Cheese Buttons

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

These were yummy! I made a double batch as we had company over. By the end of forming them, I got lazy and they ended up making them bigger, which I think was a bad idea. I also used the tub margarine because we only had butter. They were still really really good!

These are good, but I was hoping for a crisper button (sorta cheese-strawish). I tried adding a few minutes to the second batch, to no avail. I used a spread, as I didn’t have any stick margarine (I heart butter). That could be where I went wrong. Next time, I’ll see if a smaller ball and smooshing it down slightly works. I’d love to see a picture of your version to see if I’m on track.

My mom had a recipe book called “Foods Men Love”. It contained recipes for oven baked chicken and stuffed peppers, etc. The pictures were cartoony and oh so seventies. I do believe the cheese balls would fit nicely into that book. I have four men that will be devouring these tomorrow. Will report back.
