Breakfast Spread

Orange Honey Cream Cheese

I managed to run out of butter, and wanted Toast. (Poor timing)

Necessity is the mother of invention.

I *did* have an 8 oz block of Cream Cheese.

Put it in a bowl, attacked it with my electric mixer.

added:

6 drops of Blood Orange oil. (Because I couldn't find the Sweet Orange.)

It was a bit "bitter" from the Blood Orange.

Added perhaps a scant 2 Tablespoonsful of honey. (I estimated, that's a guess, you might start with less.)

Continued to beat until it was really fluffy. YUMMMY.

And, refrigerated, covered, it stays fluffy and "spreadable".

This morning I baked some of those Scones that I blogged about last week. My son had some of the left over Orange Cream Cheese on them.

*wonderful stuff*
