Homemade Pimento Cheese

December 15, 2014 by Jeff Portaro Leave a Comment

Growing up we always had the pre-made store bought version of Pimento Cheese to put on our Pimento Cheese sandwiches, but a few years ago I started to make it from scratch every once in a while. This is the best recipe I have come up with and the pepper jack cheese gives it a nice kick.

Yeast Biscuits a.k.a. Candy Bread

December 6, 2014 by Jeff Portaro Leave a Comment

I’ve always enjoyed the Sister Schubert’s Parker House Style Rolls that you can get in the frozen foods section at the grocery store, but came across this recipe in Southern Living magazine for the exact same thing. These biscuits are amazing to say the least and go great with my homemade apple butter.

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad

December 3, 2014 by Jeff Portaro 1 Comment

As a kid I never realized that this had to have been my mom’s secret way of getting us to eat our vegetables. This dish was always a requested item at the many family reunions and covered dish dinners we attended growing up. I’m not sure if it was the bacon or the dressing that got me hooked, but I still enjoy this recipe.
