Steps:

• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese with cheddar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a generous pinch of pepper until well combined. Mix in 1/4 cup pecans. Cover cheese mixture with plastic wrap, and chill at least 2 1/2 hours or up to overnight.
• Divide the cheese mixture in half, and shape each half into a ball. Spread remaining 3/4 cup pecans on a plate, and roll balls in pecans to coat completely, pressing nuts to adhere. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and dressing mix. Form into one large ball or two smaller balls. Roll in chopped pecans to coat surface. Decorate the top with pecan halves. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Steps:

• In medium-sized bowel mix cream cheese, cracked pepper and Mrs. Dash seasoning.
• Divide into two balls.
• In small bowl put 1 tablespoon of flax seed and add one cheeseball, turning to coat all sides with seeds.
• Repeat with other cheeseball.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours before serving.
• Excellent with crackers and vegetables.

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, Cheddar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and shallots in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large sheet of plastic wrap, cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap and form into a football shape. Wrap up in the plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl and microwave until melted.
• Lay the crackers out on two baking sheets. Brush the tops with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the herb butter. Bake until fragrant and a shade darker, about 10 minutes. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to eat. (The crackers can be made up to 2 days ahead.)
• Toss the walnuts with the remaining herb butter and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Cool completely, then finely chop.
• Unwrap the cheese ball and cover completely with the walnuts. Transfer to a serving dish. Separate the string cheese into strands and arrange them to look like the laces on a football. Serve with the herbed crackers and crudites.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, pepper, and seasoning with a fork until blended.
• Divide into 2 balls.
• In a small bowl, put 1 tbsp flax seed, put in one ball, turning to coat all sides with seeds.
• Repeat with other ball.
• Wrap with plastic wrap, refrigerate two hours.
• serve with crackers or vegetables.

Steps:

• Cut each cheese slice into football shape with sharp knife; place 1 cheese slice on each cracker. Place cheese trimmings in resealable plastic bag and store in refrigerator for snacking or another use.
• Cut peppers into small pieces. Arrange on top of cheese to resemble the laces and seams of a football.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flaxseed, flaxseed meal, flours, baking soda, black pepper and salt. Add the butter, and using your fingers, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients. Some of the butter will resemble oatmeal flakes; others will be the size of small pebbles. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add the buttermilk, and use a fork to bring all of the ingredients together. Make sure that every bit of flour is moistened by the buttermilk. The dough will be shaggy.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead together about 10 times to bring the dough together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• When chilled, cut dough in half. On a lightly floured work surface, with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out half of the dough. Roll just thinner than 1/8 inch thick. Use a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out crackers, or use a pizza cutter to trim the edges and cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Prick each cracker with the tines of a fork and place on baking sheet.
• Bake crackers for 15 to 18 minutes, until slightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before placing in an airtight container to store.
• Crackers will last, in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 4 days.
