Imagine a snowman standing more than a foot tall, on a platter surrounded by fresh veggies, crisp crackers and salami. Guests will wonder what they’re supposed to do with him, until they dip into his luscious "snow" or cut into him for a chunk of his insides. Then they’ll keep returning for more, until the poor snowman is left looking like his brothers Frosty or Olaf on a warm day.     Here’s the recipe which is just one of 75 recipes in [***The Phony Gourmet***](https://shop.cluborganized.com/phony-gourmet), which is now 75% off at a clearance price of $5 plus postage and handling.

Guests will wonder what they’re supposed to do with him, until they dip into his luscious "snow" or cut into him for a chunk of his insides. Then they’ll keep returning for more, until the poor snowman is left looking like his brothers Frosty or Olaf on a bad day.     Here’s the recipe which is just one of 75 recipes in [***The Phony Gourmet***](https://shop.cluborganized.com/phony-gourmet), which is now at a low clearance price of $5 plus postage and handling. This hardback cookbook originally sold for $15.           **Cream Cheese and Garlic Snowman** Serves 15 party animals   1 8-inch round loaf French bread 1 5-inch round loaf French bread 1 round French roll 2 8-ounce packages Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese (original) softened 2 teaspoons Lawry’s Garlic Powder Coarse Ground with Parsely 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/3 cup milk ¼ cup instant mashed potato flakes 1 leaf red cabbage (snowman’s scarf) 1 baby carrot (nose) 8 peppercorns (eyes and mouth) 5 coffee beans (buttons) 2 cinnamon sticks (arms) 1 cardboard toilet paper tube (hat) 1 square of black felt (hat) 1 (15-inch) wooden skewer (spinal column)   1. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, garlic, seasoned salt, onion powder, and milk until smooth. 2. Place the larger loaf of bread on a large serving platter. Frost with half the cream cheese mixture. Stick the wooden skewer through the middle of the large loaf. Stick the medium-size loaf onto the skewer to make the second “snowball.” Frost the second ball, leaving enough cream cheese mixture to frost the third ball. Stick the French roll onto the skewer for the snowman’s head. Frost, and decorate, using items suggested in the ingredients. 3. After the snowman is decorated, shake the instant potato flakes all over him. They look just like snow and are remarkably tasty with the cream cheese “frosting.”   *The Phony Gourmet* came close to being a cooking show on television, but my sister and I weren’t willing to live five months out of the year in LA. Our six kids needed us at home. This video is the open from the pilot show.     [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/shocking-hors-doeuvres-from-the-phony-gourmet-0) Topics: [Entertainment for Mom](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/entertainment-for-mom), [Recipes](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/recipes) # [A Shocking Hors D'oeuvres recipe from The Phony Gourmet](https://blog.cluborganized.com/shocking-hors-doeuvres-from-the-phony-gourmet) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Jan 15, 2016 3:30:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hubfs/phony_cover.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/shocking-hors-doeuvres-from-the-phony-gourmet)  **Edible "Indoor" Snowman** Imagine serving this hors d'oeuvres at your next party: A snowman standing more than a foot tall, on a platter surrounded by raw vegetables or cocktail crackers.

As usual, their television talk show hosts were somewhat speechless (that happened a lot!) when they'd shove coat hangers into tights and smear their faces with Karo syrup and coffee grounds. The important lesson here is when we become more organized we set the stage to play with our creativity. We become *creatives*! Clutter gets in the way of our creativity. Decluttering and ending your "stuff management" days will pave the way to fun, creativity, new adventures and excitement on Halloween as well as* all *the days of the year!

I call them **happiness sappers** and with just a few changes you'll eliminate stress and be on your way to the joy you were born to experience.   **1.** **News**: News is just official gossip. My definition of an investigative reporter is: an authorized, nosey gossip. I stopped watching or listening to the news after 9/11. I figure Terry, who was a television reporter, will inform me if I need to pack up and head for the hills. **2.** **Gossip**: Since I’ve cut out the official gossip, why would I want to indulge in any unofficial info?            **3. Calendar that’s too small: **A big happiness sapper is having a calendar that’s so small you can’t read your personal shorthand. “3pmTk grm Dr. rmb t tk nts.” A month later when you're trying to figure out what the heck you’re supposed to be doing on that day, chances are you'll never figure out you're supposed to take Grandma to the doctor at 3 p.m. and you need to take notes. Say goodbye to little-squared **happiness sappers**.   [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/8-happiness-sappers-to-avoid-today) Topics: [Tools for Moms](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/tools-for-moms), [Entertainment for Mom](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/entertainment-for-mom), [Habits](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/habits) [All posts](https://blog.cluborganized.com/all) ### Subscribe to Pam's Blog! ### Recommended Posts ### Posts by Month -
