Pineapple Cheese Ball | Cheese Ball Recipe | Entertaining

The meld of flavors in this citrus Pineapple Cream Cheese Ball is perfect for summer dining on the deck or poolside. 

You'll be surprised, and wouldn't think that these two flavors, pineapple and onion, go together, but the taste is amazing!  It's the perfect addition to your Charcuterie Board.

I first had this Pineapple Cream Cheese Ball at a graduation party at my sister-in-laws many years ago.  I tucked the recipe away and am giving it ago this season!

Red Devil Cheese Ball | Snack Ideas | Recipe

What to make for your next Holiday, party or tailgate event?  Our family has always enjoyed cheese balls, both for snacking and as a base for some of our favorite brunch appetizers or your Charcuterie Board. Here’s one of my favorite family recipes for Red Devil Cheese Ball which you can use as an appetizer spread on crackers.

Holiday Season is upon us, although with today’s weather in New England you’d think you were back in February when all we've had are Nor'Easters especially along Cape Cod and the Boston Area!   Vermont and New Hampshire have already had snow on some mountains.

Soon enough though all the cold weather will be behind us and we’ll back camping at the beach and lakes before we know it.  One of the items I’ll definitely be packing when we go camping is low-calorie, low-fat snacks like melba toast, Mary's Gone Crackers or Wasa Crackers.

So here's an idea for your Charcuterie Board for Holiday Parties - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas will keep us busy.

On my blog I’ve written how I’ve embarked on a new Mediterranean way of eating diet plan.  melba toast and wasa crackers can help put you on the right track towards a healthier lifestyle.

The melba toast I use has provided a great alternative to heavy breads or crackers, for healthier snacking. Most of the products are made with all-natural whole grains, which helps a simple snack like melba toast and hummus make you stay fuller longer, and less likely reach for junk food.

These are great for entertaining on the deck or patio!
