This colorful red-orange hue colorful mixture is perfect to make and store in the fridge for awhile.  I use it for quick lunches or as a cracker spread for snacks and if I have guests over.  The flavor components include: garlic, black pepper, and creamy cream cheese!  It’s definitely a go-to quick meal.
