Cheese balls! I used to love cheese balls. They are not served out west like they were in the Midwest I’ll have to try these. My favorite is still the old dried beef one, my Mom made every Christmas. 💕

These look delicious. I'm going to try them for New Year. Love cheese balls. We always make a cheese ball of cream cheese, chopped black olives, green onions and diced green chiles. Then we roll it in finely chopped parsley and cilantro. The longer the cream cheese mixture sits the better. We have also made one with a mixture of cream cheese, goat cheese with a bit of cream, black pepper, dried cranberries and dill then roll it in very finely chopped almonds. Cheese balls are one of those recipes that can be adapted to any flavor. Mix the cream cheese with ricotta, mozzarella and chopped sundried tomatoes. Roll it in chopped nuts mixed with a bit of parmesan. These make great gifts. Make three flavors and roll into 3" balls or disks, package them with crackers and some olives for a great hostess gift. Oh man, now I have to make one of these balls. Can't wait until New Year!

[susanbohan]

Did you know Worcestershire sauce is made from anchovies!! Lol Great Christmas vlogs Thank you 🎄

[bradybrowning]

Thanks for sharing this Jen! I love to cook but I think it’s so easy to get in a rut and forget my love of cooking with little kids running around and of course their sometimes picky appetites. I love your videos and you keep inspiring me to remember my love for cooking. I would have never thought to make my own cheese ball but now I can’t wait to try it!

A life changing kitchen gadget I just got, and love is the Prep Solutions microwaveable grill from Amazon. It turns out perfect, crispy bacon and there is no mess on my stove top to clean! My husband is a bacon snob and it has to be crunchy, not greasy and done fast. When you are done, you just rinse off and put in the microwave. I also work for a hospital system and am up at 4:30am four days a week. I can pop in 3 slices of bacon and it’s done perfectly in 2 3/4 minutes so I start out my day with a hot breakfast. Merry Christmas!

[KaitlinGeorge]

These look so good! Bacon on the classic cheese ball would also be so good! Also, my daughter loves your intro music, she dances every time it come on, lol
