New Job!

I am really excited to announce that I am now working at Tri Delta at NC State! I am cooking their dinners M-Th and then lunch on Fridays.  Heidi is the chef.  She does breakfasts and lunches M-Th, plus all the ordering, meal planning, etc.  I am really looking forward to cooking all year round.  I will do this job during the school year and then head back to the Mudcats when that ends.  Yay me!

Baked Cheese Olives

Dinner Club again.  I made oven fries, which were well - received but nothing special.  Big  hit of the night was from Cathy & Rich: baked cheese olives! They were awesome.

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 24 pimento-stuffed green olives

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine cheese and butter or margarine. Stir flour and cayenne pepper into the cheese and butter mixture. Blend well. Wrap a tablespoon of dough around each green olive. Arrange the wrapped olives on a cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
