It makes it more forgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese/page/2#post-2312272 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 05:28:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2312272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@farawayyama: last night's dinner turned out great. I use golden raisins in my cereal and my husband thought the cherries and apricots were those. Lol</p> <p>I ended up using boneless, skinless thighs and those were really moist. After I removed the chicken from the pan, I used a little chicken stock to lift all the pan bits and added a little cream cheese and a little orange marmalade to make a sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese/page/2#post-2312269 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 05:15:04 +0000 farawayyama 2312269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I might have to try dried cherries.

I read on a blog recently to put some chive cream cheese in between your regular cheese when grilling grilled cheese. You cant *really* taste it but it makes the whole thing gooier! :) We tried it and it was so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese#post-2311691 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 11:08:36 +0000 Pancakes 2311691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super easy and delicious fruit dip.

I use a teeny tiny 1/4 tsp (metal one) to scrape out all the seeds and membranes so we have some non spicy ones. If you leave it in, though, they can be hot as hell. I totally forgot how good these are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese#post-2311495 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 08:40:26 +0000 nana87 2311495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: This is the recipe! <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/creamy-jalapeno-popper-macaroni-and-cheese.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/creamy-jalapeno-popper-macaroni-and-cheese.html</a> except I left the Gruyere out and just used more cheddar since I don't love Swiss cheese, and I didn't use the pickled jalapeños bc it was already really spicy with the fresh ones (I did use the pickled jalapeño juice though, it was really spicy after that) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese#post-2311493 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 08:39:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2311493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: how spicy are the bacon wrapped jalapeños?

Two unique things I use it for is:</p> <p>Cream cheese pizza - using either premade crust or crust you make and parbake, spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the crust before you add pizza sauce and whatever other toppings. It's subtle, but delicious! </p> <p>I put a few dollops of cream cheese on really spicy lo-mein and nuke it in the microwave a few seconds. When I stir it together it makes a thicker creamy sauce that balances out the heat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese#post-2311456 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 08:00:51 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2311456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: yum!</p> <p>It is tasty thrown in a tomato pasta sauce. I use it to make a no bake cheesecake-cottage cheese and cream cheese mixed with vanilla and a few tablespoons of icing sugar. Spread in a pre-cooked graham cracker crust and topped with whatever pie filling flavour you like! </p> <p>It's good mixed with some other things for an apple dip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese#post-2311452 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:54:33 +0000 erinbaderin 2311452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We eat it on toast with avocado and scrambled eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese#post-2311426 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:24:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2311426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yes it is a popular recipe called million dollar spaghetti that i saw on pinterest. usually i just use cheese, but if i don't have cheese on hand, i'll put in some cream cheese! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-cream-cheese#post-2311391 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 06:27:45 +0000 Mrs. J 2311391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: yes!
