An Unusual Culinary Column: Happy National Cheese Lover’s Day
By Karen Kain
 
January  20 th   was  National 
Cheese  Lover’s  Day!  I  happen  to  love 
cheese, so discovering that there was an 
actual day to celebrate it just puts a smile 
on my face. 
 
In reading “The 50 Best Cheese 
Recipes  From  the  50  Best  United 
States”  I  found  this  “Oregon’s  Best 
Marionberry Pie” recipe. This article has 
a  cheese  recipe  for  each  state  and  this 
was Oregon’s recipe, so I had to try it. I 
substituted blackberries that I had picked 
in Hells Canyon in lieu of marionberries 
for my pie. This was one delicious pie! 
I  never  would  of  dreamed  of  adding 
cream  cheese  to  a  pie,  but  this  totally 
works.  This  is  an  easy  recipe  to  make

and definitely a keeper.

To  keep  in  theme  with  Oregon 
cheese  recipes  I  have  included  this 
“Blueberry  Croissant  Pudding”  dish. 
I  had  to  make  it  twice  because  it  was 
eaten  so  quickly  I  did  not  get  a  picture 
of  the  first  batch.  This  was  another 
super easy dessert to make. You can put 
it  together  ahead  of  time  then  bake  the 
next day. This reminded me very much 
of an English bread pudding dessert that 
my  husband  loves.  The  recipe  calls  for 
crescent rolls (baked) but you could use 
any bread, another fabulous find.
 
Have  a  great  month  folks  and 
please keep me in the know on what you 
are cooking.
