Cheese Ball By: Kathy L.

Recipe Story

My grandson, Carter L., who is sixteen years old, has cystic fibrosis. We have been taking Carter to the CF clinic all his life and my husband and I feel honored to know his doctors and caregivers. The CF clinic is a treasure for families with CF children and we feel very blessed to be able to glean from the treasures of care and information that they hold and offer so willingly to all that seek and ask. This recipe that I am sharing has been in our family since I have been married (44 years this year). My husband's brother passed away this year on Mother's Day and he and his wife had been married for 63 years. This recipe from our family has delighted family and guests on Christmas holidays for years and blessed all that attended baby showers and bridal showers in Birmingham, Alabama, and Marietta, Georgia. It is a treasure of mine, just like my grandson, Carter. Enjoy!
