Southern Living takes pimiento cheese spread to a new level by adding some heat and baking it in the oven. The result is a marvelous hors d'oeuvre to enjoy in front of the fireplace while watching yet another football game.
Hopefully you have shed some of the pounds you gained during the holidays, since January can be a tricky month, weight wise. Between the snowstorms we have been having and the football games ahead I don't know what is worse. So enjoy it while you can...next stop Valentine's Day!
