I love pimiento cheese but have been avoiding it because of the fat and calories. But here is a recipe I can really LOVE. The recipes on ALLRECIPES.com list calories from 221 with 20g fat to 362 with 31 g fat. Try this one and let me know. It's a southern thing!!!

1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1 cup 2% shredded sharp cheddar
2 (4 oz) jars of diced pimiento

Blend the cottage cheese in food processor with knife blade until smooth. Pulse in the cheese and pimiento. Store in refrigerator.

This makes 2 1/2 cups -serving size of 1/4 cup equals 55 calories. about 1 g of fat

    Mmm! This sounds like a great replacement for the "real thing." And yeah, it sure is a Southern thing! Sandwiches of pimento cheese on Wonder bread are a fixture at every one of my family gatherings!
