Every Christmas, I make these cheese balls for an annual get-together. They aren't only for the holidays, however. You'll find they freeze well and last for a week in the refrigerator. I have even re-formed leftovers into smaller balls. I do my cooking in an 1892 home we're fixing up (my husband's a renovations contractor). We have a son, 3, and a baby daughter born last spring.

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, room temperature

1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
Minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Finely chopped pecans

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, milk, onion and Worcestershire sauce until fluffy. If a smoother spread is desired, process in a food processor until creamy.
