Winter is here!
Well my friends it finally here, cold southern winds, low snow falls, and nights curled up in bed early just to keep warm. I know personally that when it's cold I EAT! Which is not a good thing when your watching what you eat, but it's about finding a balance between warm and fullsome and healthy. I have found a couple of dishes over the years to do just that, and I'm not talking about just soups (although a minestrone is one I cannot live without).
Keeping your feet of the cold tiles during preparation, not making a mess in the kitchen, and something not to leave crumbs in the bed are my 3 rules for quick late night warmers.
TPimento cheese is a classic Southern snack spread, and one taste of this easy party recipe and you'll wonder why it's not more popular in other parts of the country.
Classic Southern Pimento Cheese Spread
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
3 cups freshly shredded extra sharp white cheddar cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups small diced roasted red bell peppers (freshly fire-roasted, or from a jar)
1/2 cup chopped pimento-stuffed green olives
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco to taste
Preparation:
In large mixing bowl stir together cheeses, peppers, olives, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco. May be served as is, or molded with a bowl, or into a ball with plastic wrap. Serve with crackers, crisps, or bread.
So kick back and enjoy
