My interests are photography and crafting. I am a resident of the beautiful southern city of Birmingham, Alabama. You can read more about my life on Honeysuckle Life.

I have a new fail safe recipe for showers and parties.  The name of which takes longer to say than the recipe does to make!  One of the easiest dips I’ve ever made, and everyone at the party loved it.  It makes a lot of dip (about 4 cups).  It’s also perfect for all these quintessential Southern gatherings.  What’s a baby shower without pimento cheese?

  1. At the vow renewal I was wondering what was in Pimento Cheese! I had no idea that pimentos were not included! Thanks!! I am going to have to try this. :)

  2. You had me at spicy+cheese.

  3. So I FINALLY made this. It was fantastic and a hit at the party I brought it to. I made it in the AM for the party that night. That seemed to give the flavors time to blend and made it even more fantastic! Thanks for the new receipe to add to the collection!
