Do you sometimes get tired of plain, everyday spreads? I know I do. Sometimes I want a little 'something-something' to go on my bagel or toast, or even on some flatbread or crackers. This is definitely a treat to try next time you are looking for a change. It's especially good for a family brunch during the Holiday season (or any time).
