Tasty Tuesday-Pimiento Cheese Canapes
A very happy Tasty Tuesday to you! Each Friday a teacher at school makes breakfast for everyone. This past Friday I ate the most delish pimiento cheese I have ever tasted. Not only is it delish, but the recipe is from Cooking Light! It is perfect if you need to whip up a quick appetizer to take to a party. Enjoy!
