Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Salmon Cheese Ball

Original Recipe from:  Virginia Bowers-Johnson

My mother used to make this appetizer for the events she catered.  Always a popular menu selection with her clients.  Treat your guests to this tasty cheese ball at your next get together.  Enjoy! 

Cheese Ball Ingredients

1 pound can Salmon
8 ounce cream cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried onions
1 teaspoon horseradish
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon liquid smoke

Topping Ingredients
¼ cup chopped Pecans
3 tablespoons Parsley


Directions

Drain Salmon thoroughly.  Place in medium size mixing bowl.  Flake Salmon with a fork. 

Add softened cream cheese, Lemon Juice, Onions, Horseradish, Sea Salt and Liquid Smoke.  Mix all ingredients thoroughly.  Note:  I find it much easier and get better results mixing cheese balls with my hands, but you can use any method that gets the job done.

Form cheese mixture into a ball.  Roll in Pecan and Parsley topping.

Chill for at least an hour before serving.  Serve with crackers or pita chips.

Toss with the cheese and salad dressing. 

Serve immediately.
