Cheese Fondue

This is the greatest recipe in the world and I could eat a whole pot by myself! It is almost exactly like the cheddar fondue at Forever Fondue in La Jolla for those of you who are familiar with it. Give it a try and enjoy!!


3 c Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 c Swiss cheese, shredded
1/4 c All purpose flour
1 1/4 c Beer or dry white wine. I like to use beer.
3/4 ts Salt
Garlic to taste - you can also use garlic powder. I like ALOT
A few dashes of worcestershire and mustard powder
Crusty French bread cubes
Combine cheddar and Swiss cheeses in a bowl. (The original recipe calls for 2 cups of each cheese but I prefer more cheddar than swiss)
Sprinkle with flour; toss lightly to coat.
Heat wine, or beer, in a medium saucepan until
simmering but not boiling; reduce heat to maintain
temperature. Gradually add the cheese mixture, by
small handfuls, stirring constantly after each
addition until cheese melts (mixture will appear
curdled at first but smooths out as more of the cheese
mixture is added).
Stir in salt and garlic, worcestershire and mustard powder. Transfer to a fondue
pot and keep warm. Serve with bread cubes for dipping.
Makes about 2 3/4c

Thanks for the recipe - I'm gonna try it. I had a fondue night on New Year's Eve with Carly and Clay and we just did oil fondue with all types of meat and seafood. Originally we were planning on having two fondue pots going but we ended up with just the one. But before that I was looking for a good cheese on to try and now I have one. I'll definitely try it out soon!

Pulled pork sandwiches

I got this idea from my friend, Jennifer. I made them last night and they were oh so yummy. My mom makes these occasionally with a beef roast. Just as good. Take a pork tenderloin and toss it in a crock pot. Let it simmer all day so that it is really tender. You can put BBQ sauce on it all day or add later. I did a little of both. About 1 hour before you serve, take the meat out and shred it with a fork. I drained the juices because it was very watery. Put the meat back in the crock pot and pour BBQ sauce over top. Serve on rolls. Mmmm.... Jennifer insists that you use "Sweet Baby Ray's" BBQ sauce. It was yummy.
