PECAN AND GOAT CHEESE BALLS
Two holiday traditions-the nut bowl and the cheese plate-unite in these refined cheese balls. Lily-pad-like parsley leaves add a herbaceous note echoed in the surprising (and surprisingly good) combination of rosemary and coriander in the center of the cheese. These diminutive marbles coated with sweet buttered pecans are just the right size, making them neat to eat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in upper third.
- Toss pecans with butter, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then toast in a 4-sided sheet pan until fragrant and a shade darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool completely.
- Pulse pecans in a food processor just until finely chopped, then transfer to a wide shallow bowl.
- Stir together goat cheese, rosemary, coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until combined well. Form teaspoons of cheese mixture into marbles between your palms, then roll in pecans to coat and roll between your palms again briefly. Transfer to a plate.
- Put a parsley leaf under each cheese marble and spear together with a wooden pick.
QUICKIE GOAT CHEESE AND PECAN BITES
These are make-ahead and filled with flavor. Get these done, refrigerate and just pull them out a little before serving. That's my idea of a great thing to have on hand for any time, however big or small. Rolling the goat cheese in pecans, lemons and parsley also gives the tangy goat cheese the perfect companion: crunchy, toasty pecans. The freshness of the parsley and lemon zest serves as the perfect bridge for these ingredients. These are also naturally gluten-free which can nicely round out any hors d'oeuvre platter you are planning for any occasion. These are balls of goat cheese that are rolled in crushed pecans mixed with a little lemon zest and chopped parsley. The platter can be mixed (some rolled with lemon zest and pecans and some rolled with parsley) to provide two type of colors and flavor, both simple and both centered on pecans. They can be made ahead or quickly...

HONEY PECAN & GOAT CHEESE SALAD
I once made this salad for my wife and son-who loves goat cheese-while our homemade pizza was baking. One of my dreams is to own a herd of goats and make cheese, but when I talk about it with my wife, the result is major eye rolls! -Greg Fontenot The Woodlands, Texas
