Southern Pimento Cheese

I do believe this Yankee actually whimpered out loud when I took the first bite of this Pimento Cheese! As we're officially coming into Snacking Season (you put your bikini away for the summer right?) I highly recommend adding this to your list of things to try. I can't imagine it not being a big hit at any gathering!
See the celery? Yea, that's just for show. I'm kidding:@)... kinda...
Seriously folks, this is great!

Southern Pimento Cheese-from Allrecipes.com
2 C extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 C mayonnaise
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne powder, optional-I added it
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced, optional-I added it
4oz jar of diced pimento, drained
S&P to taste-I didn't add any additional salt
-Add everything to bowl of mixer and mix well.
-Chill until ready to serve.
-Serve with what ever you would like!!! Doubt you could go wrong with anything! It's going on my bagel this morning...

My tip this week: If there's one thing I hope you take away from visits to Pig In Mud (besides maybe a giggle here and there) it's if you live alone or there are only two of you, I encourage you to still cook for yourself! Don't hesitate to cut recipes in half, or more, pictured is 1/4 of this recipe and I'm loving every bite!
