Roba Dolce thanks you ..and an easy super bowl recipe!

 Your flavor ideas were fantastic! Thank you all for participating. The “list” is now before the guys at Roba Dolce and I will announce a winner here shortly.  Also, to all those who participated in the blog button and review, your samples will be going out to you later this week -be on the lookout for a big white box with dry ice, be careful when unpackaging your gelato and sorbetto.  Let the product temper, meaning soften a bit before sampling.  Then let us know what you think, and if you post a review on your blog, send me a note so that we can make note of the review!   Roba Dolce would also love photos of you or family members enjoying the gelato/sorbetto – feel free to post them on their facebook page or send to me at karenthisoldhouse@hotmail.com and I can forward it.  We might ask you for permission to use that photo on our newly improved website, which is currently getting an overhaul – so you can be creative with that as well!  We want pictures of anyone from the very young to the very old –  There is now a store locater on the site that will tell you where you can find the gelato and sorbetto near you.

Now… for a great super bowl treat –

Pimento Cheese and Bacon Crostini

We had good friends over for game night on Sunday – Apples to Apples, Pictionary (girls won!) and PATRIOTS..who lost. These were an easy and really tasty appetizer I found on the Food & Wine site – a great edition to any super bowl celebration.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups finely shredded extra-sharp white cheddar cheese
2 1/2 cups finely shredded extra-sharp orange cheddar cheese
One 7-ounce jar pimientos, drained and finely chopped
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Cayenne pepper  ( I left this out)
40 slices baguette, toasted
4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions

1.In a big bowl, combine the white and orange cheddar cheeses. Add the chopped pimentos, mayonnaise, black pepper and garlic powder; blend at low speed with mixer. Season the pimento cheese with cayenne pepper to taste. (I didn’t)   Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

2.Preheat the oven to 400° Spread the pimento cheese on the toasts, top with the bacon and bake until the cheese is melted and browned, about 2 minutes. Serve.

Makes 3 cups or 40 crostini.

  1. Oh.that sounds like a great (and easy) recipe. We are always looking for quick ideas. Soooo…anyway…I guess the fish and cheese flavor idea was a no go?.) Hugs-Diana

  2. And we in turn, thank Roba Dolce! I can't wait for my package to arrive. I have a question. The site says the product is available at Dollar Tree and Walgreens. does that mean they are available in all of their stores? Now I could go get in the car and see for myself, but we're having thunderstorms today and I might melt in the rain, lol.

    Don't hate me, but I don't follow any sports. However, I do LOVE appetizers!

  3. Can't wait for the Roba Dolce and thanks so much! My only problem in taking photo's; my camera works fine but no longer works in uploading to computer. I'll find a way, though.

    That appetizer looks great!! 🙂

  4. We are still in shock today here in RI following that very sad game:) I don't think I will be needing any Superbowl recipes:)

    I can't get the Robe Dolce button to work on my blog…I keep getting a message that it can't accept that HTML….any ideas what I need to do?

  5. That was a great game! Of course my hubbins was rooting for the Jets (fantasyfootball don't cha know).

    I'll be trying that recipe. It looks awesome and I've been obsessed with making something similar to what Meryl Streep made for Alec Baldwin in "It's Complicated."
