DIY // Flavored Cream Cheese

One of my absolute favorite things to eat is a bagel with cream cheese.  I kid you not, I could munch on this every meal of the day.  With that being said, the classic that I love can get a little dull.  So, why not spice it up with things that you most likely already have in your kitchen?  Make your own flavored cream cheese!  And try spreading it on more than just a bagel, I dare you...

SWEET…
