Cheese Ball

2 - 8ox packages 1/3 less fat Cream Cheese - softened to almost room temp

8 oz Sharp cheddar cheese - Shredded (I like Cabot white cheddar)

1 Tbsp. minced pimento

1 Tbsp. minced green bell pepper (or any color)

1 Tbsp. minced sweet yellow onion

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Dash of Cayenne Pepper (or two if you're adventurous)

(OPTIONAL) - Chopped pecans, parsley (or other mixed herbs) or walnuts to roll the ball in

Cream together the 2 cheeses, add the remaining ingredients (except optional ones). Shape it into a ball. Wrap w/foil and chill for 24 hrs. After it's chilled well, roll in nuts or herbs.

Serve with crackers and let the munching begin! I really like the Kashi crackers - they are pretty healthy and taste wonderful.
