Happy July 4th Weekend!

In honor of one of our favorite pastimes for this holiday – EATING, I thought I’d share one of my personal holiday staples: Pimento Cheese.

Now, I KNOW, some recipes are SACRED, but this one is new to me & my family, and this has been the go-to recipe I’ve used for the last few years, with a lil’ addition that I’ll note below the article. SOOO, if you’re looking for something else to try for the picnic, or to stuff your face with on the couch 😁, give it a shot.

It’s great with crackers, on bread, as a spread on your burger, and my personal fave, stuffed into hot or sweet peppers and baked/grilled!

• if you don’t want to scroll through the original article, the recipe’s below

* i personally like to add a few drops of Frank’s Red Hot or hot sauce of your choice.
this recipe is also super easy to double for a big crowd, or half  if you know you’re gonna eat the whole thing all by yourself and have no self control but don’t want to be a piglet (not that i know this from personal experience 😇)
