Grilled Cheese All Grown-Up

Who doesn’t love grilled cheese?  Seems to be the trend in various cooking publications as well.  Below I’ve listed 3 suggestions but check out these sites to give you even more inspiration… grilled cheese...

Giddy-Up Burgers

A little twist on your average beef burger.  Grilled onion intensifies it’s flavor.  No cheese necessary.   Serve with coleslaw, chips and garlic pickles.

Oven-Baked Tortilla Chips

“Homemade” oven-baked tortilla chips are healthier, less salty and less oily than store-bought bagfuls. theKitchn posted this quick-to-make recipe and I felt I should pass it on. I know I’m not alone in my love of the corn chip.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Sweet, and slightly tangy.  Very easy to make.

Swedish Meatballs

I think I found THE Swedish Meatball. This recipe makes enough for around 6 to 8 servings, but double-up to serve a crowd. Perfect throw-back cocktail food.

A Winter’s Brunch

Need a menu for a tasty brunch?  Check out these recipes... sure to satisfy anyone.  Add a pitcher of freshly squeezed grapefruit or orange juice and plenty of coffee with all of the fixins'!

Curried Chicken Salad

A chicken salad full of texture and seasoning.  Indian curry is the main ingredient.  Not too spicy but distinct in flavor.

Broccoli & Cauliflower w/Lemony, Chive, Mustard Butter

This recipe may just get your kids to actually down their broccoli and cauliflower (husbands too!).  Maybe… just maybe… they’ll ask for seconds!!

Homemade Chai

Sometimes we have to just sit back and take a breather.  This version of Indian-inspired chai tea is just what the doctor ordered.  Making a homemade batch of your own may also lift your spirits.  Both soothing and savory.

3-Layer Peppermint Bark

Yes, yes… you can purchase peppermint bark around the holidays at many places. But in all seriousness, I’ve been told that this recipe takes top prize. It’s worth the little effort it takes… never fails and brings cheer to...
