Orange Cream Cheese Spread

It's not always easy to get the family to sit down for breakfast together, especially on a weekday morning, but we don't have to depend on cereal alone as the speedy meal of choice. Bagels can offer a variety with simplicity. This spread is easy to prepare and offers an alternative to butter and jam. I serve fruit along side for a filling meal. Blessings...

Recipe:   

2 tbsps. packed light brown sugar
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp. finely grated orange zest
1 tbsp. orange juice

Beat all the ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.

Yield: 1/4 cup
Note: the recipe can easily be doubled, taste for the strength of the orange flavor to make sure it is to your liking.
