Induction and cream cheese

[teachingmykids]

I'm in the Induction phase and would love some cream cheese. The only way I know to eat it is on a huge blueberry bagel.

How do you "inductees" use cream cheese?

Thanks,

I eat it on celery a lot

After induction I add a little chopped walnuts to the cream cheese and spread it on a piece of ham. Yum!

You can make the "Mock Danish" (recipe at the top of the board). It is 2 oz of cream cheese, an egg, and some sweetening and flavoring, cooked up for a short time in the microwave for a nice breakfast.

Or you could spread it on cucumber slices

One of my favorite ways to eat cream cheese and "everyone" loves it. Spread the cream cheese on the rectangle shaped ham then place a baby dill (sometimes I have to lay 2 end to end and cut off the excess) on one end of the ham and cheese, then roll rather tightly. Slice into about one-half inch slices then chill if you can wait that long to start eating them!

Another finger food that I love is stuffed mushrooms. Clean the rooms in salt water...remove stems. Place on foil that has been sprayed with Pam. For a quart of mushrooms, use about a cup of shredded cheddar, add enough Mayo to hold together (about a third cup) and crisp bacon chopped up...plus a little seasoned salt...stuff rooms... Cover with foil, bake at 350 for about 15 minutes...uncover and bake another fifteen minutes or until lightly brown...yummy!

Oh wow, I never thought of the mushrooms. I'm going to try that. I made the Mock Danish for dinner. It was satisfying.
Unfortunatly, I HATE celery, but I never thought of spreading it on meat.
I'll definitely be doing some experimenting this weekend.

Thanks for all the great ideas.

Try spreading it on a slice of salami and rolling it up! That's one of my favorites!
