As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I start to plan Christmas dinner.  My mom always served ham, which was delicious, but I like to switch it up and serve beef.  This year I’m making beef wellington and everyone can’t wait to sit down.

I start the planning with the appetizer, which honestly to me, is the best part.

Everyone can gather around in the kitchen, noshing on food, merrily drinking and reading their manuals for their newest “toys.”

This year, while perusing through Meijer, in the refrigerated seafood section, I found Louis Kemp® Crab Delights® Flake Style.  I had recently seen in a magazine where they took seafood, made it into a cheese ball and then rolled it in everything bagel seasoning.  So that is where I got my inspiration from.

Louis Kemp Crab Delights are made with premium Wild Alaskan Pollock fillets, gluten-free and a great source of protein.  They’re also low in calories and cholesterol which is great since we’re all trying to watch our waistlines behavior around this time of year.

Did I mention it’s super easy?  It’s a matter of throwing everything into your stand mixer and mixing, rolling to a ball, chilling and then rolling into everything bagel seasoning.  Yes, that’s it.  Super delicious appetizer and amazingly easy?  YES PLEASE!

I plan on serving this Crab and Everything Bagel Cheese Ball with crackers toasts in garlic flavor but it would also be great with bagel chips.  Get what I did there.

Now go forth and make a show stopping appetizer, kick up your feet and enjoy the laughter of your friends and family this holiday season.  You deserve it!
