[@lylytorrence4890]

Definitely going to make these for the holiday season. Looks awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@Roenjr247]

Thanks for the recipe. I am making it right now for Christmas. It is so simple and easy to follow and very delicious 😋

[@Southernfarmandkitchen]

Looks amazing... I am a sucker for Bacon.. thanks for joining us .. it was a blast !

[@ginac7839]

Cheese balls! I used to love cheese balls. They are not served out west like they were in the Midwest I’ll have to try these. My favorite is still the old dried beef one, my Mom made every Christmas. 💕

[@Jen-Chapin]

Oh yes I love that one too!!!

[@SuperOhsarah]

I have had those my whole life. dried beef, green onions, cream cheese. I LOVE IT!

[@ginac7839]

Sarah Robertson Yelp! That’s the one! 😂

[@mintbutterfly10]

We love these with crinkle-cut carrots and snap peas!

[@kaybanks8781]

These look delicious. I'm going to try them for New Year. Love cheese balls. We always make a cheese ball of cream cheese, chopped black olives, green onions and diced green chiles. Then we roll it in finely chopped parsley and cilantro. The longer the cream cheese mixture sits the better. We have also made one with a mixture of cream cheese, goat cheese with a bit of cream, black pepper, dried cranberries and dill then roll it in very finely chopped almonds. Cheese balls are one of those recipes that can be adapted to any flavor. Mix the cream cheese with ricotta, mozzarella and chopped sundried tomatoes. Roll it in chopped nuts mixed with a bit of parmesan. These make great gifts. Make three flavors and roll into 3" balls or disks, package them with crackers and some olives for a great hostess gift. Oh man, now I have to make one of these balls. Can't wait until New Year!

[@nataliesmith2458]

What a great idea !! And super simple, tfs 🥓🧀🍷

[@charlenejutras1595]

Awesome video! I haven't made cheese balls in a long time- I will definitely make them this year-thank you for sharing the recipes!

[@roses609]

They look delicious I love cheese balls great Vlogmas

[@debracoulter1250]

Cheese balls are my go to for holiday parties. I will definitely try these two. Murphy was really hoping you were going to drop a chunk of cheese! Lol

[@triciastorie8997]

I have never made a cheese ball but that is about to change! Will be making this real soon! Thanks for sharing!

[@MrsRedAng]

That plate is adorable! My favorite food group! I always forget about using my food processor. I will forsure be making these!

[@lindathorpe4387]

I just purchased a food processor and the bacon ranch cheese ball is my first recipe. It’s delicious!

[@susanbohan25]

Did you know Worcestershire sauce is made from anchovies!! Lol Great Christmas vlogs Thank you 🎄

[@katfaile9579]

Thanks Jen for another great receipe and gift idea. I'm excited to try this!!!!!!!

[@wendyomalley7673]

A life changing kitchen gadget I just got, and love is the Prep Solutions microwaveable grill from Amazon. It turns out perfect, crispy bacon and there is no mess on my stove top to clean! My husband is a bacon snob and it has to be crunchy, not greasy and done fast. When you are done, you just rinse off and put in the microwave. I also work for a hospital system and am up at 4:30am four days a week. I can pop in 3 slices of bacon and it’s done perfectly in 2 3/4 minutes so I start out my day with a hot breakfast. Merry Christmas!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

So delicious. I'm definitely going to try and make a few of these in the next week's for Christmas gifts for friends and family.

[@kristamatheson4013]

Thank you so much for the inspiration! I am having family over on Christmas Eve for potluck finger food and these will be great!! And the snowman dish is super cute! I love snowmen and have a collection :)

[@evem4876]

Hen ty for sharing this recipe , I make.two chz balls for Parties n I really needed a new one . ... Family us going to enjoy this for Christmas ty ❤️

[@tamerawencl5675]

Oh my gosh, YUM! That snowman platter is awesome and yes, I'd love to receive a cheese ball as a gift, homemade gifts are the best!

[@doriannegreene4936]

Thanks Jen for posting this awesome vlog!! Im going to make both for my Christmas party Im so excited! I thought they were too hard to make ! ❤ oh, what wine would you recommend having? Jw would you consider doing a vlogmas with a wine and cheese board? Share what wines go good with certain cheeses? I want to have a platter for the party but have zero clue what wines/cheeses would pair! Thanks!

[@beckypinkerton9988]

We made individual cheese balls on a pretzel sticks and they were delicious. Everyone likes cheese ball. Makes a great gift. Those turned out really good Jen. You could add a small cutting board and a spreader with it. I love it. That looks so pretty. Thank you Jen.

[@nancyosgood777]

Yum! I'm gonna make that bacon ranch one for Christmas, my oldest loves cheese balls!!

[@tayelmore]

Both of these sound so good! Love that you did everything with the food processor including shredding the cheese. I got the grater attachment for my KitchenAid so I grate my cheese with that and mixed every thing in it.

[@bradybrowning8274]

Thanks for sharing this Jen! I love to cook but I think it’s so easy to get in a rut and forget my love of cooking with little kids running around and of course their sometimes picky appetites. I love your videos and you keep inspiring me to remember my love for cooking. I would have never thought to make my own cheese ball but now I can’t wait to try it!

