• 3 NEW YUMMY Serving Tips & And My Surprise Invitation To The Virginia Executive Mansion •
 

"Miss Bonnie's Ultimate Mac & Cheese"
 
Over the last 4 years a number of people have told me "I bet Miss Bonnie's Cheese makes a mean Mac & Cheese."  They are right, it does.  I have finally written down the recipe so we can post for everyone to enjoy.  We like our Mac & Cheese with diced tomatoes.  I always enjoy watching someone take their first taste of my Mac & Cheese with tomatoes.  Most are pleasantly surprised how the tomatoes add to the "Wow Factor" of my Miss Bonnie's Mac & Cheese recipe.  For those that don't like tomatoes, simply leave out or make half with and half without...ENJOY!!!  It's YUMMY!!!

"Miss Bonnie's Tailgating/Party/Football Snack Yummy Tray"
 
 
We recently attended a Giant Food Holiday Show in Burtonsville MD.  This Show was attended by all Giant Food store and assistant store managers.  We had the opportunity to introduce Miss Bonnie's Gourmet Cheese Spreads to Giant store managers before they received their first delivery of Miss Bonnie's.  The response was overwhelmingly positve, with many coming back 3 and 4 times for "Just One More Taste" :-). 
 
Below is a photo of different serving pairings we sampled at the Giant Food Show.  The Deli Wraps & Stuffed Peppadews were a Big Big Hit!  So get out your grocery list.  I have used corn beef (pictured here), pastrami, roast beef, various types of ham, and smoked turkey for the Deli Wraps.  The Stuffed Peppadews are always a favorite at tasting events.  Veggies • Sliced Baguettes • Crackers... Be Creative with your Miss Bonnie's Tailgating/Party/Watching Football Yummy Snack Trays. 
 
Here's how I do the Deli Wraps:
 
1•Spread Miss Bonnie's Cheese Down The Center Of A Slice Of Deli
2•Roll Up Tight Pushing Any Cheese Back Into Ends
3•Position Round Toothpicks So Slices Will Give You about a 1 inch Bite Size Piece
4•Slice With A Sharp Knife 
 
Tailgate/Party/Snack Like A Pro With Miss Bonnie's Deli Wraps
 
Peppadews are spicy (not hot) bite size peppers that are available at most Giant, Kroger, and Martin's Olive Bars in the deli.  Stuffed with Miss Bonnie's, they are Double Yummy!!!

•No Time For A Big Breakfast Healthy Fast Breakfast•
 
Like many, we don't eat a big breakfast during the week at my house.  Here is one of our favorite on the run healthy & fast breakfast serving tips.  My husband really enjoys his Miss Bonnie's Classice Cheddar Cheese on a Rice Cake always with a banana (not pictured here) & other mixed fresh fruit. If you have time to wait for the toaster oven, Miss Bonnie's Toasted English Muffin or Whole Wheat Bread is another Yummy healthy fast & easy breakfast with fresh fruit.  In this photo simply spread Miss Bonnie's on a Rice Cake or Mini Rice Cakes (We use the low sodium store brand Rice Cakes), and put in microwave for 7 to 10 seconds until cheese just starts to melt.  Add some Fresh Fruit, and your out the door in the morning.  These microwaved warm Rice Cakes with melted Miss Bonnie's & Fresh Fruit are so easy, Really YUMMY, and a healthy way to start your day.

~A Surprise Invitation~
 
An Evening At The Virginia Executive Mansion...
 
 I received a call from Sarah Scarbrough, Director of The Executive Mansion that the "Choosing The Commonwealth" Executive Chef's web site had been posted.  Sarah went on to say that two of the first three recipes posted by Executive Chef Todd Schneider included Miss Bonnie's Cheese Spreads.  Naturally, I was thrilled.  Sarah then told me I was invited to attend a reception at the Mansion on Thursday October 14th.  Here are a few of the photos from the reception.  Of course the food was prepared by Chef Todd, and it was fabulous!  Chef Todd told me he had three additional recipes using Miss Bonnie's Chesse Spreads he would be posting.  I had a wonderful time visiting with Chef Todd, Sarah, Governor Bob McDonnell, and Virginia's First Lady, Maureen McDonnell.

Executive Mansion Chef Todd Schneider...
 
Over the last four years since launching Miss Bonnie's Gourmet Cheese Spreads, I have heard from numerous chefs telling me they use my cheese as an ingredient.  In fact, Miss Bonnie's Cheese Spreads were included as a required ingredient at the 2009 Virginia Wine Expo Chef Cook Off demonstrations at the Richmond Convention Center.  Executive Chef Todd Schneider is not only a GREAT!!! Chef, but one realizes as soon as you meet him how much he enjoys what he does.  In addition to being the Executive Chef at the Virginia Governor's Masion, he is the Proprietor & Chef of Great Seasons Restaurant & Fine Catering located in The Shops At Bellgrade in Midlothian, VA.  If you ever have a chance to dine at Great Seasons, I highly recommend it. Great Seasons Executive Chef's Todd Schneider and Phil Minor never fail to impress those that dine with them.
