apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The goat cheese one sounds yum. And yes, it does look like a golf ball. I hate spectator sports. This is why I married a nerd.

whatever, this is awesome.

I love this recipe for a Roquefort cheese roll. My family gobbled it up in about half an hour.

i love ANY kind of cheese ball

The most popular cheese ball recipe in my family is actually a crab ball. And it is really easy too.
Use one package of cream cheese (I leave it out a little while to soften) and one can of crab meat. Mash it all together until it is mixed thoroughly, then form into a ball. Cover with cocktail sauce (also easy to make, it is just ketchup and horseradish). It is so awesome on crackers.

How about some rocking Southern pimento cheese instead? My mom makes the best--lots of grated Cabot white cheddar cheese, plenty of diced roasted red peppers, a tiny bit of grated onion, a very generous grinding of black pepper, and just enough mayo to combine (not drowning in the stuff!). Perfect for all kinds of crackers and for little sandwiches too.

I think it's sort of tacky. I wouldn't serve anything that looked like this. It reminds me of some of my old fifties cookbooks with pictures of meat gelatin molds et cetera.

Its definitely tacky but certain events really call for tacky otherwise known as fun---I'm not having caviar on toast points for the super bowl.

I love a cheeseball! Who cares if it looks "tacky?" I think that's part of the charm, I don't think Kraft means for it to be served at an Inaugural Ball!

Last week my mom made one with chopped jalapeno peppers and green olives, topped with paprika instead of nuts, had a nice kick to it.

I feel that this is incredably tacky and incredably awesome. I would eat so much of that I would be dearly sorry later. But... maybe happily sorry. This reminds me so much of my family.

I love it! Then again, I'm the girl who made a cheeseball turkey for Thanksgiving:

I guess it's just an American thing. I'm from Europe, and we don't do things like this.

This image looks like something a fat woman that shops at Wal-Mart would make. Sorry.

Fade on violet is dead on. It ranks right up there with that seven layer taco dip that suburban housewives love to make. Ick.

I don't like football, but hey, if you can't eat stuff like this at a Superbowl party, when can you eat it? It seems like just the thing to serve, along with that taco dip!
