Feta pine nut spread

Why it's titled a 'feta pine nut' spread is beyond me... I thought that the sun-dried tomatoes were a more dominant flavor than the pine nuts, but oh well.  It is what it is.

FETA PINE NUT SPREAD:

Combine the following in a food processor: 1/3 cup drained sundried tomatoes, 3 Tbsp toasted pine nuts, 1 garlic clove, 2 Tbsp chopped basil (or 2 tsp dried), 1 tsp lemon juice.  Blend until mixed and chopped.  Add 8 oz cream cheese and 7 oz feta cheese.  Blend until combined but still chunky. 

This is great on crackers, but I thought it might also be good on bagels...

The world we live in...

So this week was our annual Steering Team Retreat to plan out MOPS meetings for this next year. I have to tell you, we are excited! This year's theme is "Together on Planet Mom". This theme is so fitting, especially for the way that life has become. We are all affected in some way by this crazy economy, life is busy, and we are ALL worn thin.

This is the time, more than ever that we need to be together! We have planned our MOPS meeting agenda's around how to plan for our families, how we can re-use what we have, or what other's have, and how we can save money for our families!

So, along these lines, if any of you need help with dues, please let one of us on the Steering Team know, we will do our best to provide scholarships, lend an ear & be there for support.

We are so looking forward to this upcoming year. It should be a great one!

FYI - Our first MOPS meeting will be Wednesday September 9th, at 9:30. Hope to see you there!
