My kids love bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. They especially love flavored cream cheese. Every time I go to the store I look at the price difference between the two and think "okay I will buy the plain". So I decided to make my own. Here were two we tried out the other day. I loved them and feel free to experiment with whatever you have on hand, fruit, spices, herbs, etc.
Orange Cream Cheese
