1 -   8 oz package of cream cheese (light or fat free works)
 8 - 16 oz Sharpe Cheddar Cheese (grating yourself seems 
         to work better than buying it grated)
 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (light works)
 1/2 cup mayo (light works)
 1/2 cup skim milk
 Mix Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, milk and mayo.  
 Add in cream cheese and cheddar cheese.  
 Mix well (It's best to use your hands)
 Put into freezer for about 20 minutes.  Shape into ball(s) 
 (makes 2 good size balls, 3 smaller). 
 Put back into freezer just long enough to make the ball firm 
 enough to roll.
 Roll cheeseball in pecans pieces or chopped parsley.
 (Unrolled cheeseballs freeze really good.)
 Extras: add one or more of these ingredients when you add the 
 cheese.
 Red pepper 
 Chopped Green Onions
 Finely Chopped celery, green pepper
 Minced Garlic
 Serve with crackers (wheat, cracked pepper, tricuits, etc -- almost
 every kind works -- stay away from "flavored" crackers)
 Enjoy -- you'll be the hit of the party!!!
