tonight i curled my hair with pin-back charm and sizzled in my "rebecca bloomwood" vibrant purple dress. more importantly, my cheese ball was a hit. it's my new go-to recipe for events-- gorgonzola and cranberry cheese ball. it is miiiighty tasty and perfect for a group. plus, gorgonzola is so fun to say!
one of my new year's resolutions is to try, and share, a new recipe every month. this one counts for last month but is still worthy of a blog post. bon appetit!
