When you collect the cookbooks I do you find an fair number of “Ball” recipes in the Appetizer section. This ball, that ball, all the balls. Let’s check the heft.

This holiday season will be very different than most we can remember. Distance and safety SHOULD make for smaller gatherings but if you and your “pod” do gather appetizers are great and the jokes about balls are easy to make. So let’s get this going and start with “Family Favorites” from the Seniority Craft Group of Indian Path Medical Center of Kingsport, Tennessee.
