Let’s Cook!
Garden Cream Cheese Spread: Finely dice 6-8 baby carrots, 1 celery stalk, 1/2 cup red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup red onion. Slice 5-6 green onions. In a food processor, pulse veggies, 3 packages cream cheese, 1 grated clove garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried), and a few dashes salt and pepper until well-blended. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to allow flavors to blend.
Sweet Grape Salad: Wash grapes. Cream together 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 4 ounces sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 cup white sugar. Gently fold in grapes. Cover and refrigerate. Sprinkle with 1.5 tablespoons each brown sugar and crushed pecans (optional) before serving.
Spread garden cream cheese on toasted bread, add meat of choice, and serve with a handful of grape tomatoes. Enjoy the sweet grape salad on the side and offer Jell-O of choice for dessert.
