I bet you saw the title and thought, what? It’s a crazy combination, but a delicious little savory treat. Tangy blue cheese, crunchy hazelnuts, woodsy sage and a touch of sweetness from golden raisins with a little hit of wine make for a layered, complex loaf. It’s perfect with soup or stew, slathered with good butter for a snack, or served with cheese as an appetizer. Really, … [Read more...] about Blue Cheese, Hazelnut and Wine Bread

But apparently not. These were admittedly a bit of a throw together emergency appetizer, but that first time I served them they were raved over and absolutely … [Read more...] about Pimento Cheese Pinwheels
