A very nice addition to fancy up a cookie tin or plate!! I have made these most Holiday seasons but never with the cream cheese, what a great addition!! and they are delicious!! Thanks for the cream cheese idea, will probably never make them any other way now. Dec16/06 Made for an office appie luncheon. placed them on the platter in a wheel and filled in the spokes with pinwheel sammies. Got lots of compliments on the setting on the platter. and how delicious they tasted!! Thanks!!

I had little time this morning to make my contribution for about 20 monks coming to the Tree Trimming Party tonight in our deanery at Saint John's Abbey so I kept it quite simple. I split the dates and turned them all upside down.on a tray dusted with sugar. Then I filled each with cream cheese and a piece of California walnut. I arranged them on a bright serving dish and covered it with plastic wrap before putting them in the refrigerator until needed early this evening. --Bro. Richard osb.

I live in CA for now, but am originally from the East Coast. I still mourn the wonderful pizza I used to eat--here, what passes for pizza wouldn't be considered edible back home.
I LOVE to cook when I have the time, especially dishes from the Middle East, North Africa, and Italy (my husband is Moroccan, my father was Italian). I also find culinary history interesting. I enjoy collecting cookbooks and trying out new recipes.
Moroccan cookery is my newest passion and I love reading about the different regional variations on dishes. By the way, to those of you who have gone to "Moroccan" restaurants in the States, please note: falafel and hummous dip are not Moroccan. Any place that advertises them as such is suspect! :)
