I can see your faces, you are thinking, “Boy the Butcher’s Wife is taking it easy today”.  You are partially right.  I am going to spend the day withMauri-1 my mom so I am doing an easy blog.  Somehow, if you get mom and apple pie into the blog it piques the interest.  Another reason is that I made the Butcher a grilled cheese sandwich yesterday.  He had no idea how to make a grilled cheese sandwich.  I thought if he didn’t know there were probably others in the same boat.  You can always direct this blog to your kids.  Have a great day.  I know I am going to–mom I’ll be leaving shortly!

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

2 slices of thick sliced bread of your choice (I used multi-grain)
2 slices of sliced cheese about 1/8 of an inch thick (I used Swiss Cheese)
2 to 3 Tablespoons of butter
non stick skilletToasted cheese

Put the skillet on a medium burner and heat. Put 5 butter pats on one slice of bread. When the skillet is heated place the bread, butter side down, in the skillet. Layer the cheese on top of the bread. Place the other slice of bread on top of the cheese. Place 5 butter pats on the top slice of bread. Allow bread to toast for about 2 to 3 minutes. You want it to be golden brown. Flip the bread and toast the other side. I cover the pan with a lid so the cheese will be nice and melted.

I served this with a bowl of Tomato Basil soup and the Butcher was extremely happy. Dinner was done in 10 minutes. It takes so little to keep the Butcher happy.

Until next time…from our Butcher Block to your Table.
