Christmas Cheese Log

[@cathybrown8334]

My mom would make a cheese log with shredded dried beef as a coating. I miss mom every day even at 70 years old.

Bless your heart. We love our sweet memories of these precious people in our lives.

I’m in love with this channel! Thank you Tom and Melissa for making cooking easier and less intimidating!

[@pysankar]

Me too! So clear and concise but not dry and boring either. Not only are the recipes easy to understand for a novice cook like me, but also very entertaining to watch.

[@ratherbejunkin]

I agree!! 🎉

[@teensymom1420]

I have just started watching your videos and I don't know how you don't have a million subscribers. I will be sharing with people I know.

[@dianalester1351]

Love your logic in thinking about doing a log instead of a ball. Also, I am impressed with how you present in the kitchen, you clean as you go! I too was taught to clean as I cook.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It's so nice not to have a mess in the kitchen when you're finished. Especially if you've had a chance to enjoy a nice meal. Who wants to finish the meal and then have a mess to clean up? Thank you very much for watching our video. We really do appreciate it.

My Mom always added a good shake of Worcestershire sauce in all her cheese mixtures....no matter how she would shape them....that added just that certain something in my opinion. This is a beautiful log though !

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thank you, Linda. We appreciate that you watched our video.

[@janicenichols7271]

Great job with the cheese ball...i make my own version every Christmas...i use cream cheese, cheddar, miracle whip, worchestershire sauce, green onion, gerkin pickle, seasoned salt and pepper and cover with chopped walnuts...Ive been making for 35 years and they are a family favourite...I will give yours a try.😊 I just came across your videos and I love them...good old fashioned recipes and food everyone loves😊

[@aliceb8950]

I was so happy to see I’m not the only person who has that nut chopper except mine is brown and white. A true treasure. I love your recipes. And your videos. You explain everything not leaving out any step. You and Melissa make a great team.

[@RataPerry]

I wish I knew what happened to my grandma's and mom's nut chopper like that. I liked using it better than the electric one I have; I always end up with the nuts too fine.

[@bjohnson1149]

Would be pretty in the fall with the orange and yellow bell peppers. Saving to try later.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Absolutely! This is a pretty versatile recipe.

[@MargeBeck-y7b]

Thank you Tom and Melissa for this channel and all your hard work

Hi 👋 Tom and Melissa! That is a beautiful cheese log!❤Thank you sharing all your wonderful recipes! You two are so sweet to watch! 39 years being married! Congratulations 🎈🎊 that’s so rare anymore! God bless you both! I so enjoy your video’s! Thank you 😊

[@shannanw]

This recipe is going in my Christmas party list. I cannot wait to make it. My hubby and I loved the addition of the craisins. YUM!! ☺️

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We sure hope you all love it. We are big Craisin fans , too!

[@deannaberman908]

I am new to your channel and I absolutely LOVE your recipes and the presentation!!! My husband and I have been married for 53 years and I have gotten into such a rut....I seem to make the same things time and again. Some are fabulous and some are my own recipes but after I retired I now spend all my time cleaning, yard work, and cardmaking so haven't much cared about cooking. Thank you so much for all the inspiration....I am having a blast making your recipes! My husband thanks you too!

[@DebadooCreates]

Y'all are so cute together! This looks very tasty. I also prefer logs for the same reason. I'll bet that would be good with pimento in it too. It definitely looked like Christmas. When you took the bowl of the mixer & tilted it to the camera, the pattern the cream cheese made in the bowl reminded me of snow covered evergreens 🌲. Of course, in my part of Texas, we don't have snow very often.

[@Conwaylady]

Love all your cooking shows! Tom and Melissa, have you ever disagreed on anything??? Never saw a couple agree on everything and never disagree on anything. You have a special marriage!! Love your show and you explaining everything slowly, making it easy to follow along.

[@JanJohnson-y4h]

Back down memory lane. I love the chatter between you two.❤

[@conishka3749]

I love Texas Pete on just about everything I actually carry a bottle in my purse LOL😃 They make a small bottle that's perfect for puttin in your pocket🥰

[@gloriasams4687]

I love making a cheese ball for Christmas, but now I will be making cheese LOG now! I will make your recipe, but there is one that I have been making for about 20 years that I really like!!❤😊

[@sherrywilliams409]

I love a good cheese log or cheese ball! Have you ever had the one that has the beef from a jar? I have a great recipe that has that beef and chopped black olives. I’mp going to make your recipe bc I’m curious about the taste that craisins gives it. I bet I will like it. My favorite part of the holidays is tasting all of the party foods that everyone makes. I like the traditional recipes but I especially like to taste the new recipes. Thanks for sharing your recipe✝️🎄🎁

[@comesitatmytable9044]

You are so welcome. We hope you enjoy this!

