"I am 19 weeks pregnant and all I want to eat are sour foods (pickles, tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, grapefruit, Zaxby's sauce, etc.) Well, last night I made a sandwich on toasted whole grain bread with this pimento cheese, sliced tomato, and dill pickles, and it was the BEST THING I've ever put into my mouth! Like my friend Brandi said, "Like manna from heaven"! This recipe is great for those of you who don't like too much mayonnaise in your pimento cheese. Makes 26 4-oz servings. Each serving: 185 cals."

For years I have attempted to find a decent recipe that would stand in the place of Kraft's Pimento Cheese Spread which I love but will not pay such an exorbitant price for a tiny jar of it. Well, yours hit the spot! Flavor wise it is super & to make it easier to spread on crackers or veggies I just add a bit of milk. And you are right...best sandwich ever! Thank you for sharing this tasty tidbit! Diane E. Bluemke

I got married to my high school sweetheart in August 06 at the ripe old age of 21, and my husband Luke and I just moved to Birmingham, AL from Auburn. He's in his second year of dental school at UAB. I have a BFA in Graphic Design, and I'm a designer at Time Inc and doing freelance design work on the side. I'm planning to go to grad school for a Master's of Fine Arts in Book Arts some time or another. I had deferred because I think the timing will be better once Luke gets out of school and perhaps I might not need to commute the hour over there. Getting married and getting HALF of a refrigerator instead of sharing one with seven other girls really ignited a cooking fire in me! Lately I've been trying to cut out the sugar, which is hard, because Luke likes sugary pancakes and cereal, and because I like baking things. I need to quit baking! Trying to lose the newlywed nine so I can fit into my winter clothes.