[@patriciakoester1580]

Jen, I’m going to make both of these for the Holiday!! ♥️ Thanks !!

[@barbarajohnson7782]

I love shredding my own cheese in my KitchenAid Food Processor. I have to admit Jen most times I am lazy and buy pre shredded, no excesses I know. That is one of my New Years resolutions for 2020! Thanks for the great recipes!

[@singsongvideolover]

A cheeseball playlist?! Yes, please and thank you 🤓Cheeseballs are my hands down favorite!🙆

[@brendatate8986]

😋 Yum! My family loves cheese balls! Thanks Jen!

[@margaritaperez7880]

I love cheeseballs. So retro and goes great with a glass of wine. Lol

[@shartman2150]

Yummmmmm! My 80 year old neighbor made this for us once but from the Kraft recipe. She worked in the Kraft kitchens as a recipe tester before kids. I bet there’s a good version of a cheese ball or log in your Plaid cookbook. Cheese anything is the best!

[@crowdedisolation]

Yay for Murphy getting a treat! He loved it I'm sure. I love love love cheese balls. I love making them, eating them, sneaking bites of them. They're wonderful. I even love the platter you used to serve the cheese ball. Great video!

[@heatherholt4275]

I was just thinking to myself, “I should make these for little gifts!” and you suggested the same. I don’t know why I’ve never made a cheeseball, but that is about to change. Would love to hear if the bacon ranch was as good as it sounds!

[@cresenceboland2473]

Cheese ball!s! I haven’t thought about those in years and this will be perfect for the cookie exchange I’m attending next week. Thanks for giving me a new recipe to try!

[@sheripatterson647]

Fantastic! As you suggsted, I'm thinking a basket with cheeseball, bottle of wine, gourmet crackers, spreader, maybe even movie for a couple staying in...Oh yeah!

[@sallymetz8517]

This looks so good I want to swear. Lol I’m going to make an excuse to bring this to a party this month: )

[@denicekimberly3255]

i haven’t made a cheese balls in years. i’m definitely going to make one this holiday season 😊

[@amyjones8844]

You really inspire me to do better in the kitchen, love your videos. Can't wait to make these cheeseballs!!

[@FastingFoodie]

The bacon ranch looks amazing! I am loving your glasses too 🤓

[@rhondaking1998]

Cheese balls look delish! The snowman platter is awesome. Thanks for this.

[@denisem1632]

Hi Jen, thanks they look easy and delicious 😊😊

[@mamagoldielocks]

Such a cute serving snowman! ☃️

[@mintbutterfly10]

She totally missed an opportunity to give the snowman boobs. But yeah. It is adorable 😂😘

[@Jen-Chapin]

HAHAHAA 😂

[@mamawof3658]

Oh my gosh....I want a bite so badly...still on liquids till the 24th...but you better believe I will make one of these....I get to eat fish on Christmas Eve...Tuna Salad sounds so darn good!!!!!

[@KaitlinGeorge1]

These look so good! Bacon on the classic cheese ball would also be so good! Also, my daughter loves your intro music, she dances every time it come on, lol

[@charlottepoe4691]

Yum!! I am definitely adding this to my Christmas party menu! Thanks!!!

[@ShaunnaDickinson]

This puts my little crank cheese grater to shame lol 😂 love anything with spice girl this looks delicious!! I’m lucky no one in my family is allergic to nuts lol 😂 Bacon dreams 🙌🥓

[@anitatucker8812]

These look delicious. You mentioned it's great gifts, I make a cheese ball with Velvetta grated cheese, chopped bell pepper and green onion, drained crush pineapple, and pecans that's a hit with family and friends. I often make the cheese ball and give a bottle of sparkling cider with some type of speciality crackers. Love your vlogmas Jen.

[@heatherhayle]

Loving your vlogmas so much!!!!

[@ddoz11]

Loving your vlogmas videos 💖💯😄

[@MrsRedAng]

Made the 1st cheeseball, she's chillin' in the fridge, snuck a little. Super good!

[@boydshields4366]

Great recipes, That poor dog wanted a piece of cheese lol. Thanks for sharing!

[@takethatshushu]

I don’t know what a cheeseball is but I am EXCITED! 😂 Can’t believe it’s day 7 already 😱

[@carolinehasgoldens6824]

Jen this video is amazing: loved it and I saved her recipes! I will try this out and dust off my food processor! 🧀🥓

[@gloriousgemz2653]

Great option for the Holidays.. Thanks for sharing 😊😊

[@lindah5910]

I straight up giggle every time I thin slice ALL those potatoes for scalloped potatoes or ALL those onions for dehydrating or grate ALL that cheese for everything in seconds with my beloved Cuisinart food processor. My grown daughters think I am hilarious (but I well remember trying to slice and grate all that). Thanks for sharing these great cheese ball recipes.

[@LivingInTheMomLane]

I love cheese balls both sound delicious.

[@nonafuller4844]

Love Murphy's cameo appearances... cheeseballs look delicious!

