Wanted Garden Vegetable Cheese Spread PostedAndMailed: yes

E'd & p'd: Take a look at a package of Knorr dried vegetable soup and see if they have any recipes for cheese balls. JAT. Also, you *could* fake it with some cream cheese and some dehydrated "vegetables for soup." Look at the last one here and sub the dried veggies and seasoning mix (some of it, to taste) from the Knorr veggie soup if you can't find dried soup veggies. If you want some of the dried veggies to try it out with and can't get them locally, I can easily send you some.

Googled on recipe + "vegetable cheese ball" and got some.
