Gatherings. We are also very excited to announce that Miss Bonnie's is now available at Kroger in Nashville, and addtional

"Miss Bonnie's Tailgating/Party/Football
Snack Yummy Tray"
Below is a photo of different serving pairings we sampled at a recent 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!!!
"Miss Bonnie's Cheesey Dippped Cocktail Meatballs"
Swedish,
Italian, Homemade or Store Bought, Meatballs are always a party or get together favorite. The Meatballs in this photo
are Store Brand Swedish Style. These
are great party meatballs, and can be heated in the oven or microwave. Need a Fondue Cheese? Miss Bonnie's Gourmet
Cheese Spreads evolve into another realm of yummy when melted in a Fondue Pot or Warming Dish. I used small butter warmers
here. I melted the Pimento, Jalapeño, or Miss Bonnie's Classic Cheddar Spread in the microwave first. Once
melted, fill your fondue pot or warming dish to maintain consistency for dipping. Alternate Method:
Warm your Cocktail Meatballs in the microwave, then melt your Miss Bonnie's Cheese in the microwave (stiring occasionally
while it melts), then combine the warm meatballs and warm cheese together in a crock pot or slow cooker to keep warm.
We have served "Miss Bonnie's Cheesey Dipped Meatballs"
at many product demonstrations. So many shoppers always ask where the to find the Meatballs,
we loose count.
"Lite-Fresh Veggies &
Miss Bonnie's"
Now that warmer weather has arrived for most of us, many
are thinking Lite. I love watching the expressions on people's faces, and how positive they react when they taste Miss
Bonnie's on Fruits & Veggies. Let me tell you, Miss Bonnie's on a slice of English Cucumber is about as Lite and
Fresh (not to mention refreshing) as it gets. You have to try a Miss Bonnie's Lite and Fresh Veggie Tray for your New
Years parties & gatherings. I used Miss Bonnie's New Classic Cheddar for this shot. It didn't last long after we
finished taking this photo. Sliced Cucumbers, Carrot Chips, Celery, and the list goes on....Enjoy!
Miss Bonnie's Gourmet New Classic
Cheddar Cheese Spread Is A Blend Of White and Yellow Aged Cheddars With Miss Bonnie's Signature Rich Bold Flavor, and Home
Style Texture...."Yum Yum"
Bell Peppers
• Celery • Carrot Strips
"Fruit Pairings With
Miss Bonnie's"
I introduced Miss Bonnie's to the attendees at the
First Annual Virginia Wine Expo in February 2008. We set up a tray with sliced apples. We had no idea what a huge
hit Miss Bonnie's with fruit would be. Europeans have been eating fruit with cheese forever. In this photo
I sprinkled a little cinnamon and sugar on the apples.
• Sliced Apples • Sliced Pears • Kiwi & Mango • Peaches • Pineapple
* For a Spicy Kick
to fill that empty spot between meals, by all means try my Jalapeño Spread with Fruit. You will be pleasantly
surprised. Wonderful with wine.
Olive Bar Party Tray
Putting together
a Party Tray using Miss Bonnie's is like Christmas morning. What do I do next? So many choices, plenty of time.
I used baguettes in this photo. Toasted (Toaster Oven) Miss Bonnie's Cheese baguettes are a Double Yum Yum. Crackers
are always yummy and easy. When I shop for Party Tray goodies, its like stocking stuffer shopping. Check the cheese
island in the Giant, Kroger, and Martin's deli where you'll find Miss Bonnie's Cheese. There are lots of prepackaged
ready to eat meats and summer sausage perfect for slicing. Don't forget the Olive Bar in the Giant, Kroger, and Martin's
deli. The bowl in the photo is filled with salad peppers, sun dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, marinated mushrooms,
and green and black marinated olives. All from the Olive Bar.
All I can say about crafting Appetizer's with Miss Bonnie's
Cheese Spreads is, let your imagination go wild. Miss Bonnie's Stuffed Mushroom have become a big hit with many of you
on our Update List. I am including Chef John's recipe for new visitors to my web site. This one is fast and easy
to prepare. Wonderful anytime, but especially sensational if your having friends or family over.
Miss Bonnie's Stuffed Mushrooms
Recipe: 1. Remove the stems from
the fresh mushrooms.
2. Bring
a pot of water to a boil.
3. Boil
the mushroom caps for about 4 to 5 minutes for medium and large caps.
4. Drain in collander and rinse with cold water to stop them from cooking.
5. Dry your mushroom caps on a paper towel
6. Soften (just melted) some Miss Bonnie's (we like the Jalapeño for this one) in a glass bowl
in the microwave. The Pimento & Classic Cheddar are also yummy. What the heck..Try all 3 flavors..
7. Fill the caps with the the melted cheese (see attached photo)
8. Sprinkle each cap with seasoned bread crumbs (be liberal to make them crunchy on top)
9. Bake in oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes until brown on top
10. Enjoy !
This really is an easy recipe that only takes
about 10 minutes before baking once your water boils. If you like mushrooms, your gonna love them baked with Miss Bonnie's.
We also tried this....Brown some crumbled sausage or ground meat of choice (season
as you like) and fill the caps half way with the sausage, and top off with Miss Bonnie's. Takes a little longer, but
worth the extra time.
Wraps
There are so many fun, delicious, and easy recipes using
Miss Bonnie's with your Wrap creations. Meat lovers and veggie lovers rejoice. Miss Bonnie's adds a bold creamy
flavor to your wraps. Easy and fast are the operative words in preparing Wraps. For this photo I used a Multi-Grain
Tortilla Wrap, and a Garden Spinach & Vegetable Tortilla Wrap. The filling for this was so easy. Pastrami
(Your Favorite Brand), Miss Bonnie's Pimento Cheese, Romain
Lettuce, and Shredded Carrots. Roll it up tight, slice to preferred length, then add a Bowl of salsa and some
tortilla chips....Note the salsa in the bowl. This is Fresh Salsa which
you can find in the produce section in most stores. You can actually drain the liquid from the salsa and add a little
salsa to your wrap. So delicious, and so much fun putting Wraps together. Children are usually crazy about Miss
Bonnie's Cheese and Wraps. They also love to be involved in preparing their Miss Bonnie's Wraps. For those that
have never made a Wrap....Some suggestions....
