CREAM CHEESE, HAVARTI, AND PARMESAN HERBED CHRISTMAS TREE
This delicious cream cheese-based appetizer is a great addition to any holiday party and is always a hit with guests due to its festive look! I have typically made this recipe for parties with the light or reduced fat options instead of regular and everyone has said it tastes great and looks even better. After the tree has reached desired firmness, set it on your serving platter and top the tree with lemon peel cut into the shape of a star. Serve with your choice of crackers. Triscuits® or Wheat Thins® work great!

CHRISTMAS CHEESE SPREAD
Aunt Mildred (a friend of our family) used to make this every Christmas and give it out as gifts. My mom begged for the recipe for years before Aunt Mildred gave it to her--with the stipulation she couldn't pass it on until after Aunt Mildred was dead. Both Mom and Aunt Mildred have passed away, so I am sharing it with you!
