Cheese Ball
The Cheese Ball is the centerpiece of any Midwest cocktail party. There are many variations of this recipe. Last year I made this Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Cheese Ball. I am not a big fan of serving a boring cheese platter at a party. It usually doesn't get eaten. I guarantee this cheese ball will be the hit of your next party. Cheese balls were all the rage in the 1970s. So easy to make and the best part is that it has to be made ahead, so you can enjoy your party.

Spinach Salad from The Plantation Cookbook
I recently made this Spinach Salad from The Plantation Cookbook. The salad dressing is absolutely spectacular. The key is to make the dressing at least 6 hours ahead or the day before.

Creamy Pumpkin Alfredo Pasta with Bacon and Crispy Sage
I was rummaging through the fridge and came up with this Creamy Pumpkin Alfredo Pasta with Bacon and Crispy Sage. I was inspired by Trader Joe's Autumnal Harvest Alfredo Sauce which is made with pumpkin and butternut squash purées. All I can say is that it's a great idea. You can cheat and just buy their sauce or make it yourself with canned pumpkin.

Costco Chicken Bakes
One of Costco's most famous menu items is the Costco Chicken Bake, the object of a cult following. It's cheesy bread roll encasing a gooey mix of chicken, bacon and Caesar dressing. Somehow, it just works.

Tomato, Bacon Tart with Blue Cheese & Gruyère
While rummaging through my kitchen to make something for dinner, I came up with this Tomato, Bacon Tart with Blue Cheese & Gruyère. It is kind of like a pizza, except the crust is flaky, buttery, crumbly puff pastry that you can serve as a meal with a green salad or as an appetizer cut into smaller pieces. Also, you can substitute any kind of cheeses and fresh herbs you like.
