Variation: Onion-Garlic Cheese Ball
My darling sister (PT Screen Name: TigerBlossom) made a second Cheese Ball that was as fabulous as the first. I'm posting it here, because I've been misplacing recipes lately, and want to keep this one for reference later.
Onion-Garlic Cheese Ball
1/2 small white onion, minced
1 clove garlic (I think I'd bake the garlic clove to 'gentle' the flavor)
Dash of Worchestershire Sauce
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Brick of Cream Cheese (softened)
Minced pecans
Mix the first 5 ingredients with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pecans. Shape into a ball (or log), roll in remaining pecans. Sprinkle with paprika and chill before serving.
Serve with chips or crackers, as prefered.
I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds
yummy.
Peanut Butter Dip
Serves 12 (2 points for 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon = 1 point
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 container fat free vanilla yogurt
1/8 t. cinnamon (opt.)
1/2 cup Light Cool Whip
Mix all ingredients except Cool Whip together with a whisk until thoroughly blended. Gently stir in Cool Whip. Chill.
Serve with apples or pears that have been cut into slices.
