NEW Philadelphia Cooking Creme

Have you tried Philadelphia Cooking Creme yet?  It's an easy-to-blend spoonable creme that can be stirred in with your favorite ingredients for a deliciously creamy, simple, & quick meal.  It currently comes in four flavors; original, Santa Fe, Savory Garlic, and Italian Cheese and Herb.
I first tried this new product while visiting Kraft kitchens last November and had been dying to try it at home ever since.  It's sort of a cream cheese that is pre melted down into consistency easily folded in with your favorite ingredients for a yummy quick meal.  Recipe suggestions are included on the package itself with another recipe or two under the cover for further variety.  Still more can be found in a Cooking Creme section on the Kraft Philadelphia Website.
Kraft recently sent me all four flavors to play around with at home.  I used the Italian Cheese & Herb as a sauce for some basic Gnocchi with a bit of cooked ham & peas.  It was a huge hit!  Also a crowd pleaser was the Enchilada suggestion on the back of the Santa Fe Blend.  Mmm!
