Jalapeno Pimento Cheese

Pimento cheese has always been a favorite in the Farris household.  We love it with pita chips, crackers, on bread, in a grilled cheese, on a burger, etc.  There are so many possibilities!

Spicy food is also very popular in our household.  We will post a great recipe for stuffed, grilled jalapeños at a later date.  Right now, this recipe has become one of my favorite items to make and have available in the frig at all times.

I took a recipe that I saw online, and adapted it a bit for my taste.  Hopefully you will like it as much as I do.

I will add a picture at a later date, but right now I just wanted to make sure that you have the recipe.  I am on travel in Nashville, TN and cannot figure out how to get a pic at the moment.

Jalapeño Pimento Cheese

Prep time is about 10 minutes

Ingredients

4 cups of shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese - I buy a block of cheese and shred it myself in my Kitchen Aid Food Processor.  I don’t think the pre-shredded cheese works as well.
4 oz of cream cheese, softened
1 container of jalapeño cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise - I use Duke’s mayonnaise
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely minced
1 (4 oz) jar diced pimentos, drained
Salt and pepper, to taste

Place all ingredients in a large bowl.  Stir well until combined.  Put in a container in the refrigerator.  This is best made ahead and refrigerated for several hours before eating to let the flavors mingle.


I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Hugs, Meg and Brittany

The Beginning

The Beginning

Everything must start somewhere and Brittany and I have had a vision for this blog but have not set it in motion yet.  So, I am going to start with describing our vision for this blog.  We want to post all of our travels, all the wonderful meals we create or partake in and the projects that we do.  Brittany alone has done a lot of traveling over the last year and we need to document that in this blog.  We both love to cook and eat great food so we need to document our recipes and adventures in food.  

One of the things that we are trying to do is document all of the crafts that we make that we will sell or are just doing for ourselves.  Things that we sell will be posted on Backporchcrafting.blogspot.com.  We will highlight some of the items here but will promote them on the other site and maybe even Etsy.  We will keep you updated on that here as well.  We feel like we have a lot of talent between the two of us but we will let you make that determination for yourself.  

We want to share this adventure, call Life, with all of you so I hope you enjoy Planes, Plates and Projects!  Let us know if there is anything you would like to see!

Hugs,

Meg and Brittany
