Pimiento Cheese
I grew up in the midwest and one of my favorite things was Kraft Pimento Spread in a little jar that you could use for a juice glass. I loved it with Cheez-its. Yes, I know "very classy", but it's delicious and I still like it! Anyway, I decided to make "real" Pimiento Cheese spread. It's mostly popular in the south. It has a hint of spiciness. This spread is perfect for parties served as an appetizer with crackers or spread it on a sandwich, burger, etc...

Pan-Fried Onion Dip
This Pan-Fried Onion Dip is a classic, but made from scratch, not from the packet. It's Ina Garten's recipe. The only thing I changed is to cut the onions into smaller pieces.

Cowboy Butter
My sister-in-law Rhonda gave me this recipe for Cowboy Butter. She said it was life changing! It's so delicious. You can make it 2 ways - one melted and the other like a compound butter, which can be used on top of cooked meat, vegetables or fish.

Lime Dill Sauce with Shrimp
There have been countless times in my cooking career that I have made mistakes. I get so mad at myself and usually realize the glaring error after I finished the dish.
Rule #1 - ALWAYS read the entire recipe first!
Rule #2 - get you ingredients organized (mis-en-place)!
Rule #3 - Don't take it too seriously!
This recipe for Lime Dill Sauce with Shrimp is a) meant to be a salad with creamy sauce b) supposed to have chopped celery in it c) you are meant to whip the cream. I did none of those things! I was obviously very tired! This recipe morphed into something better and everyone I served it to loved it.
