If you are anything like me you stock up on cream cheese when it goes on sale in December. Then I stash it in my freezer and wonder what in the world I’m going to do with all that cream cheese! Thanks to the participants of Iron Chef Mom’s Cream Cheese Battle, we have the answer! Here are over 50 recipes for using cream cheese!
It was so hard to choose which recipes to include, so I just used them all! From dips to desserts, cream cheese is a yummy and popular ingredient for any meal and any dish. Try not to drool….
