the modern grilled cheese

When there’s a chill in the air, we head to the kitchen to whip up something comforting and toasty to help keep us warm. What could be better than a grilled cheese sandwich?

For years . . . the traditional grilled cheese sandwich has been a simple, tasty treat. These days however, with the popularity of cooking shows and celebrity chefs, it has undergone a gourmet makeover! No longer limited to American or cheddar cheese melted on white bread . . . the modern grilled cheese features artisanal cheeses, fresh breads, specialty spreads and preserves, and fresh fruits and produce. While I welcome these refinements, some things must not change……

the cheese has to be ooey, gooey and the sandwich has to be eaten with a bowl of creamy tomato soup!

Absolutely, bar none, one of my very favorite things to eat, especially when it’s done just right. TOTALLY agree with you about the tomato soup. A requisite. (And BTW, are you wearing super cute jeans now???? *lucky*)
