Happy National Cheeseball Day!

April 17, 2020 By Gina Michak

Let’s face it, foodie friends. We are ALL looking for something to celebrate these days. I have never been good about keeping up with “International/National fill-in-the-blank day ” , but times have changed. I have a little more time to look up these facts and share them with you, lol.

I’ve been ready for this day since October, then again at Christmastime. My cheeseball is NOT your typical one though. It has a theme. No surprise, it’s Disney theme.

One of my favorite movies to watch the last three months of the year (every year) is “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. So on Halloween, I break out my “Jack Skellington” cheeseball recipe, and all my Disney peeps at our party rejoice! It’s Jack, in all his cheesy deliciousness!

And since the movie is really about two holidays, I can take this appetizer into the Christmas season as well!

The Jack Skellington cheeseball works from Halloween until Christmas!

Of course you an use the recipe year round (without the face) or , get your Disney on and decorate yours to look like our favorite Pumpkin King!

It easy to whip up, and great for an afternoon snack, party appetizer, or as addition to a cheese platter!

Print Recipe

Jack Skellington Cheeseball

Ingredients

  • 2 8 oz packages of softened cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 c cooked bacon, crumbled or bacon bits (I use bacon bits, and I like to add a little extra. Everything’s better with bacon!)
  • 1/2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • Black olives (some whole, sme cut into halves, for the facial features)
  • Parchment or Wax paper for easy molding

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients into a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl with a hand mixer) mix well.
  • Place combined ingredients on your parchment or wax paper, pick up with your hands and form into a ball. Make it as round as possible.
  • Place your cheeseball on a plate or serving platter, and get ready to decorate!
  • Make the details of Jack’s face out of the olives.
  • Place in refrigerator for an hour (covered) to set.
  • Once set, it’s ready to serve. Add tortilla chips or pretzels (I love the holiday shaped ones!) carrots, crackers or slices of baguette around your creation.

Hope you’ll try this around YOUR kitchen table this weekend!

Happy National Cheeseball day, friends!

Posted @withregram • @almosttheretravelbygina Le Posted @withregram • @almosttheretravelbygina Let's look at the world of a Travel Agent through a little bit of a different lens today . 
 See what I did there? 🤣🤣

Here are 5 things you may not know about my life as a travel agent:

1️⃣ I don’t travel for free! While it’s possible I’ll have the opportunity to earn travel discounts (so that I have ability to attend more research trips to get insider info for my clients), I pay for my personal trips out of pocket. 
2️⃣ I’m only paid via commission by the companies / vendors I book vacations through for my clients. And though I work SO incredibly hard with / for my clients prior to their travels, I’m not compensated until AFTER they get home from their vacations! 
3️⃣ Though I mostly post about Disney (and if you have been following me , you should know by now Disney is MORE than theme parks! ) , I am also registered with Universal.  I will be certified as a Hawaii specialist soon, and have completed training with "Autism Double Checked" to assist clients with special needs. 
4️⃣ It doesn’t take more time to work with a travel agent like myself. Heck, it saves you time! As a travel agent, I do the research FOR you, put together vacation proposals for you, make payments for you, put together pre-vacation itineraries for you, etc.! 
5️⃣ I have been a travel agent for 3 years now, and have had my share of referral clients.

When people recommend my services to others, it means the absolute world to me! 🥰

Do you have any questions for me on my life as a travel agent? I’d love to answer / chat with you! ✨
