Today's issue featured Sides that Steal the Show.
There are several that interested me. I've picked my favorites to post here.
This one is from Alicia Ross, Kitchen Scoop.
It's a cheese spread for crackers, celery sticks, pretzels or bread.
You can heat it in the microwave, melt it, stir well and you have a new take on Queso Dip!
Pepper Jack Cheese Spread with Jalapenos:
2 C shredded pepper jack cheese, room temperature
3 oz. cream cheese, room temperature

Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or mix by hand with a wooden spoon.

Classic Egg Salad:
Typically, I wouldn't post a recipe for Egg Salad. Americans take it for granted that an egg salad recipe would be included in a picnic. You may want to search All American Picnic Food on the blog for the story and recipes about picnics. Every family has their favorite recipe and some of them have been handed down from generation to generation.
However, I have readers in many countries that may not be familiar with Egg Salad.
7 large eggs that have already beed hard boiled
1/4 C mayonnaise
2 1/4 tsp yellow mustard
1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/8 tsp of hot sauce ( optional)...... Tabasco Sauce! ( I do not use this in my egg salad).
2 TBS sweet pickle relish
black pepper to taste
Whisk together, in a small bowl:
mayonnaise
mustard
vinegar
hot sauce
Stir in pickle relish
season with pepper
Place hard boiled eggs in another bowl, use a potato masher or two forks and break the eggs into small chunks.
Add the mayonnaise mixture to the eggs and stir to combine.
Variations: Add any of these to the egg salad:Add any of these to the egg salad:
I recommend any of these additions.
4 tsp fresh snipped fresh dill
4 tsp coarsely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp smoked paprika ( add to the mayonnaise mixture first)
3 TBS Pimento
Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
