My samples included Whipped Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread, Whipped Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread, Spreadable Jalapeno Pepper Cheese, and Pepper Jack Cheese Slices. Every cheese I have tried has turned out be delicious.
First, I tried the Spreadable Jalapeno Pepper Cheese on Triscuits. The kids and I both enjoyed this. The Spreadable Jalapeno Pepper Cheese is a 1 PointPlus Value.
For breakfast, I had a half of wheat bagel with the Whipped Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread.
This made the wheat bagel taste a whole lot better!
The Whipped Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread is a 2 PointPlus Value.
Finally, I tried one of the recipes I was provided called the Grilled Veggie Pizza, which used the Whipped Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread. Since the weather was bad and I was not grilling out, I made this recipe in the oven broiling the vegetables and using Olive Oil.
My kids were not too sure of this at first, but my 6 year old said it tasted good and I thought it was yummy as well. However, since this is made with cream cheese, and not mozzarella, you will need a fork since the veggies tend to fall off the pizza. The Whipped Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread is a 2 PointPlus Value.
