Sitting at His Feet
1 lb. Velveeta, cubed
1 jar (7.5 oz.) pimientos (Roland’s sweet pimientos are the best!)
1 c. Hellman’s mayonnaise
In a microwave-safe dish melt Velveeta cubes for 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir. Cook for 30 seconds more. Chop and drain pimientos. Blend into melted cheese. Cook 30 seconds more. Stir in mayonnaise. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve on your favorite bread (maybe this Honey Wheat Bread) for a sandwich or on crackers for an appetizer. Delicious recipe from my friend, Patty W.
1 – 16 oz. bag of frozen broccoli, carrots and cauliflower, thawed and drained
1 can cream of mushroom
1 c. Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 t. black pepper, freshly ground
1 small jar chopped pimientos
1 – 28 oz. can French fried onions
In a large bowl, combine vegetables, soup, 1/2 c. cheese, sour cream pepper, pimientos and 1/2 can French fried onions. Blend together and pour into 1 qt. casserole dish. Bake covered in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and onions. Bake uncovered 5 minutes longer.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except Italian bread. Mix well. Lay Italian bread slices out on a sheet pan; top with chicken and cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread crust is crunchy dry.
Enjoy!

Here is another favorite for a fondue party. We love to serve this on game nights with friends! Even if you do not enjoy games, you can munch on some tasty cheese and veggies.
3 oz. cream cheese
3 oz. sharp cheddar, grated
3 oz. Swiss cheese, grated (may substitute mozzarella cheese)
1 T. flour
1/2 c. white wine (or dry white cooking wine)
1/8 t. garlic salt
dash cayenne pepper
Toss cheese with flour. Pour wine into fondue bowl and heat until bubbles rise to surface. Gradually stir in cheeses, a handful at a time, stirring until melted. Beat with fork to blend smoothly. Stir in garlic salt and cayenne. Great with sour dough or french bread and vegetables like carrots, radishes, celery or green and red peppers.
