Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• cream cheese
• fruit
• butter
• herbs
• various other dairy items

1. Make various types of flavored buttered. Honey butter, herb butter, cinnamon butter, and garlic butter are just a few delicious suggestions.

2. Find an easy homemade pimento cheese recipe online or in a cookbook and take the small amount of time required to make your own pimento cheese. Experiment with adding different types of cheese to the standard recipe. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 pound of cheddar cheese, you could reduce that to 3/4 pound of cheddar and add 1/4 pound of Colby, or some other variety of cheese.

3. Dairy month gives you a good excuse to prepare and enjoy cheesecake. The options for a variety of flavors and textures in cheesecake is almost limitless.

4. Have a fruit and cheese party. Or, make a fruit and cheese platter for a family dinner on the weekend. It's a good way to keep from heating up the kitchen on a hot evening. Be adventurous and buy cheeses that are new to you. Try different types of cheese spreads and cheese dips with crackers and chips.
