MAPLE CRANBERRY SPREAD AND A CHARMING NEW YEAR!

So tomorrow happens to be my one year blogiversary for Silo Hill Farm and I wanted to share two things with you.  A recipe (which I rarely do) and something from my first post ever. 

Lets start with the recipe because I know so many of you made a New Years resolution that is diet related and this recipe can be made very low fat if you would like and I promise you it will still taste delicious!  It's a Maple Cranberry Spread....check it out.



Looks seriously good doesn't it!  It is so good on an English muffin, a waffle (my favorite), a bagel, toast, etc.  Heck, I like it as a spread on a turkey sandwich too!  It also looks beautiful on any brunch table. But, enough talk, lets get right to it.  You only need 4 simple ingredients and a few minutes to make this.



1 8oz. pkg. Cream Cheese, softened 
1/2 C. Dried Cranberries
1/3 C. Maple Syrup
1/4 C. Chopped, Toasted Pecans

In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients with an electric mixer.  Cover and refrigerate several hours.
 Makes 1-1/2 Cups

Wasn't that easy?  And so good too!  Trust me! (Especially the part about being good on a toasted waffle.)
Now...the other thing.....
This was part of my first blog post a year ago tomorrow.  It's good, timeless information, so I'm sharing it again for this coming year.  It was a little piece of paper that fell out of a magazine my neighbor gave me. 



 Have a Happy and a Charming New Year!! 

Come see me any time!

  1. I love cranberry sauce on turkey sandwiches, so I'm betting I will love this. I'll do the low fat version because I am on that diet bandwagon myself in 2013!

  7. Two little gifts here! Thanks. Can't wait to try the recipe out on the left-over turkey I cooked for our guests yesterday. Even better though, is that short, sweet, and amusing reminder of how to treat others.
