In true fashion, I’m keeping it *cheesy* here today. There’s a few things I make every Christmas because my mom made them every Christmas. One is peanut butter balls and the other is this pineapple cheese ball. (All the balls y’all.) And before you say “eww gross” (if you did), you need to try it. Because I promise you it’s amazing and I’m not here to steer you wrong (which makes me think I was going to share a beef recipe, but my dairy farming friends deserve love, too.) And you need this in your life, so you’re welcome.   See video below for how I make it (skip to 10 min. mark (or watch the whole thing )).
