In Once Upon a Royal Summer, Lacey first meets Henry at a tea party for children at an amusement park. Lace’s playing a princess character…and she has no idea that Henry, a single dad with an adorable daughter, is a real-life prince! Our cucumber dill sandwiches are a tea party classic, and they’re so simple, you can make them any time you want to feel fancy.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 package (4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
