Homemade Pimento Cheese Recipe

Homemade Pimento Cheese Recipe. Summer is on the horizon and I’m already making a meal plan while the kids are home for summer vacation. We are a busy family.  This year is our first summer in our new ranch home that we recently built.  We’ve been adding fruit trees and livestock and plenty of chickens so the kids can collect eggs. We even have a garden started so we’ll have fresh vegetables for our meals.

For lunch I love sandwiches because it gets the kids in and back out where they want to be, quicker.  They are enjoying their best life on our new Texas ranch.

One of our favorite sandwiches is made from homemade pimento cheese.  It’s cheesy, creamy, and chock full of flavor. This recipe is one I learned from my mom.  She’s given permission for me to share it with you and I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do.
