Currently I am sitting at my in-laws, little man is napping and the boys (i.e. husband and friends) have headed to the lake for the afternoon. I think all boys need a day with their buddies, no wives, no kids, no nagging, so that is what I gave them.
Thankfully, tomorrow all of us are headed to the lake - babies, kids, ladies and all. So, I'm looking forward to that. Until then, I'll sit in a quiet house and enjoy it.
Since I'm not at home, I cannot just run over to the kitchen and whip something up, but I thought I would share a cheese spread I created last week for the farmer's market. It's simple and easy, and can be eaten on crackers, with relishes, and my favorite as a spread on sandwiches.
Spinach Herb Cheese Spread
8 oz. cream cheese
4 T. Tastefully Simple Spinach & Herb Seasoning (dried spinach flakes, dried onion, dill, parsley, dried garlic)
1 T. garlic salt
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
Let cream cheese come to room temperature. Mix all seasonings into cream cheese and chill for at least an hour.
*If you don't have access to this seasoning mix, simply add the above mentioned seasonings until desired taste*
I'd like nothing better right now than a hot panini slathered with this stuff. Yum!
What are everyone's weekend plans? Tomorrow and Sunday are lake days for us. I need to head to Walmart and see if they carry life jackets for the little man....anyone know if they do? I'm in a small town, so unfortunately Walmart is my only option.
If not, we'll play on the beach:)
MMMMMM this looks lovely and cooling! Enjoy your quiet day with that sweet baby boy.

ReplyDeleteThat spread sounds excellent! I love anything with cream cheese.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I am hanging out with friends - a little slumber party of sorts, and then taking it easy at home.
have a great time at the lake! and yes they do make life jackets for babies...or infants. make sure it has what i call a "head rest" this insures that if he lands in the water it will flip him over! the others without it will not flip him over!
ReplyDeleteI agree, men need their time and their space, away from us, just like we do. I hope you enjoyed that time, I know I always do!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. Sounds delicious.
