EASY Pineapple Cheese Ball for your SUPER BOWL Party!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm running so LATE with everything today - been busy running all over town, getting ready for the weekend and the Super Bowl! :-)

For my Friday post, I thought I'd share another EASY and great recipe for you to try! This one will probably fit right into your Super Bowl Sunday menu, and chances are, you have all the ingredients on hand already!

PINEAPPLE CHEESE BALL

Ingredients:

(2) 8 oz. Cream cheese, softened
(1) 8 oz. Can Crushed Pineapple, well drained
1.5  Cup Chopped Pecans
(2) Tbsp. chopped green Bell Pepper
(2) Tbsp. chopped Onion
(1) Tsp. seasoned salt

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients, reserving about 1 Cup of the pecans. Chill well. Form into a ball. Roll the ball in remaining pecans.
Serve with crackers.  (FYI - I serve with RITZ or WHEAT THINS - but any crackers will work)

My mother has been making this cheeseball for years and serving at many of our family gatherings. It is always a hit - and so easy!

Speaking of Super Bowl, are you planning to watch the game? If so, who are you pulling for? My "home away from home" city is New Orleans....I spent 2-3 nights a week over there for several years (work). The town holds a very special place in my heart, so this Cowboys fan is going to be a Saints fan on Sunday! :-)

Enjoy your weekend! I hope those of you in the Mid-Atlantic are able to enjoy the snow - stay safe and warm! XOXO

    From a Saints fan(atic) I can tell you there's no doubt where my heart is this weekend - in NOLA. We debated going to Miami (I bought flights there in October after we beat the Giants), and then we really debated going to NOLA for this weekend. However, since we leave for Mardi Gras this Wednesday we decided it was too much. We'll be hosting a big Saints Superbowl Party and cannot wait! You dip sounds amazing!!!!

    That sounds divine... I have a recipe that uses cheddar cheese, mayo, pecans, and onions. You put it in a ring and add strawberry preserves in the middle. YUM!

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line...
