Sartori's BellaVitano Cheese

My idea of heaven would be to have unlimited access to this Satori's BellaVitano cheese, and be able to eat as much of it as I wanted without gaining a single pound.  :)

This cheese is really that GOOD...

BellaVitano combines the rich and creamy flavor of Cheddar cheese with the savory, crystal like crunch of an aged Parmesan.

BellaVitano is amazing just by itself, but then Sartori adds in flavors like merlot, balsamic, expresso and chai which just puts it over the top!

I typically buy the Balsamic BellaVitano, but today I saw a few new flavors at my local Harris Teeter. 

Chai and Merlot!!!





The Chai has this amazing spice after taste and the merlot has a nice berry and plum finish.

I made the cheese a legit meal by adding some dried fruits, nuts and crunchy French bread.  Then later I made a scrumptious arugula salad with slices of the BellaVitano Merlot and fresh tomatoes with a lemon vinaigrette. 

Be careful- this stuff is seriously addicting!!

The website has several other fabulous flavors.... and I plan on trying on them all..

McCormick Smoked Paprika Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs with a kick...

Sooo one of my new obsessions...


I literally have been using it in everything the past few weeks... it adds a smoky yet sweet flavor...

For football today.. my Fiance had one request... deviled eggs.... worked out perfectly- gave me another reason to use my favorite new spice.


McCormick Smoked Paprika Deviled Eggs:

This recipe is quite easy.... just take a standard deviled egg recipe.. when I say standard I literally mean only mayo and yellow mustard- none of that relish nonsense..

For a dozen eggs.. prepare as you normally would... adding the mayo and mustard to the yolks....but now you are going to add the following:

1 teaspoon Sriracha Sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard- I prefer Grey Poupon
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Smoked Paprika

After you have combined thoroughly, place the mixture back into the egg white shells.

I usually finish it off with a dollop of  Sriracha OR a sprinkle of the paprika. 


 



Eggs were a hit with my Fiance.. he liked the fact that they had a 'bacon' flavor to them! 

Who would have thought- deviled eggs and Sunday football!!  Bringing these to my next party for sure!

Enjoy!
