Holiday's Over for another Year!

As I write this I am facing a very busy day getting ready for our Lloyd Christmas. I know Pa Lloyd will be taking the Christmas decorations down the day after everyone leaves! It’s so bitter cold, I feel almost guilty having my family come out in this weather when I’m reluctant to venture out to the grocery store! Yesterday my birthday group traveled to West Concord for a birthday lunch at our friend Bev Chicos’ home. It was a warm cozy afternoon with special friends in a beautifully holiday decorated home for delicious food. It was just the jump start I needed for my busy day today. The recipe I am sharing with you comes from my friend Alice Struss. She says it’s great dipped in ginger or vanilla wafer cookies. She made it for her granddaughter, who is on a gluten free diet, as is my granddaughter,. Luckily you can buy gluten free vanilla wafers and ginger snaps, so I too am going to try it for my granddaughter!

3 oz. cream cheese
