Author Notes
Scott's Cheese Ball recipe with pecans and m&m's is super easy to make, deliciously sweet, and is a crowd pleaser. Ever since we lost Scott, the joy of Christmas has been infused with sadness because it was his favorite holiday. We miss Scott every day but our hearts are heavier during this season of hope, redemption, and love. —Jas
