Are you ready for some football?
To be perfectly honest, I’m not. I despise the Ravens and don’t follow the 49ers close enough to care. However, I am ready for the pageantry, commercials, and Americana that is Super Bowl XLVII! Of course, the Americana side of this includes great snacks, appetizers, and game day food.
One of my family’s long withstanding traditions is this Cheddar Cheese Ball. Someone makes it for just about every event and it’s beloved by all. What’s great is it’s simplicity too, only 4 ingredients! Pair with your favorite type of crackers for a money-saving shareable spread.
