Bridal Shower

Yesterday I was lucky and honored to attend a bridal shower for my soon to be sister-in-law Charla. Adam's youngest brother Joel is getting married Labor Day weekend to a wonderful woman, and we are so happy for them. We traveled to her aunt's house in Ohio and it was a great afternoon meeting her most gracious and friendly family, good food, surprises galore and many memories made. All of the food was AMAZING--all homemade and definitely made w/ love. The ladies in her family did a fantastic job, and at the end were so humble enough to share their recipes w/ us. So the next few days I'm dedicating to the new Marshall woman Char, and her wonderful family and all the posts will be recipes from the beautiful shower they held.

1/2 tsp onion salt

1/4 lb very soft butter

Peel cucumber and chop finely. Mix the cucumber w/ the cream cheese, horseradish and onion salt.

Spread some butter on each slice of bread before adding cucumber mix. Use cookie cutters to cut out special shapes for finger sandwiches.
