Creative Cream Cheese

My daughter LOVES bagels and cream cheese. She would probably eat if for every meal if I let her. I get a little bored with plain 'ol cream cheese however. And--to my dismay--I couldn't find any *special* flavors in the lower cal kind. SO---I made my own!!!! It was quite simple. All I did was let the tub sit out for a bit, then dumped it into a bowl. I added honey and chopped up nuts. Stirred it up, and plopped it right back into the tub. Wha-la!!! That was it. Tried it a bit later on my bagel and it was yummers!!!!!

Think of the flavors you could do---mash up some strawberries; put in some hot chocolate (gee--that sounds healthy). Grind up carrots and other veggies in the food processor to make your own 'veggie" flavor. I really think you could make some delicious home-made flavors. Ask the kids....i'm sure they'd come up with some *really* great flavors!!!
