My hubby likes to help me come up with recipe ideas, and when he suggested pinwheels with a chive and onion cream cheese, I knew the cream cheese needed to be made from scratch so I could keep it lower in fat! So I went to my spice drawer and got to work!
Here's what you'll need:
- 8 ounces ⅓ less fat cream cheese, softened
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon dried or fresh chives
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir until combined and smooth
How to use:
- Use as a dip for crackers and pretzels
- Use as a spread for pinwheels, sandwiches, and wraps
- Form into a ball and add to a charcuterie board
- Stir into mashed potatoes
- Spread on celery and sliced bell peppers for an easy low carb snack
