Nothing tastes better than a toasted bagel and cream cheese. I know that some may think this a bland and boring, but to me its classic and it hits the spot. A plain bagel is the perfect canvas for the cream cheese to really pop, but I know that a bulky bagel isn’t the only way to compliment Philadelphia cream cheese. In fact there are a variety of flavors and foods that bring out all of Philly’s great qualities.
To bring
out the sweetness of the cream cheese try pairing it with some sliced fruit or
berries. Strawberries and apples especially bring out that little bit of sweet
and tart in the cheese. Try topping apple rings with some original Philly, or
add some sliced strawberries on to your bagel and cream cheese. Another way to
really bring out the sugary side of Philly is to make an updated version of cinnamon
toast. Spread a layer of
If you want to bring out the
tangier or savory side of Philly, try mixing in a little lemon juice, and fresh
dill into it, and then spread it on your bagel, cracker, or toast. This will
really bring out the zest in each bite. Or for something that tastes a little
more savory try mixing in bits of smoked salmon into a tub of
In my
opinion, the best food or flavor to complement
These cream filled crescents are just as delicious with toasted pecans as with almonds. Using flower honey makes them even tastier. You can even try rolling them like a bear claw for a different look.
PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Mix cream cheese and 2 Tbsp. of the honey. Stir in almonds.
UNROLL crescent roll dough; separate into 8 triangles. Spread 1 rounded Tbsp. cream cheese mixture onto each triangle; roll up each loosely, starting at shortest side of triangle, rolling to opposite point. Place rolls on ungreased baking sheet; curve each into crescent shape. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
BAKE 12 to 14 min. or until golden brown. Serve rolls warm, drizzled with remaining honey.
To make it even easier this flavor infused appetizer even easier; instead of cutting cream cheese into squares, spread softened cream cheese onto bottom of 9-inch pie plate. Chop garlic, rosemary, thyme and lemon peel. Mix with dressing and 1/4 tsp. ground pepper. Spread dressing mixture over cream cheese. Serve with crackers.
CUBE cream cheese into about 36 pieces. Place in 9-inch pie plate.
ADD remaining ingredients; toss lightly. Cover.
REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Serve with crusty bread , Nabisco Crackers or pita chips.
My older sis and I were at our apartment vegetating last
weekend wondering what my next recipe post should be. She said I had to list
the recipe for my Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes. I made them a few months ago
and she literally ate them until she made herself sick. So here they
are…and remember all things in moderation.Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes
1 pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix
1 pkg. (4-serving) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 cup water
4 egg whites
2 Tbsp. oil
1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Strawberry PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
(optional)
PREHEAT oven to 350ºF.
BEAT cake mix, dry pudding mix, water, egg whites and oil in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed 2 min. Spoon batter evenly into 24 paper-lined 2-1/2-inch muffin cups.
BAKE 18 to 24 min. or until wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 min.; move to serving dish. Let cool completely.
MEANWHILE, beat cream cheese, butter, sugar to taste (one pack of sugar is far too sweet for me) with electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Frost cupcakes and top with one strawberry slice.
For those who are watching their waistline, substitute the original Philly for 1/3 Less Fat Philly. Enjoy these cupcakes outdoors on a warm day with a glass of milk.
You don’t have to have the time or talent of a master chef

Cheese are worthy of any five-star restaurant, but can be prepared in under 30

Not only is this dessert absolutely heavenly and delicious, its visually appealing as well. The vibrant red of the cherries and the snow white quality of the cream cheese and cool whip mixture make it stunning. It’s great for the holidays. Add cubes of sponge or angel food cake, and blueberries, for a more decadent treat!
