Quick and easy and very yummy. They would have been a tad better with a bit of garlic. -
Me and my mom liked this recipe but I felt like something was missing. Some seasoning. I had low fat cream cheese (we don't have fat free in Montreal). DH didn't like it at all because of the cream cheese. Thanks Annacia. Made for Zaar Star Game. -
A simple and easy way of dressing up my veggies for tonight's meal! I used creme fraiche and a little black pepper instead of cream cheese and white pepper - lovely thanks Annacia! Made for ZWT3. FT:-) -
I'm always looking for new ways to serve veggies in an effort to get my fussy 21 mth old DD to eat them, Sadly this one was still a no go for her but mummy & daddy enjoyed it, thanks. Made for ZWT III. -
Easy and Delicious!! I used light cream cheese instead of fat-free cream cheese (personal preference) and followed everything else. Excellent side dish! Thanks Annacia!
