If your calendar looks anything like mine – you’re probably only a couple of days away from crazy. My December is brimming with holiday parties, potlucks, shopping dates, and family gatherings. And with all these festive commitments usually comes food and lots of it.

Along with arming you with a bunch of cookie recipes, I also wanted to provide you with a couple of simple appetizers that are sure to make your party prep a little easier and of course – more delicious!

We couldn’t get enough of this Feta Cheese Ball. We both kept sneaking into the fridge to steal a nibble throughout the day, even though we were supposed to be saving it for my co-workers.

The feta, cream cheese, oregano and garlic blend harmoniously to create an irresistible appetizer that will keep your guests congregated around the appetizer table long enough for you to finish all those last minute dinner preps that didn’t get done because the doorbell started ringing.

I love the fact that it’s simple, requires minimal prep work and it doesn’t require you to turn on the oven – especially when there’s cookies to made! Surround the Feta Cheese Ball with a variety of crackers, flat bread, and olives and you’ll create the perfect party platter for any event.

It’s hard to resist a great cheese ball recipe!

    The fun thing about cheese rolls truly lies in their versatility; the combinations are endless and honestly I think eating the “snack” food is so much more fun than the main course.

    Don’t you?

    this is my favorite way to use feta:

    Feta, Parsley and Cous Cous Salad

    Ingredients:

    -1 package israeli cous cous (the large ball kind)
    -1/3 lb feta cheese
    1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
    large bunch of parsley, chopped (thyme works well too if you prefer)
    olive oil
    salt and pepper

    Cook the cous cous according to package directions. Remove from heat and put into large glass serving bowl. Add about a quarter cup olive oil, tomatoes, feta cheese, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well. Cover and chill for a few hours to meld the flavors. Makes a great summer salad for picnics or a BBQ.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
    4. In a large bowl, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, kalmata olives and remaining dressing.
    5. Bake for 15-20 min or until chicken is done.
