Happy New Year!


New Years Eve was time for friends and football, and of course fun food. We got a VT silicone pan for Christmas so we had to make a cake for the game, and it was only appropriate for it to be maroon and orange. We made a gluten free red velvet cake and made the cream cheese icing orange so the slices were very Hokie appropriate.


And then, we had to have my very favorite holiday food, my Mom's cheese ball. And since it was for the game, we shaped it into a football.

Cheese ball Recipe
1/2 lb mild cheddar cheese
1 package cream cheese(softened)
1 medium onion
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup chopped pecans
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce


Grate cheese. Grate Onion. Add cream cheese, half of the parsley, half of the pecans and the Worcestershire sauce. Mix together well with wooden spoon or hands. Roll to form ball (or football).

Mix remaining pecans and parsley together in wide bowl or on a plate and roll formed ball in mixture. Refrigerate before serving.
