Herb & Garlic Cheese Ball

Posted on December 4, 2020 · 3 Comments

Cheese balls are great for entertaining any time of the year. They look great on a platter and can be easily adapted to suit your allergies or intolerances.

Use French Stick chips or straight pretzels to pop into them for guests to easily grab them. Sadly I couldn’t find straight pretzels in the shops when I wanted them for this recipe.

Domestic Diva: Bean Salad

Fresh green beans are in all the fruit and veg shops at the moment and look so good. I love beans, but getting the family to eat them is usually a struggle.
