We’ve talked about doing a post on each others’ sites for a couple of years, but have never actually acted on it until now. (Here’s my guest post on Cynthia’s site for Ipswich Almond Pudding.) We get along so well because we have a lot in common. In addition to our similar viewpoints on food and cooking, we love to travel.
Read about our latest trip to Italy!
Cynthia used to live in London,and knows a lot about British food and culture, so much so, that I sometimes forget that she’s actually from the US! Where we differ is that I’ve never gone to cooking school, but Cynthia is classically trained in French cooking.
Love cheese dips? Try this goat cheese fondue which is made with just 2 ingredients!

Without further ado, I’ll pass you over to Cynthia and her recipe for this lovely Trader Joe’s copycat blue cheese roasted pecan dip.
From Cynthia at What a Girl Eats~
Christina and I are real life friends and live just 15 miles away from each other in sunny Southern California. We both share a similar philosophy about food. It doesn’t have to be complicated and fussy to taste good. We also believe in using real food, without processed ingredients.
Christina and I also share a love of Trader Joe’s, which is pretty much the Holy Grail of stores in California. Originally started here in my hometown of Pasadena in the 60’s, Trader Joe’s has now expanded across the country, and is now in many major cities throughout the US. I love picking up something delicious there, mostly because I know it won’t be laden with processed ingredients and chemicals.
One of my family’s favorite dips is their Blue Cheese Roasted Pecan Dip. I’ve been making a ‘copycat’ version for a few years. Blue cheese and his Italian, French and British cousins, Gorgonzola, Bleu and Stilton are my husband’s favorite cheeses, so I always have some form of blue cheese on hand for him. We use this dip to spread on sandwiches, for nibbling with crackers or with fresh veggies. It’s great on warm bread too. I hope you enjoy this Blue Cheese Roasted Pecan Dip!
