Chive & Onion Cream Cheese

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
