I have a confession: I like pimento cheese. I still consider pimento cheese a treat. Unfortunately, I know that, even made with natural ingredients, it’s not good for me. Thank goodness for red pepper pesto, which provides all of the great pimento cheese taste with none of the guilt. For those of you who aren’t [...]
