with a long, sharp knife after the sandwiches are filled. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and then cut in half again. If desired, decorative shapes can be made with cookie cutters.
Yields 8 whole sandwiches or 16 halves or 32 fourths.

This meal is so good and easy!
Chicken Pesto Pasta
1 lb of cooked cubed chicken
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup of jarred prepared pesto
8 oz package of bow-tie (farfalle) pasta
Boil the noodles as per the package directions and drain. Cook up the chicken pieces in a skillet then add the soup, milk and pesto and heat for an additional 5 minutes or until heated through. Add in the pasta and stir to coat.
This recipe sounded odd to me at first, as I don't have pesto often, but it is really, really good and even my children like it! One jar of pesto will last for two of these meals.

Stir frys are always good for one dish meals.

Anything in the slow cooker would work. Just throw it all together, go to work and come home to an amazing smelling house. I just made beef stroganoff the other day and if you set it on high it takes 3 hours to cook but its super easy. No mess, one pot!
