Ingredients 

• 1/4 cup butter

• 1 teaspoon (tsp) Cherchies® Lem'n Dill Seasoning (or Cherchies® Lem’n Dill Seasoning NO_SALT)

• 2 teaspoons (tsp) parmesan cheese, grated

• 1 pkg. refrigerated crescent rolls

Preparation 
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (350 degrees for a non-stick baking sheet).

Unroll the dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Melt butter and add Cherchies® Lem'n Dill Seasoning and parmesan cheese.  Blend thoroughly. 

Baste each triangle from the crescent roll package with the mixture before rolling and baking.  Roll up triangles, beginning with the wide end, and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet or parchment paper.

For presentation, I like to dab the outside of the rolls with a little butter mixture.  This is optional.  Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

Picked Red Onion Recipe

Tasty Pickle Red Onions Recipe

If you want to add a pop of zing and an extra dimension of flavor and crunch to your sandwiches, Southwestern dishes, burgers, etc., you need to make these tangy-sweet pickled red onions. Beware, once you make them, you'll wonder why you never made them before, and you'll obsess about keeping a jar on hand in the refrigerator at all times:). Well, maybe not obsess:).

Homemade pickled onions are incredibly delicious and easy to make. They brighten up any dish with a tangy pop of flavor, require a handful of ingredients, and take minutes to prepare. If you haven't tried them, your tastebuds are missing out. The main ingredients for pickled onions are usually vinegar, water, and salt. There are fancier recipes on the internet, sometimes with fresh herbs, garlic, fruit, peppercorns, etc.; however, our version features red onions, Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning, apple cider vinegar, and red wine vinegar (* homemade-see notes).

As I've often mentioned in other blog posts, our children (now college students) are often guinea pigs and our best food critics for new recipes that I create. Over the years, it has been wonderful watching their palates mature with them trying different foods, including pickled red onions. When our daughter and son came home for the weekend recently for a visit, their favorite Taco Night was on the menu. It was the perfect time to introduce pickled red onions as one of the taco toppings, and I was pleasantly surprised at their reactions. They gave the pickled red onions a thumbs up!

The Best Pimento Cheese Recipe

If you ask anyone from the Southern part of the United States what their favorite appetizer is, undoubtedly, they will answer pimento cheese. A staple in most Southern households, pimento cheese is a tasty savory spread made mainly of different cheeses, mayonnaise, pimentos, etc. It is a fantastic dip with crackers and vegetables, but it is versatile enough to be used in countless culinary dishes—more on that in a bit.

This easy recipe comes from our friend Sandra from Lexington, South Carolina. Her recipe uses Cherchies® Pretty Peppers and Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning, and she insists on only using Duke’s* mayonnaise (a preferred Southern mayonnaise- much harder to find here in Pennsylvania). Her family and friends rave about this recipe; we think you will too. Make this tasty dip for your next gathering, and watch it disappear right before your eyes. It is easy, addicting, and is sure to become one of your favorite recipes.

Not only is pimento cheese the perfect complement to crackers and vegetables, but did you know you can cook with it? Here are a few ideas to get your creative culinary juices flowing:

• As a sandwich between two slices of bread

• In grilled cheese sandwiches

• In Macaroni and cheese

• Served on top of burgers

• Heated to serve as a fondue with bread chunks

• Folded into grits

• Dolloped over fries to create incredible cheese fries.

• On top of baked potatoes

• Folded in deviled eggs

• So much more!

*Note- We have also tested this recipe with Helman’s for the same great results.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (we prefer to use freshly grated cheese, rather than bagged shredded cheese).

• 1/2 cup grated pepper jack cheese (we prefer to use freshly grated cheese, rather than bagged shredded cheese).

• 1/2 cup grated Monterrey Jack Cheese (we prefer to use freshly grated cheese, rather than bagged shredded cheese).

• 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature.

• 1/2 cup *Duke’s Mayonnaise (or more for desired consistency)

• 1/2 jar Cherchies® Pretty Peppers, drained

• 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning (more to taste)

• Ground pepper to taste

Preparation

Drain the Pretty Peppers in a colander and set them aside. Add softened cream cheese to a medium bowl. Grate the cheddar, Monterrey Jack, and pepper jack cheeses and add them to the bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning, pepper, and mix with a hand mixer.

Once combined, gently add in the Pretty Peppers and stir with a spoon or spatula until thoroughly combined.

Refrigerate for at least two hours. The flavors only intensify, so making this ahead of a gathering is perfectly acceptable. Add crackers and vegetables for a delicious dip when ready to serve, the perfect addition to charcuterie platters. Or, add the pimento cheese to your favorite dish (see above).

Enjoy!
