Creating a Cheese Log is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and let the cream cheese soften at room temperature.

3. Add Flavors: Stir in the chopped herbs, bell pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Form the Log: Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to shape it into a log or cylinder. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
