To me, that just means I definitely need the recipe because they will be delicious!

Cheeseball Spiders

7 ½ oz softened cream cheese (look for the dividing lines on your cream cheese)

12 oz (by weight) shredded cheese (we used Mexican blend)

4 oz (by weight) shredded cheese for rolling in a separate bowl

½ oz softened cream cheese for eyes

Black food coloring paste to color eyes

Chow Mein noodles for legs

Round Crackers for base



Whip Cream cheese and shredded cheese until fully combined and soft. Whip Cream cheese and black food coloring until soft and combined. Choose your cracker… We used good thins rice & cheese snacks (three cheese). Choose a meat ball scoop that fits the cracker with a little space left over for the cracker. Spray the scoop with oil. Scoop the balls, then roll them in the mixed cheese and place on crackers. Add eight legs, then pipe the eyes onto each spider.



Recipe note: This was great, but suspect would be better if adding some chives and black pepper or other spices. Play and have fun.

Note 2: 1 cup shredded cheese = ~ 4oz weight

Note 3: ½ oz of cream cheese = ~ 1 TBS

Excellent!

I think cheese balls need to get more air time, they used to be at every party. It's time to bring them back!

I agree, there's so many ways to make them and most of them are easy peasy

A cake my sister and I made together. She did all of the baking, and I decorated it.

You guys are all so talented.

I don't really want to make the cheese balls, but I definitely want to eat them.

Borsch

Ingredients:

• Diced onions (about ½ medium onion)
• chopped cabbage (about 3 cups)
• 2 cloves of medium size garlic, grated or pressed
• Water or broth (6-8 cups and then add more as needed. For broth I like to use beef, I boil the beef for about 2 hours then remove it from the broth and add it at the end together with beets) You can use vegetable broth, or just water.
• Diced tomatoes, about 2 tablespoons (canned or freshly diced)
• 1 tablespoon of ketchup, or tomato paste
• 2 or 3 medium to large sized peeled beets, may have stems (grate, or slice beets raw; cut up steams)
• 1 or 2 medium carrots (grated, or sliced)
• 2-3 medium potatoes (I prefer yellow, diced)
• Bell pepper, about ¼ cup (diced)
• Fresh dill, (2 tablespoons, diced, I love a lot of dill)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon of white vinegar
• 1-2 Bay leafs
• Optional ingredients: White beans (my grandmother was Ukrainian and she often added them to borsch)
Peel the beets and shred them, cut up stems in about 5mm pieces. Place them in the pot, add about a teaspoon of white vinegar, olive oil, a little bit of salt and black pepper (I do not add water, just cook them in their own juice); cook them covered on low heat until tender.
While beets are cooking:
Sauté carrots, onions, and peppers add tomatoes and tomato paste at the end, cook everything a little longer.
Add diced potatoes, cabbage and sauté vegetables to the pot ofboiled broth (If you would like to add any other optional vegetables (ie. beans, peas, beet greens, etc.) do so now.
Allow soup to simmer on medium until all vegetables are tender(test them with a fork or by biting into them!).
Add beets, pressed garlic, bay leafs and bring to a boil and then reduce to medium heat, boil for 2 minutes.
Stir in chopped fresh dill, salt and pepper, and meat if you boiled it at the beginning. Cover the pot and turn it off.
Serve hot with a scoop of sour cream and a slice of bread and butter (rye bread is best!)
