Cheddar Cheese Ball

Here is another classic recipe of my mom's. I'm not quite sure where she got it, or when she started making it. I do know that it was at every holiday that we had. When it comes to Christmas, our meals were big, but the appetizers were huge! We always started with loads and loads of appetizers. So much so, that in recent years, the meal has kind of gone to the wayside. Sure there's still a ham, and usually some potatoes, but there's no more sit down dinner. We eat our way through the day, and top it all off with lots and lots of Christmas cookies. There's nothing better! I make this Cheese Ball a lot. Not just for holidays. It's become our "date-night-in" staple. Pop in a movie, throw together a cheese and cracker platter, grab a bottle of wine, and there's our date night.
