Cheese Ball….Delicious For Any Occasion
When I was growing up my mom made a delicious Cheese Ball. Her recipe had crushed pineapple in it and it was so addicting. Oh my gosh I loved it. Following that tradition I make Cheese Balls every holiday season and they are gone in a flash. During the holidays you see all those fake cheese balls in the store and they cost a lot!!
