Beer and Pretzel Cheese Ball

February 2, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Not too long ago, I saw a headline on the website of a high-end food magazine about cheese balls making a comeback. A comeback? Where did cheese balls ever go? I mean, you can’t get much better in the snack department than a good old fashioned cheese ball. Creamy cheese with a crunchy coating that you can spread on crackers? Yes please.

Herby Brown Butter Snack Mix

My family has a thing about “nuts and bolts.” I wrote about it in my cookbook Southern Snacks. We have our way of doing it.

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
