Good Morning, Dear Readers.  I am writing this post as I fly home from an amazing Dive Trip to Roatan.  I will be sharing some photos of our trip with you and the weekly menu that I am planning for this coming week, but first I want to share the Cheeseball recipes that our Sunday Funday Bloggers are posting today.

Amy of Amy's Cooking Adventures invited us to join her in sharing Cheese Balls.  I wasn't going to participate but then I was looking for another recipe that I had archived and came across this delicious dish that I had never shared.  I hope you enjoy it.  

Let's take a look at the other Cheese Ball Recipes.......


Couple on vacation

We returned from our vacation in Roatan early this morning.  Our flight landed at Midnight and we got home around 2 AM.  It was a great trip with great folks.  We had so much fun both under the sea and on land.  Check out my Facebook page to see some highlights of the trip.

I slept in this morning.  Some of the family is going to Amy and Doug's to celebrate Mother's Day.  I am anxious to see them and tell them all about our trip.  This simple and easy appetizer made me miss my Mom who loved nuts, especially pecans.  She would have loved some of this with her glass of White Zin.

Tuesday evening, a group of us are going out to dinner and then over to the winery to make a summertime leaner board.  On Thursday the Bonacorsi's are having us over for dinner to celebrate Jim's birthday.   

We are celebrating BBQ Week on the blog on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so stay tuned for those posts.  

I am sharing our Weekly Menu.  You will find the simple cheeseball recipe beneath it.
