Cheese & Wine

Sadly summer is coming to an end, but there is still time to enjoy a few more warm evenings!

A few of my friends visited over the weekend for some cheese and wine (we are so classy) I made a cheeseball and sangria both recipes I found on pintrest and thought I would share them because they turned out really good!

The sangria I made was with white wine, strawberries, apples and basil, there were a lot more at this website http://www.inspiredbycharm.com/2012/04/very-pinteresting-sangria.html, the one I used is at the bottom.

mmmm summer

Strawberry and basil sangria

1 bottle of white wine (I used chardonnay)
1 cup club soda
1 cup white grape juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint strawberries
1 apple
handful of fresh basil

Put fruit basil and sugar in large pitcher and let sit for 10 minutes.  Pour all liquids in, stir and enjoy!




Pineapple cheesball

There are more appetizer recipes at this website as well! http://www.chef-in-training.com/2011/12/mouth-watering-monday-20-holiday-appetizer-ideas/

cheeseballs are by far the best party idea!
12 oz of cream cheese
1/2 small can of crushed pineapple
about 2 slices of deli ham, cut up into pieces
2 Tbsp. of green onion
1/2 cup of crushed pecans

Drain pineapple then mix cream cheese, pineapple, ham and green onion together and roll into a ball in sarane wrap.  Let sit in fridge for a least an hour.  Roll in pecans and serve with crackers!
