  1. Cheese Ball

    June 17, 2009 by Tarrant Figlio

    We are having an entirely entertaining week here. Ok, not entirely…the house is a mess, work is crazy, technology is failing. Other than that though, the entertainment factor of this week is high!

    So what better to serve on the blog than a Cheese Ball recipe from a Junior League of Montclair cookbook titled “Entirely Entertaining” from 1968? We are nutty enough in this family without the pecans, so generally skip them. I am all about simplicity and go with the crock packing method as well. Ok, and my cheese balls/cheese logs always end up looking distorted/defective-anyone have any tips there?

    Nice served with some good crackers. Our current favorite: Wheat Thins Fiber Selects 5 grain or 7 grain-whatever they are–not the veggie ones, though I hear the veggie ones are tasty too.

    Cheese Ball

    8 oz package cream cheese
    1/4 lb Bleu cheese
    1/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated
    1 small onion, minced
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 cup pecans, chopped
    1/2 cup chopped parsley

    Mix all ingredients except the parsley. Roll into a ball and roll ball in parsley. Chill. (Note: This may also be packed in a crock without the parsley.)

  2. Cheese Roll

    May 16, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    As you can see by the quantities, this makes quite the cheese roll. However, it is easy to halve and such a yummy retro appetizer. Nini made this often as did my mother for all nature of parties. Serve with crackers, bread, spoon (ok, just kidding about the spoon, but I do like it a lot)

    Cheese Roll

    1 lb blue cheese
    1 lb Roquefort
    1/2 lb Philadelphia Cream Cheese
    Tabasco
    Worcestershire
    Horseradish (lots)
    Garlic
    Onion juice
    Mustard

    Heat in double boiler over medium heat until cheese is melted and ingredients are blended. Let harden in ice box. Roll in paprika on waxed paper.

  3. Cheesy Meatloaf

    April 28, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    Nothing complicated or mysterious about this meat loaf-yes, use cheddar instead of processed cheese. Ok wait the “Slim Gourmet” part is interesting. Maybe not so very interesting considering the skim milk and trimmed beef…but the processed cheese might make up for that part. Only 198 calories per serving though…so definitely can fit into today’s diet.

  4. Chutney Cheese Spread

    April 4, 2008 by Tarrant Figlio

    Today’s retro appetizer courtesy of the jar of chutney minus a tablespoon in my fridge. You see, the recipe I used it for didn’t knock anyone’s socks off and it has languished there for some time. This recipe will work for using it up and pleasing the family. Since it is from the Spin Cookery Blender Cookbook from Oster(1967) the grind is all about using your blender. However, it may be easier for you to use a food processor if you have one. This works well on crackers, apples, or sweet breads.

    Chutney Cheese Spread

    1 8 oz package cream cheese, cubed
    3/4 cup chutney
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon curry powder
    1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Flaked coconut

    Grind first 6 ingredients 45 seconds, stopping motor to push ingredients to blades, if necessary. Chill. Garnish with flaked coconut. Makes 2 cups
