As I previously mentioned, the fam traveled to West Side Market, where we purchased multigrain bread and I made an awesome smoked cheddar grilled cheese. However, I didn’t tell you the complete story. I didn’t tell you about our cheese purchase: Le Merlemont from The Cheese Shop. That is the featured ingredient in this sandwich,… [ Read More ]
Thanks to the assistance and suggestions of the sous chef and new sous chef jr., I decided this week I would go out on a limb and try dairy-free cheese.

Yes, there has been a slight delay in writing about this sandwich (and the one after, a crushed tortilla and avocado sandwich). I do apologize but I have been busy finishing up my last few days as a webmaster and diving right into the food industry. Yesterday was my last day with a company and… [ Read More ]
Since I knew I would be using the Brie for this particular grilled cheese sandwich, I decided to go sweet. Vie GroupRecipes.com, I found a Brie and Grape grilled cheese recipe that was perfect. Ideas started popping out of my head including a grape and strawberry sandwich, but I decided to go with only grapes.… [ Read More ]
Let me start off by thanking @goldbedr and @allisonlemons for giving me great suggestions for tonight’s sandwich. Unfortunately, prior to seeing the ideas, I had already devised one of my own.
