Things to snack on before the Turkey is ready...

I don't know about you guys but at my house someone is always hungry. So I like to make a few things for everyone to snack on before the meal is ready.  Here are a few of my holidays ideas..


Fruit Cheese Ball

1 8 oz cream cheese softened
1 8 oz can crushed pineapple drained
1 lg. box  instant vanilla pudding
1 jar of maraschino cherries drained and sliced
1/2 cup chopped pecans


Mix the cream cheese, pineapple, vanilla pudding, cherries together well. Form into a ball and roll in the crushed pecans and refrigerate until ready to serve.  I like to use graham crackers or teddy grahams with this...
