Ideas for Quick, Easy Holiday Appetizers

There are many ways to use cream cheese as the base of a spread to be served

with an assortment of crackers. My daughter uses everything with cream cheese

to prepare appetizers. A very simple, yet delicious appetizer is made by mixing a dash

of Worcestershire sauce and chopped green onions in softened cream cheese. Yet

another that she made recently was cream cheese, drained canned spinach and

pecans. It was a hit and disappeared in a hurry! Garlic powder, chipped beef and chopped

green onions is another wonderful combination when mixed with cream cheese. It is

also good in celery sticks. Enjoy!
