Monday, Monday

Happy Monday everyone!  Once again, the weekend was too short - we didn't get anywhere near accomplishing everything on our to do list.  But I did catch up on some sleep - and some laundry, so I guess it was a successful weekend!

Austin and I also discovered the ultimate Sunday lunch sandwich - a pimento cheese BLT.  I found the idea on one of my many foodie internet binges, but tweaked it a little :)

I used Bobby Deen's Pimento Cheese Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar
• 1 cup grated Monterey Jack (I used 2 cups Mississippi State cheddar)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows (I used Tony's - because I use Tony's in EVERYTHING)
• 2 to 3 tablespoons pimentos, smashed
• 1 teaspoon grated onion (I used Onion powder)
• Cracked black pepper

Directions

Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add all of the remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. 

Austin cooked the bacon, and I sliced up the veggies.  I toasted some Sour Dough bread, spread the pimento cheese mixture on it, and topped it with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.  It was ABSOLUTELY divine!  I have to have texture in my food, and sometimes plain pimento cheese is too mushy for my taste.  But bacon makes EVERYTHING better!  This is definitely something I'm going to keep around.  Oh, and Mississippi State cheese is the best cheese ever...I'm just saying!
