This is such a fun recipe for kids and adults alike! :) I luved the cute look of the sailboats and the yummy fresh taste! What a healthy snack idea! Mmm, the carrot adds a lovely sweetness to the onion and chives cream cheese and the cucumber makes everything taste so crisp. I made the sail boats eventhough I dont have small children and it was so cool! :) Instead of snow peas, which I didnt have on hand I used kohlrabi pieces that I cut into sails. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this great keeper with us, Chef DLH! Ill make it again! Made and reviewed for Went to the Market Tag Game May 2010.

I am a busy mom both with stuff at home and my work. My kids and husband love to try new creations so they are right at home with my love of recipes. It is fun to make something and try several different ways at it. I love to try different enchilada recipes, recipes for various ice teas, and anything that gets food on the table on the weeknights. Restaurant recipes for the weekends are another favorite.
