Small Bites - Part 1 - Fast, Simple, Delicous Cucumber Cups w/ Cream Cheese

Samuel Johnson once said 
“A cucumber should be well sliced, and dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out, as good for nothing”
He was English, what do they know about flavor?

As this holiday season is closing in quickly, we could all use a little more time. Personally, I've been so swamped! I recently went to the doctor and found out I have an atrophic hole in my left eye!! I'm too young for this kind of garbage! I've been on the phone with the doctors and my insurance company trying to figure this out all while starting a new job! The amount of hours that I work around any holiday season can just seem unreal in addition to living my life!. Spending up to 14 "short" hours a day at work, I can use all the help possible finding extra time. I like to use simple, quick recipes that look impressive to make the most of my time! My family knows I'm cooking for a living so their expectations are high! This recipe is so freakin' quick and simple and one that will wow the masses.
