My daughter, Lindsay, turned 25 this weekend and we did a Texas themed birthday party to celebrate our family roots. BBQ and all the Fixins plus some other nibbles...
Here are a few of the recipes that folks have requested:
Pineapple-PepperJack Pimento Cheese Dip
1 cup grated Pepper Jack Cheese
2 cups grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 small can Crushed Pineapple (Drained)
1 cup Mayo (may need to add few more Tbsp for desired consistency)
1 small jar diced Pimentos (Drained well)
1 small Jalopeno Pepper (seeded/deveined) chopped fine
3 Green Onions/Scallions sliced fin, green and whites
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
In large bowl mix the Mayo, Onions, Pimentos, Jalopeno. Add in Pineapple, but dont over mix or it will get watery. Gently fold in Cheeses until well combined. Refrigerate for few hours to allow flavors to marry.
Serve with hearty crackers, pita chips or roll into tortillas jelly roll style and slice. Also great as a grilled cheese sandwich. I have also spread this into a platter and topped with Pepper Jelly...
ENJOY!
