Pimento Cheese and Cornbread Quiche is a Southern inspired quiche is filled with chunks of homemade cornbread and pimento cheese spread.

I haven’t felt like writing lately because I am just so sad for our nation.

This week has been an exhausting news cycle of hate.

Today just capped it off with the tragic shootings in Pittsburg.

Even sadder is when these horrible things happen we no longer think it’s some foreign enemy but an opposing political party hiring people to kill or intimidate.

What have we become?

When life is overwhelming like our society has become I like to just sit mindlessly watch a little Netflix.

My husband and I started watching Mind of a Chef.

One of the featured chefs is Sean Brock.

He is a southern chef who I have a food crush on.

Since he cooks all things southern and has a hat that says “Make Cornbread, Not War” I got inspire to make a quiche that was representative of some of my southern favorites.

Cornbread.

Pimento Cheese.

This was one of those dishes that was either going to be epically good or epically bad.

Happy to say that it is epically good.

If you love some cornbread and pimento cheese this one’s for you.

As an end note…please practice kindness everyone…we really need it these days.

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
