Recipes

I have found my kids REALLY like Nature’s Harvest® bread. Every time I buy it, they cannot wait to get into it. Which is cool because it s high in whole grains and tastes great. Good combination right? This time, I told them I needed to create some recipes with it, so they needed to hold off. When I finally said they could have some, they tore into it like they haven’t haven’t eaten in months.

When I was thinking about what Dory Inspired recipes to make, my first thought was – It is summer. It has to be something that isn’t hot because the heat and humidity hear in North Carolina lately has been OPPRESSIVE! I also wanted to make sure it was something I wanted to eat. I like a good food too!

So here they are, my Dory Inspired recipes. What do you think?

First, we need to start with the ‘base’ of both recipes.

Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese Spread/Dip Recipe

Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese Spread

Ingredients

(1)  8 oz. block cream cheese, room temperature

2 tbsp milk

2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced – I used two because I knew my kids were going to be eating it and 3 cloves seemed to be too garlicky.

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/8 tsp onion powder

Directions
1. In a medium bowl, mix milk and cream cheese until creamy.
2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Put the Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese spread in a covered container in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Voila! DONE!
Ok, now for the Dory inspired recipes!
