5 Minute Pimento Cheese.



Today my mom whipped up a batch of amazing pimento cheese in about 5 minutes!! I saw her start to make it, and by the time I cleaned off the table for lunch, it was DONE! Now maybe I am easily impressed, but I was blown away with how EASY and QUICK this was!! The best part? It lasts up to 2 weeks - or more!! My mom has no set recipe, but loosely follow the recipe below - adding/subtracting to your taste - and you'll have an easy lunch or dinner ready and waiting in no time! Pair with crackers and a salad for a light meal. So good!

My Mom's Pimento Cheese

1/2 block Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 4 oz. jar of pimentos 
2 heaping tablespoons of mayo
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons of jalapeno slices
Hot sauce, to taste (mom uses 2-3 shakes of the bottle)
OR
instead of using hot sauce, you can substitute a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper

Put everything in the food processor. Pulse until you get the consistency you prefer. DONE!

My nail polish is Essie "Fiji"

    P.S. Sounds like St. Barths would be a perfect place for an anniversary! Easiest way to get there is via ferry from St Martin. Jetblue and AA have direct flights, should be about $350 for Nov.. I'm told St. Barths is like a slice of European luxury, expensive yes, but totally worth it apparently! Hope you find just what you're looking for :-)
