Potatoes Con Queso
"I can't wait to make these! I adore Queso--creamy, cheesy, spicy--what's not to love? I especially like the inclusion of pimento, which really adds zip to any Queso dip or sauce. If you haven't tried it, here's your chance!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love to try new recipes and mainly look for ones that are new and different, such as a twist on an old favorite or something no one's ever thought of! I also enjoy writing in my spare time. I live in Northeast Ohio where the weather isn't the greatest, humid in the summer and cold winters- but it has been nice growing up by the lake! I own two wonderful cats who can be quite a handful at times, but my fiancee and I couldn't live without them!
