I made the Adorable Thanksgiving Project that I posted over the weekend. The little Gobbler's turned out so cute! I'm putting one at each placesetting and iced the name on the back of the striped cookie (tail).
Is Book Club right in the middle of a million other things and it's your turn to bring the snack?
-OR-
Are you joining others for dinner? Did they say, "No. Don't bring a thing, just yourself." But the hostess in you is saying . . . bring something!
Here's a quick fail-proof recipe for a cheeseball. You can do it in a quick hurry!
CHEESEBALL RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
2 8oz Cream Cheese
1/4 cup finely diced peppers (Your choice red, green for Christmas and yellow, red for Thanksgiving makes it festive!)
2 TB finely chopped onion
1 8.5oz crushed pineapple (drained)
1 1/2 tsp season salt
2 C chopped pecans
What to do?
Plop all the ingredients (EXCEPT 1c of the chopped pecans) in a big bowl.
Mix the ingredients well.
Form into a ball (or several small ones or make a shape!)
Roll in the pecans.
All done. Serve with Crackers, Pita Chips or Pretzels.
Presentation Ideas::
Option 1-Wrap in clear plastic wrap and tie off with a ribbon, pipe cleaner or bag twistie
Option 2-Get a cutting board from the Dollar Store and place your cheeseball on that with a hand towel as wrapping. The perfect hostess gift.
Option 3-Place the cheeseball in a pretty bowl that you can leave behind
Have fun with it!
My favorite wrapping tool:: Wide wire ribbon. You can't go wrong. It always looks pretty.
Have a delightful time, and enjoy this scrumptious appetizer.
