Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_carb'], recipe: let cream cheese soften at least an hour at room temperature. add water chestnuts and garlic - i've never measured this, but my guess is about 2 heaping teaspoons. mix well (ok - i admit it, i use my hands, it's just easier). shape into a ball and place in airtight container. chill at least one hour. before serving coat outside with with parsley. serve with bland crackers - pretty much anything works, but well -- everything tastes better on a ritz.

Target recipe: combine cream cheese and cheddar cheese, mixing until well blended. add remaining ingredients; mix well. chill for 1/2-1 hour and then form into a ball. roll ball in the chopped nuts until well covered. keep in refrigerator until ready to serve. can be made up to 48 hrs prior to serving.
