Simple spreads for a crowd
ColumbiaAuds’s party Wednesday night to kick-off her new Jewish Advocate dating column was a lot of fun, and the delicious cream-cheese-based spreads I provided were no small part of that success. Well, they were only a small part, but I thought they were tasty and easy, so I’ll share:
BOURSIN-STYLE SPREAD
32 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp. celery salt
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. dried parsley
BLUE CHEESE SPREAD
32 oz. cream cheese, softened
7 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
4 Tbs. finely grated sweet onion
2 Tbs. worcestershire
dashes of Tobasco to taste
For either spread, combine all ingredients and chill several hours. Serve with a variety of crackers. Each makes approximately 4 cups.

They were delicious enough to eat sans cracker. Yum!
