National Cheese Ball Day
April 17 is National Cheese Ball Day, a celebration of that ubiquitous party food. Not only is it easy to make (or buy), but it’s a rare person that doesn’t enjoy cheese. Consider making this Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball from CDRecipes.com for your next party:
Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 pound grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onions
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 Clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons pimiento, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Form into a ball; cover with plastic film. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Serves eight.

I love the idea of making my own rather than buying one that’s full of chemical preservatives! Thanks, Sandy!
