Cheddar & Pepper

This is a delicious, fresh, easy appetizer to make any time of year, but particularly for a summer bbq or when you return from a day at the beach. A summer favorite of my family & friends we've had this three times in the past two weeks, the most recent being yesterday.

After scooping up every last morsel, I asked my mom, "Where did this come from?" And she told me it was my Aunt Louise's recipe. I was shocked. I didn't know my Aunt Louise could cook, let alone come up with a delicious recipe like this one. My Aunt Louise (actually my great aunt) was a character & never in my wildest imagination did my thoughts of her involve cooking. She was a drinking, swearing, cigarette smoking card player who stole our pennies at poker & our candy at Halloween.

We sure did love her though. She was wild & a great partner for my grandmother. My brother and I were always thrilled to be picked up for an evening with the two ladies or babysat by them while my parents went out, because after all, according to my grandmother & Aunt Louise, my dad was simply an old fart.

So thanks for the memories & now, the delicious recipe too Aunt Louise!

Two Green Bell Peppers
One Block of Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Mayonaise

Dice the peppers into small cubes & shred the cheese. Combine in a bowl with enough mayo to hold. Serve with triscuits & watch it be devoured :)!
