Super easy. And fun to share. Halloween or Thanksgiving.
This pumpkin cheeseball is a great addition on the table for a harvest feast. Tasted bland after mixing the ingredients but like magic the flavors come together after hours in the refrigerator. This cheeseball is a party hit.
Yummy and super easy. I couldn’t stomach the idea of the Mac and cheese powder so I substituted paprika, garlic powder, turmeric and salt.
Everyone loved it and thought it took me hours to make. Literally takes five minutes!
So easy and so yummy! My guests were impressed!
The butternut squash soup was fabulous! I’ve made it multiple times and have even added 1/2 cup of half-n-half to change it up. I’ve passed the recipe on to family and friends. This earned a spot in the family cookbook.
I would have liked to know when and how long to refrigerate, but otherwise it turned out great!
