Creamy Italian Cheese Bread Spread #Recipe

My friends and I get together every couple of months for a family night.  The kids will all play together while the parents talk and catch up.  We don’t usually have a sit down meal, but will all nibble on lots of great appetizers throughout the night.  I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes to bring for family night: Creamy Italian Bread.  It’s so easy to make and is always a huge hit!
