  • Bacon and Guacamole Grilled Cheese

    Bacon and Guacamole Grilled Cheese

    Nothing is better than a lovely grilled cheese sandwich. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, it doesn’t matter what time you have it.

    Two days ago we reviewed what was basically a grilled cheese with a ton of roasted vegetables and not one, but two types of cheese. Before this, we’ve had tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons and even grilled cheese with pears in it. There are so many combinations it’s hard to fathom sometimes.

    So we decided to shove some bacon and guacamole into a classic grilled cheese sandwich. First make some guacamole (you can find our recipe here). Make some bacon and toss them in.

    I definitely recommend using a mixture of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese with the guacamole and bacon. Oh, and if you can find a nice sourdough? Use that. Definitely, use that.

  • Caprese Terrine

    Caprese Terrine

    Growing up, whenever there was a caprese salad at a party, or served at dinner, I would steal the mozzarella slices, and eat nothing else. Of course, as I got older, I began to love tomatoes, and appreciate how the flavors all melded together. Still, whenever there was a caprese salad, I would still just eat the cheese.

    A terrine is a mixture that has been prepared in advance and left to set in its container. It is then generally served in slices. As caprese is a personal favorite of mine, I decided to make it into a terrine.

    Let me tell you, it worked so much better then eating the slices separately. Suddenly, it was easy to see how a caprese could be more than just a salad or a side dish, but rather as a course in itself.

    Here’s the recipe if you’re craving some caprese salad.

    *Feel free to omit the red peppers, they just add more substance to the dish.
