Recipe: Cheese Balls
Cheese Balls
2 (8 oz.) pkg. low fat cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup bell pepper (finely chopped) (*you choose colors of bell peppers)
2 tbsp. onion (finely chopped)
1 tbsp. seasoning salt
2 cups nuts
Combine all ingredients and place in place wrap; roll into a ball; chill for 4-6 hours and serve.
*Johnna's tip: Recently, one of our Twitter buddies requested a recipe from the 80's. We searched our brain for a recipe that was straight out of this punk era and the one thing that came to mind was Cheese Balls. In 1989, we were absolutely in love with the Babysitters Club book series (*We seriously read every book out of that teenage series). Cheese balls seemed to be Claudia's favorite dish to make when the club members got together which is what made us think this must have been the cuisine of the times (*well for teens that is...). Thinking about the Babysitters Club makes us miss the 80's immensely! Love the stories about Jess, Mallory and aww Stacey living at the Dakota! Funny we can still remember their names and stories like they were family members or real-life friends...
*Johnna's tip, tip: Serve with your favorite crackers or dippers such as celery or carrots.
