Next time you have plain cream cheese in the fridge ready for your bagels, double-check what other ingredients you have in the kitchen.
Here are three simple recipes to elevate your cream cheese spread: your classic veggie cream cheese (with extra garlic and scallions), cinnamon sugar for the days you're looking for something a little sweeter in the morning, and honey-thyme to mix things up from your regular routine. They all take 5 minutes or less—you're in for a treat!
Eat Well.
