Touchdown Herb & Lemon Cream Cheese Spread

By

I like to prepare this “Touchdown Herb and Lemon Cream Cheese Spread” the day before the big game and refrigerate overnight. Love to serve it on slices of cocktail bread. They are so adorable and somehow just feel more chic than a box of crackers! You can even have a little fun by garnishing with additional slices of radish, a sprig of dill, or a little lemon zest.