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

This was really easy to make and such a great idea. And loved the snowman platter ❤️ today on pioneer woman show she also made cheese ball!

[@DomesticDivaDIY]

I shred my one cheese too because I like it better. These are great recipes. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@lorig.7127]

Thank you for showing how easy this is! I had no idea.

[@heatherhendricks3188]

OMG YUM! These look AMAZING!!!

[@YolandaisYolandaCooks]

A must try. Thanks for sharing the details of the recipe.

[@texasbelle19]

I am just loving vlogmas Jen! I love cheese balls.

[@TimetoShrink]

Can’t wait to make this!!!

[@veronicasubban5205]

hi from South Africa I like ur recipes it has a little of everything & definitely going to try this Tku

[@ashleyevans6888]

Murphy’s snout is so cute!

[@ophiuchusoversoul1785]

those turned out so pretty!

[@wendyomalley7673]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video! I absolutely love to cook and over the years have come to really dislike the prepackaged shredded cheese....the consistency when melting it for different recipes just isn’t what I want. So I have been hand cutting and shredding block cheese and it is a pain! Never, ever thought of a food processor! It’s now on my Christmas list....thank you!

[@countingdownkate1832]

Thanks Jen! I’m definitely going to make both for Xmas and I’ll let you know what everyone thinks 😊

[@SuperOhsarah]

it would be so cute to make 3 and stack them and stick a carrot in for the nose for a party.

[@jacquemcarthur9783]

Gorgeous....I have made the classic cheese ball and rolled it in chili powder....i also make one with cream cheese, green onion and ham...omw....so so good....have a fantastic day Jen...btw you look amazing in red💞💞😃

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

I love a good cheese ball. I'm having a party in two weeks and I was going to make a cheese plate so I may make one of them.

[@kathycourington4748]

Have a recipe for chocolate chip cheese ball...yummy. They are all good. Thank you fir sharing these.

[@cassandrathefam5753]

Ok now I really want a food processor.

[@HelloFriend513]

Me too!! I think it will be a gift from me to me!!

[@joybowles1453]

I love these recipes. Thank you

[@sarahseales251]

I love seeing Murphy's nose at the edge of the counter. Gotta love a dog!!! :-)

[@annettecarolherbst]

I have this processor and it is my best friend only in competition with my KA mixer

[@kellyho3363]

Do you think it would turn out good if I used to pre shredded cheese and a stand mixer as I don't have a food processor? BTW loving your of log miss videos I could get used to a video every day from you lol

[@Jen-Chapin]

You could definitely use it yes!

[@beckyhelwig498]

They both look yummy. Would be great for watching football games. Have a great weekend.

[@ValTheMakeUpGal]

Both look delish 😛

[@texasoutlook60]

Yes, shredding your own cheese tastes better, has less preservatives, and cheaper! Already pinned them. Thanks & Blessings ~Sidney

[@ericastefanow5534]

The one "dislike" must be lactose intolerant...

[@smilinghoney8942]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DvLnDsGyZ]

Or a vegan lol

[@jessymahoney9377]

I’m lactose and still liked it lol

[@melissachochard4242]

Hey Jen You are making me hungry 😃😃😃

[@lisazale1158]

Murphy got a win!

[@ashleywomac2571]

First♥️ and I get to learn how to make a cheeseball?! Already a great day!

[@cynthiaordonezgrana1676]

Hi Jen! Love your channel. Do you happen to know what happened to Shellys Home Life channel? Any idea why she decided to shut her channel down?

[@georgiaedwards5937]

Murphy’s cracking me up. His nose in camera view. 😍

[@jeanieh9386]

If Murphy doesn’t watch out...he’s going to lose his nose when you are opening that cheese! Haha! My dogs are the same!

[@kathycourington4748]

Messy makes it fun! :)

[@christinec1217]

Yum!!

[@neciaonthego]

Love!

[@HannahMattox]

I made tacos last night with homemade taco seasoning, and shredded my own cheese. I thought of you when I did it. My kids didn't trust it was good because it wasn't "in a bag" 🙄 after that comment, they ain't ever getting store bought shredded cheese again 😂

[@HannahMattox]

Let me note, I shredded it by hand with a cheese grater. Not even a good cheese grater. It's a crappy one I bought in a pinch when I lost my good one. The thin plastic kind with a grater you could lose a finger on. I worked for that dang cheese. My kids are buzzards 😒

[@sissieb71]

Murphy also loves cheese

[@yolandadarnte]

Our cream cheese is expensive here here in South Africa tho you Guna pay from R35 to R45 serving so depend on makes !!

[@marroosh]

Everytime you say Worchestershire sauce I HAVE to correct you to myself with “ It’s Wus-ter-shur!”, but who cares really🤣

[@AceHardy]

🎊

[@tinapierce730]

I want that processor !!!!!

[@michaelcorcoran1214]

Is that one tablespoon or teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce?

[@michellealms3238]

How much ranch for recipe please..? Thanks for recipes. I subscribed🤠

[@suenewson997]

They look yummy x
