WINE AND CHEESE

This sounds really good right now (take note that I'm writing this at 7 p.m. in the evening, not 6 a.m. in the morning like the post time says!).

Jarlsberg Cheese...yum!

Many of you know that I've been fortunate enough to work with Jarlsberg Cheese on several projects.  Their kindness stretched into supporting me attend Camp Blogaway a few weeks ago, so I just wanted to share one of the images I created for them again.

Say Cheese!

Thanks to everyone that suggested cheese ideas over the last month.  Here is the final print!  You can find it here.

Mozarella Cheese

You can't go wrong with mozzarella...especially on pizza.

String Cheese

My kids' favorite lunchtime snack.

White Cheddar Cheese

White cheddar is good on so many things, but simply on crackers is the best.

Creamy Havarti Cheese

Several of you suggested this cheese and I'm embarrassed to say I've never had it.  I have several cheeses I must add to my "try these" list now.

Cheese Curds

The person that requested these via Facebook challenged me to make them "cute".  Not sure if I accomplished that, but here is my attempt at some cute cheese curds.

Asiago Cheese

Low in fat and rich in protein, asiago cheese is a healthy snack. Geez, I'll take some of that.

American Cheese

This one reminds me of my brother, not only because he requested it, but because he loves sandwiches.  Somehow he manages to get everything in the fridge between two slices of bread.

Cheese Grater

I better pop some common cheese tools into the mix...like a grater.

Parmesan Cheese

The real deal is called parmigiano reggiano.  A friend on Facebook mentioned that the rinds are marked with the name of the maker, an official cheese stamp and the date of inspection. Whoa!

Pepper Jack Cheese

If you need a little spice in your life, this cheese is for you.

Fontina Cheese

I almost wrote that I've never tried this cheese, but then found out it is a popular fondue cheese used in the Alps.  I did experience fondue in the Alps about ten years ago, so I may have indeed tasted this lovely cheese. Hmmm...

Sharp Cheddar Cheese

This is the most popular cheese in our house.

By the way, if you have a great recipe that incorporates any of these cheeses, please link to it in the comments section.

The Irish Mother sent me this great recipe for cheddar cookies! Thanks Margaret!

A Cheese Gathering

Over the next couple of weeks I'll be highlighting your favorite types of cheese.I would love to hear about those you enjoy.  Please let me know in the comments below or on my Facebook page.  The final result will be a cheese print that includes the entire collection.

Let's start with a popular one...swiss cheese.

Wait, just one more thing...I've started creating graphic recipes.  They are something you might be interested in.  What are these?  Just take a peak here.

Swiss Cheese

...and the last illustration created for my cheese notecards.

X is for X-tra Cheesy Omelet

I know I'm stretching it here, but omelet had to be included on this list somewhere. What's an omelet without tons of gooey cheese?
