Christmas Cheese Ball

Someone was asking me at aerobics about cheeseballs...I think it was Kirsten. Anyway, I have this fabulous recipe that I got from one of my mother in laws'. It's super easy and yummy!

2-8oz packages of cream cheese
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
1-8oz can crushed pineapple (drained)
1/4 Cup green and red bell peppers
2 tsp instant onion (moisten with pineapple juice)
1/2 tsp salt
dash of garlic powder
Optional - 1/4 tsp dried red peppers (to add a little "kick")
Chopped nuts for topping

Soften and beat cream cheese. Stir in remaining ingredients. Shape into balls (makes about 3) and roll in nuts. Enjoy!

Okay, I'm curious, how is it possible for you to have 3 mother in laws with only one husband?? I like Annette am confused, okay, maybe Annette isn't confused! Are you meaning step-moms?

Are you hiding two more hubby's in the basement? If so, very interesting!! LOL!!

Ok...I guess I'd better clear this up! I have 2 "dads". Both of which are no longer married to my mom...but married to someone else. I really don't like the term "step mom"...plus I'm older...so they are my mother in laws! Along with my husbands mother.

Although, I like the idea of having some more hubby's hidden in the basement...enslaved to me. Man, I wouldn't have a honey do list...because it would all be done! :)
