About Me

My photo
Most of you know that I came from a big family ~ 7 kids! No, we are not Catholic. Yes, we had the same parents. (Those are usually the two questions people ask when they hear "7 kids?".) Most of you also know that my mom was sick for years. I am the second oldest, so I did a lot of the care-taking of the younger kids. I learned to cook when I was 10. I remember the first thing I cooked with my dad was Tacos. I loved cooking. Then, there was the baking. I made all the desserts and the b-day cakes for everyone's b-day, including mine. And I loved it! Another thing I remember is my grandmother making the biggest dessert spreads ever at the holidays. She made sure that every person there (we are talking, like, 30+ people) had their favorite dessert. I remember visiting her when I was 20. We cooked & baked all week. I never felt as close to her until then. We had this bond now - baking! I learned so much from her. I think it fueled my love of baking ~ and cooking! Now, at the Holidays, I make sure to prepare everyone's favorite dessert, no matter how many attend. It just wouldn't be the Holiday's if you didn't have your favorite pie, cake, cookie or candies!!

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Tahoe Meals: Day 5, Lunch

This may seem like a silly thing to blog.  After all, who doesn't know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich? But do you know how to make it like my dad???  I bet not.  This sandwich is made with mustard (yep - you heard it right) and I normally do not like mustard...  but I put it on my sandwich every time because that's how my dad made it when I was growing up!  And yep... makes me think of him every time I make it!!


Ingredients:
  • Sourdough bread, 2 slices
  • Butter, softened
  • American cheese slice
  • Mustard
Directions:
  1. Spread mustard on one slice of bread.  
  2. Butter the outside of both pieces.
  3. Heat in skillet over medium high heat.
  4. Flip sandwich over and brown second side.
  5. Cook until cheese is melted and sides are golden brown.
