Prepping for

Easiest party snack ever - a block of cream cheese with salsa generously poured over it, with tortilla chips to dip. Maybe that will help you use it up!

[@RobinsRoost]

Oh my gosh, that is a great idea! I'm always trying to use up both salsa and cream cheese. This is perfect, thanks!

You can crush the croutons and use them in meatloaf

The extra spices, especially any “specialty” spices … mixed spices, etc… REALLY good on popcorn… not the bagged microwaved butter popcorn, but “natural” popped popcorn (of course, ours is done in the microwave in a silicone bowl thingy with a silicone lid & some oil 🤣). Also, the spices can be used with stir fry veggies as well.

[@RobinsRoost]

That is brilliant! We do have a whole container of popcorn kernels (air popped is our favorite). I can't wait to try this for movie night! I bet the mac and cheese seasoning would be fab!

If you have an air fryer, those Thai green onion pancakes are great that way

[@RobinsRoost]

I do have an air fryer, thanks for the suggestion! No one wants a soggy pancake!

Seeing the Savory Spice spices… makes me wonder if you are in Oklahoma 🤣 Then again, there may be other branches that I don’t know about…

[@RobinsRoost]

Oh, I didn't know they were in Oklahoma. I order these from Savory Spice in Raleigh NC. I discovered their store while on a trip visiting family. I always over shop when I visit there store or put together an online order which is why my cabinets are over flowing :)

You can do this. Not too bad

[@RobinsRoost]

Thanks so much! It has been so nice to finally use up some of the items that regularly kept getting passed over.

You can freeze cream cheese.

[@RobinsRoost]

I had no idea you could freeze it! That would seriously take the pressure off using it all up. Is the texture the same after you thaw it?

[@givengrace3162]

I freeze mine as well. I've never noticed anything different. I buy in bulk at Costco and freeze it.

[@RobinsRoost]

I'm very excited about being able to freeze the cream cheese. I have one brick in the freezer now just as a trial run. My fingers are crossed for this!

[@lifebeyondthesalary2458]

@@RobinsRoostif you freeze it, you would use it in soups or something hot, it’s got a different texture once it’s been frozen. Still good, but you wouldn’t use it on a bagel if you know what I mean.
