Our favorite appetizer is the (old) faithful cheese ball and it is so easy!
Cheese Ball
1 large pkg. cream cheese (warm to room temp.)
8 oz of mild cheddar, grated
Garlic powder to taste
Dash of seasoned salt
1 tsp. of your favorite steak sauce
Chili powder
Thoroughly blend the first five ingredients; shape into either logs (2) or a ball. Roll in chili powder. Place in refrigerator. The flavor will blend nicely in about 2 hours.
You can also add ½ cup finely chopped nuts (unless you have picky kids like mine)
Serve with crackers.
We love this spiced tea ~
Spiced Tea
3 large tea bags
2 cups sugar
1 gallon water
3 cinnamon sticks
1 sm. Can frozen orange juice
1 pkg. lemonade mix (Kool-aid)
In a large pan combine water, tea, sugar, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, remove cinnamon sticks and stir in orange juice and lemonade mix.
This is wonderful on cold winter evenings!
Blessings,
Cheryl
