Cheese Ball!

Guys. Cheese!!!! Something we can all gather around and agree is delicious. A cheese ball is a wonderful thing– if it’s made correctly. Not everyone can just whip up a cheese ball and call it a successful thing. You’ve got to have the right cheeses, to start. And no problem there with three creamy, delicate cheeses: classic Old English, Blue Roka, and of course, cream cheese. The mix of the cheeses is to die for– and then once you add the salt and pepper and Worcestershire– Yummy!

Parsley and Pecans

Good cheese balls have a lovely crust on the outside to help the ball hold its shape and add some texture. And while pecans and parsley may be an unusual combination to throw on the outside, boy does it work! The pecans add a lovely nuttiness against the parsley wonderful herb-alicious flavor. And it adds a different texture that works super well.
