Garlic & Cheese Herb Spread

1 12 oz whipped cream cheese
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
3/4 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp onion powder

gently stir all ingredients together. Store in fridge for at least a couple of hours before serving. Stir before serving, serve with your favorite crackers.

NOTES / TIPS:
I've used an 8 oz block of cream cheese that I beat with handheld mixer and a few tsp of milk. Not as spreadable when cold though, so you may need to let it sit out for a bit before serving.
Fresh garlic is best, but can use garlic powder. If using garlic salt, which I do NOT recommend, eliminate the salt.
