Peppadew & Pimento Cheese Appetizer

Hello everybody!  Yes, it's me, your long lost friend.  I've been gone a while, like pretty much the whole month of July and I've missed y'all.  I really didn't mean to take that long of a break but sure have enjoyed it.  I've been doing some much needed projects around the house, the family has taken several road trips, and we've really loved our lazy summer days together.

We've been grilling out almost every night and have loved entertaining friends on the deck. A week ago I threw together an unexpected dinner party and needed a yummy appetizer, so, I headed to the grocery to see what I could find. I was inspired by these bright red peppadew peppers that I spied on the olive bar.  I filled a container with these beauties and headed home.  

The next thing I needed to do was get creative with the stuffing.  Actually, this was a no brainer when I opened my fridge and spotted a container of pimento cheese.  This is how everything came together ~

Take purchased peppadew peppers and turn them upside down on paper towels to drain for about 1 to 2 minutes.  Fill a zip lock bag with pimento cheese (I used homemade but there are lots of great brands in your local grocery store) cut the tip off corner of bag and gently fill each pepper.  

My guests LOVED my zesty treats and there was not a single one left when it came time for dinner. Friends, it's great to be back with ya'll and I have really missed all the fun of sharing our stories of food and family. I am so thankful for all the messages you sent me during my summer break and for your love of A Southern Soul.

It's time to get back in the game and I can't wait to see what the rest of this year has to offer...
