    I know I am not alone when I say that this time of year wears me out.

    Don't get me wrong; fall is my favorite time of year.

    I love football season, cooler weather, outdoor entertaining and even gearing up for the holidays.

    It is just that the change in schedule that back to school brings is always a little overwhelming.

    Because of this, if I want to enjoy what to me is the best season for outdoor entertaining, keeping it simple is a must.

    Today's Horseradish Dill Schmear is proof that keeping it simple doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice taste.

    One bite and you won't believe that this schmear has just four ingredients!

    (I am pretty sure this is the only recipe on the website that has so few ingredients!)

    It is perfectly paired with Breton Artisanal Sweet Potato and Ancient Grains crackers!

    The whole family loves the great taste of all the varieties of Breton Crackers, and I love that they are made with wholesome, real ingredients. Busy lives need simple solutions, and Breton crackers offer me just that!

    I love how Breton offers so many different varieties of flavors and textures! There are endless ways to enjoy them. I like to use them to accompany simple appetizers like this Horseradish Dill Schmear, but they are also delicious right out of the box. I've been dying to get creative and use them to make a delicious crust - wouldn't Breton Artisanal Cranberry and Ancient Grains be fabulous as a crust this fall?

    What are your favorite ways to keep things simple?

      You described the cracker so well when you talk about the texture. A great texture makes the flavors taste so much better. I have got to try that dip for my next party or holiday.

      Now this looks like a delicious treat to have. I love horse radish, it really is a great flavor. I am going to give this treat a try when we have our guests over.

      I love that you used the word schmear. I always have cream cheese on hand, it's useful for so many things including schmears.

      I love the recipe. This would be a great appetizer when I am running late making dinner. The kids can munch on their veggies dipped in this horseradish dill schmear. Great way to get those veggies in them while I go ahead and finish up cooking dinner.
