Isn't that a pretty picture?  I love blogs with pretty pictures.  I enjoy looking at them and don't mind scrolling for five minutes looking at said pretty pictures while they walk me step by step through a recipe.  BUT.  When it comes time to recreate the recipe myself I just want to cut to the chase.  That's what this post is.  It's just this recipe.  I do, however, strongly suggest you go check out the source of this recipe and the pretty picture.  These girls worked hard to make a lovely post.  You should see it.  Now, I'm off to make queso.
