When I have one foot holding onto summer and the other reaching for fall, I turn to roasted red peppers as a satisfying dish. This marinated roasted peppers dish is a perfect example of one of my favorites, as it brings in so many flavors of late summer and early fall. Best of all, it gets party dish bonus points, since it should be made at least a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld. To be honest, here in the mountains we're firmly planted in autumn and seem to be reaching for winter. So ...

Easy Southern Pimento Cheese | #ProgressiveEats
Southern Cooking My mom was a southern girl, my dad too. They married the day after her college graduation, and she came to the marriage knowing absolutely zero about cooking.
