I’ve been working for a few months on a new cheese recipe I’m really excited about. I’ve also been working on recipes that use the cheese recipe- like a chili cheese dip that is reminiscent of the horribly unhealthy version my husband and I would make on movie night when we were first married. We’d combine a can of Hormel chili with a block of Velveeta cheese and a chopped onion, and bake...