[@lindawood6404]

I will be making this for our family get together this Christmas1 It looks so good! Love your videos!

[@kathybennett7560]

We love to add those little jars of the red pimentos to our Christmas cheese balls it’s a little softer than so many bell peppers and makes it spread easier. Aren’t the red and green such festive colors for the holidays and Fourth of July! ❤

[@livrhondiesteinar7799]

Looks good. My remedy for sticky rolling is I use pladtic disposable gloves. I rub a little vegetable shortening on the bottoms of my gloved hands. I also use parchment paper to roll it up.

[@davemeiser2999]

Pretty as a picture, christmas cheese log!!! Thank you sooooo very much. I will be making it this Christmas, for sure., ohio.

[@jineykim1416]

Just love your calm and warm attitude. Can understand your direction so clearly. Became my new favourite! Thank you! 😊

[@janemartin229]

This is a great idea for a Christmas party! Just about every mayo except Dukes has sugar in it (unless it is labeled Sugar-Free and then you have to make sure they didn't add artificial sweeteners). I love that twang--I could eat Duke's with a spoon! My husband thinks I'm nuts.

[@elizabethdavenport9649]

Hello! This recipe looks like a great addition to the Christmas dinner menu, I’ll have to try it this year. Love the story about the nut grinder, that made me smile. I viewed your video library and you have some really great content. Thank you for sharing your recipes, talent and knowledge. It’s August now, and coming up on quick breads season. I’d be interested to see how you make zucchini nut, banana nut, cranberry nut, etc. quick breads. Would that be something on you to do list?

[@macycharmin]

The nut grinder story made me smile too!

[@NJacks-s8m]

Melissa, you crack me up with some of the things you say you told on yourselves lol that’s something I would say 😂😂

[@garfieldrupe630]

In my home only I like spicy food. My sister nor our Niece like spicy anything. This looks delicious though. I won't deny that. Thank you for posting this.

[@auntdona01]

This is a beautiful and savory cheese log! And the lig is MUCH easier for guests than a ball. One thing - at the beginning your mixer is across the room from your prep area. Move the mixing bowl over to the ingredients instead of taking ingredients across the kitchen. LOVE YA

[@cutiekay5878]

I loved how you let your wife had the first bite and last bite. That was so nice! I enjoy watching you and hearing your wife speak. That looks like a delicious cheese ball. Again thank you for sharing.

This is a wonderful holiday cheese log. Thanks.

[@sandyalley1493]

Great recipe! It’s 107 degrees in N. Louisiana but looking forward to colder days coming up in a few months. Even in this hot weather, the cheese log looks delicious! I may make it for Labor Day get togethers !! Loving your recipes from a new subscriber!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We are thrilled to have you joining us. It's been a really hot few weeks here in Kentucky as well (but not as hot as you!). Try to stay cool and we look forward to seeing you back at the table.

[@salliemorrill2671]

What a great appetizer! Gives you options. Makes sense to make the log. I see that I'm in good company for hot sauce lovers. Every month I buy one I haven't had before. This year, my roommate bought my a bunch of little bottles for Christmas. Thank you & God bless.

This is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! Cheese ball/log, is one of my fav's! I'll add jalapeños to mine as my hubby is Mexican!!😋😋😋 ♥️🎄🎁🎅🙏🏻

[@thatgirl626]

Times have changed nothing is the same but ore shredded cheese used to have potato Starch coating, Dukes is my fav. I personally like nuts in any recipe, toasted, I do them in a skillet, I think it brings out the flavor and they stay crunchy. Like you say Tom, do it your way. :)

[@sharonsnyder8439]

Looks fantastic!

[@RM-of3bo]

Do the bell peppers start to release their juices too much if the log is in the fridge for a few days? I truly do believe you when you say to come sit at your table. I think you would welcome a total stranger at your door…angels unaware thing, ya know. You two rock!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We don't think the peppers get watery once it's in the refrigerator, but it doesn't last too long once we make it! Thank you so much for your kind comments. We really appreciate them and that you're watching.

[@dwayneoliver1659]

Looks great! I must make one. Hey,to make it more colorful for Christmas you can garnish the top with a few twigs of mint leaves and garnish the bottom corners of the plate with the green cherries and red cherries that would look great and the sweet taste of the cherries with a bit of the cheese log would taste good. I think you are from Kentucky? Maybe lol that’s where I’m from. You could add a little U.K. Blue to it! Lol. Thank you!.

[@comesitatmytable9044]
