GeorgiaThis week was my choice and I wanted something with cheese. I know, I know, I know.. Cheese is not very healthy.. But.. Who cares.. Cheese is good.. Several months ago the husband and I went to a nice restaurant in Albuquerque that served fried mac and cheese balls as an appetizer.. They were the closest thing to heaven on earth.. Okay.. Maybe not that good.. But dangit they were pretty tasty.. This is my best attempt at replicating them.. Not quite the same.. But.. Randy devoured quite a few of them.. So all in all.. A hit!!

I found a copycat Panera Bread Tomato Soup recipe online and thought, "What a perfect pairing for some obey, gooey, melty grilled cheese." In all honesty, I burned one half of the sandwich and skillfully replaced it in the pan while cooking the other side. It was my lunch break, and I did NOT have time to remake a whole other sandwich. It was delicious. The tomato soup tastes identical to the restaurant's version but costs much less. It took about 25 minutes to cook. Here's a grilled cheese tip: don't use preshredded cold cheese as it will not melt without nuking the sandwich in the microwave. 😉 Oh, and if you're reading this Matt, please buy me an immersion blender. K'thanks! AmyCheese glorious cheese! I got all giddy when I read that this week's food challenge was cheese! So many choices. Cheese goes with just about any food in any fashion. But at the end of the day nothing beats a grilled cheese sandwich. I bought some "posh" cheese and got creative with whatever I managed to forage from within the refrigerator. I think these sandwiches turned out fly as hell thank you very much. No more boring grilled cheese and tomato soup. That's it, end of story. Fly as Hell Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Click below for recipe Fly as Hell Grilled Cheese Sandwiches There's a reason why I have two entries in this week's Saturday Bites. It's because I've been doing a separate food challenge by myself. Last October I received an unexpected package in the mail from my stepmother Pat. Contained within was a cookbook along with a note explaining the reason why Pat felt compelled to send it to me. It's because I love cookbooks. The older the better. What makes this cookbook even more special is that it's one that Dad and Pat picked out together. So I decided for 2017 I'm going to make something once a week from it. I had a friend to tea today and made this for dessert. I guess it was a Trifecta. Two food challenge and dessert for two hu gry ladies. Without further ado, I give you more cheese! Cherry- Cheese Pie from Farm Journal's Complete Pie Cookbook, 1965 edition Pastry for 1-crust pie 1 (1 lb. 6 oz.) can cherry pie filling 2 (3 oz.) page. cream cheese, room temperature 1/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 cup dairy sour cream Line 8" pie pan with pastry and flute edges (or be like me and buy one ready made). Spread half of cherry pie filling over bottom of pastry. Bake in hot oven (425°) for 15 minutes, or until pastry is browned Meanwhile, soften cream cheese in an electric mixer. Blend in sugar gradually; beat in eggs and vanilla. Pour this mixture over hot cherry filling in pie shell. Reduce oven temperature to 350° F. and continue baking 20 minutes. Cool pie and place in refrigerator. Before serving, spoon sour cream around rim of pie and spoon remaining remaining half of cherry pie filling in center. I didn't want that much sour cream on the pie so I just plopped a couple of dollops over the cherry pie filling. Make something delicious for yourselves ladies! Angie C Whenever I am missing my grandparents I make this for breakfast. This wonderful comfort food comes from when I was growing up on a small farm. We had pigs and chickens and they were my friends. My Grandpa would fry bacon very crisp and would crumble it so it was easier to hide and would soft scramble eggs then mix everything up really good put it in a bowl and top it with cheese to hide all the egg and bacon. He fooled me for a long time but by the time I figured it out, I already loved it. Grandpa's Breakfast Bowls Make grits according to package. Put in a bowl Add egg and bacon cooked to your liking. Season well and top with cheese Enjoy Cheese Improves the flavor of life The greatest memories happen around the dinner table. Blessings, Georgia, Nikita, Amy and Angie C. Side note: auntie has been down with the flu this week.. Prayers of healing for her.
