"Behold, The Power Of Cheese!"


Ok, so having a glitzy title doesn't make a grilled cheese sandwich stand out. With paninis and other sandwiches that people throw in a pan or on the grill, where is a place for the beloved children's classic? Apparently, there is a place for it in controversy.

When we were younger, it was Kraft singles and white bread. Didn't matter what kind. the only difference was some people wanted the crust off and others didn't care.

Now that we are older, it seems as though the Kraft singles don't do it for us anymore. Now we find all sorts of cheeses and try to better a classic by putting a new spin on it.

One of my favorites is buttered sourdough bread, honey Dijon mustard, grilled onions and provolone cheese. Two slices should do the trick. Combine with chicken noodle soup and I'm a happy camper.

Another one is buttered regular white bread with Havarti cheese, add pepper and pico de gallo on the side or tomato soup.

Who has the best grilled cheese sandwich? The world may never know. What is your favorite?

Grilled cheese, please!

I like the regular good ole' happy waitress: Grilled cheese, tomatoe and bacon. Oh wheat though -- it just tastes better like that.

I like grilled cheese on rye read with sauteed onions.

it is August and the 'homegrown tomato' is the BEST; sliced thin and placed on top of cheddar, brie or swiss on a slice of whole grain bread; slide under broiler...YUM!
