I love cheese. There have been a couple of times in my life I have given up dairy for a brief period of time. It is so difficult to not eat cheese. I really do miss it and I’m glad those periods of time were short. My whole family likes to snack on block cheese. It’s easy to slice it up and serve with salami, pepperoni, and crackers.

With holiday parties in full swing, I’ve been working to bring you some options for party food. Cheeseballs make great party food.

• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
