I have to be honest. I am stumped. I wrote this post 3 times and nothing sounds right.  So, I decided on something short and sweet....

This is a brand new recipe for me.  Cream cheese danish....you must try this, it's fabulously easy and just plain scrumptious.  Perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert or hey, just to snack on.   Another great one for the holidays.
