Pimento Cheese

I can’t claim this as an original recipe (considering I used to eat it at least once a week when I was a kid), but I wanted to share it with you anyway since it’s a comfort food that takes me back to my childhood. Pimento Cheese Spread is a traditional recipe in the south and one that my grandmother made frequently when we went to her house. She would use it to make the most delectable tea sandwiches that my brother, cousins and I would devour. While I admit that this recipe is somewhat out of character for weelicious in that it is not exactly super healthy, it is vegetarian and totally delicious, so indulging in it now and then seems ok to me.
Since it’s HalloWEEn, I’ve been thinking about orange and black themed recipes and what fun would it be to make a Pimento Cheese Spread sandwich on pumpernickel or dark rye and put it into your little one’s lunch box. Cut it into the shape of a pumpkin, bat, witch or ghost (yes, that’s a ghost pictured above) and lunchtime doesn’t get any more fun! Whether you’re trying to impress your kids during the holidays or just want a delicious dip or sandwich spread that’s perfect for any time of year, Pimento Cheese Spread will ensure you have a lot of happy customers. I hope one of my childhood favorites will become one of yours too!
