"I clipped this recipe out of a Cooking Light magazine over 10 years ago, and never got around to making it. I hope to change that soon! The magazine description said 'this satisfying spread is good to have on hand when guests arrive on Friday evening. Serve at room temperature with crackers and bread'. I'm posting the recipe with no changes, though I will personally leave out the crushed red pepper myself."
