This weekend a friend gave me fresh banana peppers from her garden. Armed with 2 1/2 of them, I chopped them with my Pampered Chef food chopper and tossed them in with a block of cream cheese (1/3 fat style which is softer than regular but doesn't taste as bad as fat free). Let set for the flavors to mingle and served with two kinds of crackers; a thin wheat cracker and a popular brand vegetable cracker. I love this stuff so much I could eat the whole thing!
