Bacon Roll Ups | Bacon Pinwheels with Cream Cheese | Appetizer Recipe


Have you jumped on the bacon bandwagon yet?  This is an oldie but goody appetizer recipe for  Bacon Roll Ups for entertaining to serve on your Charcuterie Board or just watching Netflix at night!  



Bacon Cream Cheese Pinwheel Roll Ups

Brunch Bacon Appetizers


This family recipe was given to me and isn't too hard to make.  It's almost Keto - or Dirty Keto if you want to ignore the carbs in the bread.  OK, it has bacon and cream cheese, so it's good enough for me! Try making it with homemade Sourdough Bread 

Tip:

When my mother-in-law owned her cheese and gourmet shop, we would make asparagus roll ups.  A tip was to cut off the crusts of the bread, and in a single row, place between two pieces of very wet paper towel for awhile. This would moisten the bread, and make it easier to roll up, without it crumbling.

Beer Cheese Spread Recipe


This is a great cheese spread that's quick and easy to prepare. Wynkoop suggests using its Railyard Ale in the spread, but any full-bodied ale can be used. Its strong flavor can enough to stand up to the biggest, hoppiest beers, even a barley wine. Serve it with crackers, warm pretzels or beer bread.

Beer Cheese Spread

6 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
12 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup minced green onions
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup Beer or Ale

Combine all ingredients except beer in the bowl of a food processor or use an electric mixer
Mix or blend until everything is well incorporated.
Slowly add beer while processor or mixer is running. Place mixture into a crock or serving bowl, and chill for at least 2 hours.

Serve this festive Cherry Cheese Ball recipe with mini toast points or small crackers. Honey roasted sliced almonds are used more often in salads and can be found in packages in the produce or salad section of the grocery store.


Almond Cherry Cheese Ball Recipe



Cream Cheese Ball Appetizers 


My mother-in-law was the proprietor of a cheese and gourmet food store in Connecticut.  I used to work the store between Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years helping to make cheese balls.  We'd chop the walnuts using an old food grinder!

Try substituting dried cranberries in this cream cheese ball for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's parties. You can also use Neufchâtel cheese in place of cream cheese. Maybe even make it out of your favorite softened cheese spread.

Crumble both types of sausage into a large saute pan skillet.
Over medium heat cook the sausage 8 minutes or until completely browned.
Drain the fat from the sausage.
Return the drained sausage to the skillet.
Turn the heat to low and add the cheese cubes.
Stirring often allow the cheese to melt completely.
Stir in the garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.

Cheese Dip Spread Recipes | Appetizer Recipes for Parties

For your Charcuterie Board, here are several Cream Cheese dips, spread and appetizer recipes for a real New England Holiday. These dips and spreads can be served when entertaining for Christmas or New Years parties, football games, or any family event!

Beer Cheese Dip

Appetizer Recipes


Our family serves quite a bit of cheese, not only during the holidays, but throughout the whole year.  My mother-in-law owned a cheese and gourmet food store, long before grocery stores had entire sections devoted to domestic and imported cheeses. I worked the store as a manager on the days when my mother-in-law wasn't available, so I know quite a bit about cheese and appetizer recipes, and recognize the best cheddar cheese when I see and taste it!

On a beautiful fall day while in Vermont visiting my son-in-law's parents, we toured the Cabot Cheese Visitor's Center, and took the tour of the factory while in Cabot, Vermont. It was interesting to learn about co-ops and to see how cheese is made.

At our Visitors Center in Cabot, where we began in 1919, you can join a factory tour, watch talented cheese makers create our award-winning cheddars, and enjoy plenty of samples — all in one of the most scenic spots in America. Our visitors say the drive alone is worth it!




Cabot Creamery is a 1,200 farm family dairy cooperative with members in New England and upstate New York.

Enjoy these easy appetizer recipes for parties!

New England Crab Meat Lobster Appetizer 



Crab Meat Lobster Dip Appetizer

With the first signs of spring evident in the budding trees, longer days, and warmer air, many of us begin planning summer vacations, trips to the beach, and looking forward to spending time outdoors.  These signs call to mind the start of bathing suit season, which can be daunting after a long, cold winter indoors, indulging in heavy foods and drink.



Old London, the makers of delicious melba toast products, would like to help us fit in those summer clothes by encouraging us to include healthy, simple foods in our everyday menus.  Their famous snacks, made with all-natural ingredients and whole grains, prove a great way to satisfy mid-day hunger when paired with light treats like salsa or cheese.


Crab Meat Lobster Dip Appetizer



Whether served on the terrace, Great Gatsby style, or poolside on your deck or patio, it’s magnificent in the summer, but can be served all year long too! Perfect for holiday parties, Christmas, New Years or family celebrations.
