I have been in the process of packing up my belongings. Yes, again. In so doing, I have cooked very little this summer. A last-minute invitation to a barbecue meant I had to bring a snack. Ordinarily, I use these times to shine, "fun-food" being the kind I do best. Sadly, I have neither time, ambition nor a fully stocked kitchen to create such a fun masterpiece.
Instead, I prepared an easy dip. You spread a brick of cream cheese in the bottom of a bowl (or whatever container you might have on hand. A pie plate will work well too.) You top that cream cheese with a pepper jelly, anything sweet or spicy will do. Serve with some Triscuit crackers and you're all set.
Easy. No effort involved. Good because you don't have to turn your stove on.
