Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_calorie'], 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: spray a heavy-bottomed saucepan with cooking spray (pam). bring 2 cups water, onion, instant chicken bouillion, garlic, pepper and butter to a boil. add grits to the boiling mixture. reduce heat to low and cook, covered, 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until grits soften. add half and half and cheese; stir until cheese melts. serve hot.
