I like to start preparing for our annual Thanksgiving feast well ahead of time. Sometimes I will practice new recipes in October to see if they will fit into our Thanksgiving feast for November. We have a lot to be thankful for this year and I want our celebration to be really special. I decided to take a couple of recipes that I was thinking of making and switch out the butter with Brummel & Brown Yogurt Spread.
I have loved Brummel & Brown yogurt spread for several years now. I remember the first time I purchased it I had plans for some thick onion bagels to be topped with butter, cream cheese and strawberries. As soon as I saw the Brummel & Brown Strawberry Spread on the grocer shelf I knew I wanted to try it and I tossed my cream cheese and butter back on the shelf. I saved myself a lot of calories and fat with their spread in comparison to butter. I’ve always thought that their spreads were super creamy and really delicious.
I have decided to share my very best cheesy garlic bread recipe and a summery flashback strawberry pie. I hope they will be a great addition to your holiday feast this year.
