Best New Year Quotes

  • I am looking at your Parisian, well you are familiar with a Croque Monsieur (sauteed ham and cheese sandwich with dijon mustard), or even better the Croque Madam ( a Croque Monsieur topped with an egg and beschemel).

    These would be far more suited and tasty choices when attributing grilled sandwich fare to french locals.

  • The Italian grilled cheese sandwich sounds yummy. I think I might try it. It might taste good with diced tomatoes instead of roasted peppers, too.

    • @Kristy who ever said these were low fat recipes? I will say these are a whole lot better than the vast majority of fast foods and processed foods. So, is this something you want everyday? No. Is it a much healthier treat than ANY fast foods or processed foods that are in most people’s freezers? Yes!

  • Are you familiar with salt-risen bread? It’s kind of like sourdough but denser and more tangy (at one point the starter smells like barf, but it’s worth the ordeal). Salt-risen bread absolutely makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever. Try it once and you won’t go back to any other kind.
