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.
