Pimento Cheese

Now that we are settled in, I am starting to cook more often! I began eating pimento cheese a few months ago when I was at a work luncheon and my boss had picked some up from a local coffee shop! At first, I was weary due to the tubs of it my mother use to purchase from the grocery store when it appeared real runny and gooey, but this was thick and chunky and appeared to have mostly cheese. I was beyond in love with the flavor of this sandwich and could not wait to make my own.

Now, I am about to attempt this recipe that I found called Cadillac Pimento Cheese (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cadillac-pimento-cheese/detail.aspx)

It calls for:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded processed American cheese food

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimento peppers

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 dash garlic powder


  • Then you mix it all together, season it, then chill! Here goes nothing! Pimento cheese for lunch on whole grain bread :)

    Oh how I love married life :)

    Married Life

    I am a college graduate - whooo hoo for Nutritionists! :)

    Also, my little brother is now a high school graduate!


    I had my "bachelorette trip" with my girls for a weekend at the beach before the wedding and had a blast spending the weekend with each of them :)


    I have been married to my best friend, Benton for almost 2 weeks now!










    It's hard to believe that we were in Jamaica this time last week!



    We were at Sandals Whitehouse and it was beautiful there! We are so blessed to have been so fortunate to go there. We met a lot of other honeymooners and we were able to relax and eat a lot of varieties of food too!

    Our house has came together piece by piece and room by room. But the house and the honeymoon mean nothing compared to how great it is to wake up beside my best friend every morning.

    Sweet Zoe, our puppy has made the transition into the new home very well! She is just the sweetest little pup!


    I cannot wait to hear back from the University of West Florida about my Master's program that I applied for. Also, I am looking forward to applying for the fall round of dietetic internships!

    Finally, I have been able to cook a lot more lately with my husband which is wonderful! :)

    Short post, yes, but I must get some rest and do laundry - it calls my name :)
