I really didn't feel like making dinner tonight so, I made a snack for dinner. Pete was excited when I told him that we were going to have Miso soup (from a package) and my "famous" cream cheese ball for dinner. (I figure it was healthy enough. It was certainly filling as we polished off the entire box of Triscuits!) I had been planning on making the ball sometime this week after purchasing the needed ingredients yesterday. I should have looked at the recipe before shopping as I thought it called for only one block of cream cheese, not two. Good thing I had an 8 oz. container of cream cheese in the fridge! Too bad for my bagels later this week though.
Cream Cheese Ball- 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese
- 1 small can crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped red or yellow onion
Blend all ingredients and form into a ball. Serve with crackers of your choice.
I added a little bit of garnish to my ball and served it on a bamboo cheese board.
Pete enjoying his dinner.

Yummy!! I may need to make one this week!!
It's really good but, boy oh boy, did I wake up with really bad breath this morning!! :)
That looks scrumptious. You are so creative with these recipes. I assume this is your own. I had never heard of it before.
I have those days where I don't feel like cooking dinner either. This sounds like a great substitute.
Does Pete cook?
You had me at cream cheese...I could eat that stuff right out of the container. Yum!
Thanks guys! It is an absolutely delicious recipe. Serena~ I wish I could say it was my own.... my principal gave each of us the recipe and a bamboo cheese board for Christmas. I've made it several times and it's always a hit! :)
No, Pete doesn't cook..... He can make mac & cheese and can pour the perfect pancake onto the frying pan (after I make the batter). He heats up frozen meals like a champ! :) (Pete, if you're reading this, you know I love you! There are many things I can't do like, for instance, change out brake pads and rotors in the garage!)
