Do you ever feel like you’re in a rut?
But when you’re in said rut, there are also usually a bazillion and one things you need to accomplish and cross off your to-do list. It feels paralyzing. Like standing at a busy intersection, watching cars and buses zoom past, honking their horns, changing lanes, and all you do is stand on the corner and wait. You wait for the little green man to appear, signaling it’s time to cross the asphalt road. But he’s a no-show.
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been in a rut. Mentally, that is. I feel as though life is speeding by me, yet, I can’t seem to take a single step forward. I have all of these creative ideas that I want to contribute to the world, but in my mind I have no time, not even a single second to make them come to fruition. Do you ever feel this way? Maybe my mental rut is caused by the transition from winter to summer (spring was a no-show in Denver this year. So not cool)? I put summer on a pedestal making it a time where I can accomplish the impossible. Long summer days = being more productive, and thus a shorter list.
Well, what I fail to remind my myself each year is that my expectations are too high. My list that I thought I could wrap my arms around just became the length of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Thus, my mental rut. Even though I didn’t listen to my own advice (again), I have to get out of this rut! Hence the need to do a little jay-walking.
Two things that could break a girl free from a mental rut are, cheese and bacon. Can I get a Amen? I always revert back to simple, gooey cheesy melts. There’s something about spicy cheese melted on buttery toasts topped with crispy bacon that gets my creative juices flying like the monkeys in the Wizard of OZ.
So, if you’re in a rut and have five minutes, make these melts, and dodge a little traffic. It’s good for the soul.
Wrap up your speedy delight with the irresistible flavors of five-minute pimento cheese melts and crispy bacon. Quick, easy, and undeniably tasty—a delightful treat for your taste buds.
These look insanely dangerous and addicting. Yum!
Thanks, Rachel! It’s a new favorite in our household:)
oh for heavens sake!!! These look crazy delicious and I love the photos!
Thanks, Carrian! I’ll try and bring some to BlogHer! xoxo
AMEN!!! Simple can be the best sometimes (and I totally know what you mean about the dead sea scrolls-length list). These sound like the perfect way to take a break and remember that things don’t have to be complicated to be delicious.
Agreed! You are the best! Have a great Monday:)
Crazy good looking Lauren!! I love these!
Thanks, Tieghan! Hopefully it will quit snowing up there! Go home winter!
Be still my beating heart! Those look absolutely delicious!
Thanks, Leah! They were super delish. Definitely going to be a staple in our household for easy go-tos.
I’m in the same mental rut as you, my friend. Let’s be in a rut together with a plate of your pimento cheese sandwiches. Cheese and bacon really does solve all! 🙂
Right?!! I am so in. I’ll bring some bubbly too. This rut is going to hit the road!
I totally agree… cheese and bacon are the cure {for everything} well those two and chocolate 🙂
I completely forgot about chocolate! I like where your head is at Laurie:)
I so empathize with you in that rut. Good thing we have things like cheese and bacon to help us out in the meantime, though! YUMNESS.
Phew. I am glad I’m not the only one. I need a vacation that includes lots of cheese and bacon. Amen.
These are calling out to me!
Hold the phone! I’ll send some right over!
This made me so hungry! Love the melted crispy cheese drips!
Thanks, Anna! You can’t beat melted cheese!
Oh I know that feeling. You’re so right – cheese and bacon is the only way to get through it.
Agreed! I could also add wine and chocolate to the rut -fix tool kit!
Cheese and bacon are the way to my heart. These look scrumptious.
Thanks, Carrie! I miss your face!
Holy cow!!!
Ha! I heart you, Claire!

Thank you, Meredith! You can never go wrong with cheese and bacon!
Oooooh yes, I totally feel your rut! I still feel like I’m coming out of mine! These melts though…holy cow, I love it!
Being in a rut stinks! Thank goodness for cheese and bacon!
Oh man… this looks like the perfect appetizer to serve up on a whim if you have all the ingredients in hand!
I totally get the rut. I felt like that in the earlier part of the year.
I’ve been craving pimento cheese lately, I’ve never made it at home! These look fantastic!
Are you kidding?? These are awesome.
Thanks, Lori! Cheese and bacon make everything better!
Made these for a dinner party!!! They were delicious. I used the Palmetto cheese with jalapeños…yummmm
