Cheese. Mmm. There is nothing better than a grilled cheese sandwich as fall comes around. A cup of hot tomato soup, a grilled cheese sandwich, a movie and blankets are my ideas of a great evening with the wife and kids.
With this month being American cheese month, it’s the perfect time to show everyone the tasty treats I love when it becomes cooler. Tomato soup is good, but the grilled cheese sandwich is the icing on the cake! We have an old family recipe we use in our house that has been passed down from generation to generation. It uses a generous amount of butter and high quality American cheese. The rest I will let you think about because my family’s secret is safe with me!
Did you know it takes around 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese? But guess what? The same nine essential nutrients which are in the milk are in the cheese. This means the cheese on your grilled cheese is extremely nutritious for you and your kids.
Here are some links to help you create your own family recipe. Whatever you do, make sure you keep eating some tasty cheese with a side of tomato soup!
