Artichoke, Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese Spread

Continuing with my love of artichokes, here’s a savory spin to break the monotony of your basic cheese spread. Serve with pita chips or crackers, or make toast cut-outs (I used multi-grain bread for mine) from your favorite cookie cutter. And, punching out the bread shapes is a great and easy way to get the kiddos involved in the kitchen without creating a huge mess for mom to clean up later. When choosing the herbs, I just selected my favorites and the ones I thought would work well together.
