White Cheddar Cheese Ball


We had a Leftover Buffet tonight! I don't usually do this on Tuesday, because the kids are always ready for their pizza. We just had too much food that needed eating before Thursday. Since we'll eat at church tomorrow night, tonight was the night to eat it!
We were looking forward to the Shrimp Scampi Pizza. I'll either make it later in the week, or carry it over to next week. We'll see...

I do have a recipe to share with you though, since some of you may be getting ready to do some "tailgatin'."

I made this cheese ball a few weeks back to share with sweet Donna S. She later e-mailed me saying Don would like the recipe. If I understood correctly, he was thinking of making one of these cheese balls to take to an upcoming Mississippi State football game! I have no doubt that he will make his with some good ole Mississippi State cheese, and that because their cheese is so good, his will be twice as delicious as mine! But, y'all don't tell Don I said that, okay?! ;)

I forgot to snap a photo of this before taking it to Donna's. It looked just like any other cheese ball that's rolled in chopped nuts, so it won't strain your brains to imagine what it looked like! ;)


White Cheddar Cheese Ball


2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
3 green onions, finely chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 - 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T. Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9. This recipe has been in my family for many years.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s
