Heavenly Pineapple Cheeseball recipe is always one of the biggest hits at any gathering and every party. We cannot allow the combination of foods to gross us out. This would not be one of my favorites if it tasted disgusting. So bear with me and give this a try. I had actually received this from a very dear friend. His mother used to make it for the family on special occasions. When she passed on, he wanted to pass on one of her best and favorite recipes.
I love appetizers! No big meals to make, just lots of little tasty dishes to sample – it totally appeals the foodie in me! Our family serves appetizers for dinner on some weeknights, along with game night, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, before Thanksgiving dinner, and lots of time when we have groups of friends over to gab or play games.
