Cook and Tell: Grilled Cheese Sandwich

16 Mar

These days it seems that grilled cheese sandwiches are dominating the food scene. They seems to be everywhere. Just last night on the premiere of “America’s Next Great Restaurant”, the winner of the first challenge was a grilled cheese sandwich restaurant concept (Meltworks). The other day I read an article on Slashfood.com regarding a grilled cheese and wine pairing seminar hosted by the author of two books about grilled cheese sandwiches. Yes, you read it correctly, two books about grilled cheese sandwiches.

I can’t say that I blame those that became so addicted to the grilled cheese sandwich. The thought of the warm crispy bread with the gooey cheese on the inside, makes me feel all warm inside. All this talk about grilled cheese sandwiches inspired me to make my own. I whipped up a melt-in-your-mouth grilled cheese sandwich with pepper roasted turkey and tomatoes. Some would call it a regular sandwich, but it’s a grilled cheese to me. It’s grilled, and it has two slices of cheese, as opposed to one, that would go in my regular sandwich.

Tasty Eggplant Spread on European Style Whole Grain Bread

21 Feb

It’s a gray, rainy Sunday afternoon. So I decided to go out to pick up some tasty treats at the local Trader Joes. I was on the hunt for the European Style Whole Grain Bread, which luckily I was able to find. But I was also very pleasantly surprised at the discovery of the Eggplant and Garlic spread. Of course I couldn’t wait to get home to taste my new treats.

After getting home, I put a slice of the whole grain bread in the toaster oven and once it was toasted I spread the eggplant spread on it. This snack was just as tasty as I had hoped.

I know, I know, there was no actual cooking involved. But it took 5 minutes to have a heavenly snack.

I highly recommend!
