    1. Hi Tina!! Help yourself - what an honor to be included in your blog!! This Cheddar Ranch cheeseball is the best recipe...quick, easy and delicious. You can customize it so many ways, i.e. use Italian seasoning vs. Ranch, roll in pecan, etc. After reading back over this though, I don't believe I serve this with tortilla chips; it's a little too thick for that. Unless, of course, you want to stir in some salsa to thin it to dip consistency.

      Hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!!
