“April is Grilled Cheese Month” #12: Just Cheese Grilled Cheese

“April is Grilled Cheese Month” #11: Beemster Mustard and Bacon Grilled Cheese
We love Beemster Goudas and chose their Mustard Gouda for today’s Grilled Cheese. This semi-soft cheese is rich and creamy with whole mustard seeds adding to the taste sensation and not overwhelming.

“April is Grilled Cheese Month” #8: The Man’s Roast Beef and Horseradish Cheddar Grilled Cheese
Way back in the day before I joined and brought my elan to the family, The Lady discovered that The Man was a real “meat and potatoes” kind-of-a-guy. He claimed to not like chicken or fish; preferring beef to all other proteins… The Lady worked diligently the last 30+ years to change this mindset with...
