I have only created one Thanksgiving grilled cheese sandwich in the three plus years of this blog. I wanted to change that this year. After my 2009 creation, Pumpkin Pie Grilled Cheese, I had a lot to live up to. I had to make this sandwich bigger and better. I had to think far outside the… [ Read More ]
I was not planning on cooking a sandwich this week as I have a big quiz on Wednesday and needed to study. However, on Saturday at Whole Foods, I noticed that they had a three year aged Gouda on sale for $9.99 lb, originally $16.99 ea. I couldn’t resist. I haven’t used Gouda much, so I… [ Read More ]
Recently, I have felt like my sandwiches have been missing something. They have not been as creative or unique as they could be. With this sandwich, I tried to turn the tide, even if it doesn’t appear to be that elaborate. As is the case lately, I was standing in Whole Foods when I saw… [ Read More ]
I have not posted a grilled cheese sandwich recipe/entry since August 29, 2010. That adds up to over two months of non-grilled cheese photographing and writing. Amazing, isn’t it?

However, variations do include cheese, such as the one I created. At the very basic, a grilled… [ Read More ]

In a tribute to Valentine’s Day, I had to create a grilled cheese sandwich with strawberries, a main ingredient of the holiday. Last year, I went with a strawberry/mango grilled cheese, so this year I had to switch it up just a bit. I kept with the strawberry theme and instead of mangoes went with… [ Read More ]
Since this creation was concocted last minute, I referenced my Great Grilled Cheese book, authored by Laura Werlin, who appears in the above video, for the recipe.
