So you will have to forgive me today. I am in able to
complete a proper post. Someone who shall remain nameless (definitely not the
little guy in the picture below) happened to chew through my computer cord, and
my lap top is dead.

I ordered a new cord but, it won’t be here for a few days. All
of my pictures and picture editing software is on there, so the only halfway
decent picture I have is of this AMAZING grilled cheese I made the other day. It’s
a pesto, bacon grilled cheese. I mean what’s not to love right.

While we are on the topic of grilled cheese did you know
that last month (April) was national grilled cheese month? I had no idea until
April 30th. That might explain my grilled cheese cravings as of
late. Some of the grilled cheese I stumbled
across were so mouthwateringly amazing I had to try them. I think I’ve
overloaded on grilled cheese lately, but to be honest it’s helped out my
wallet.

Chuck and I are trying to yet again reduce the amount that
we eat out, which is more difficult than you might imagine seeing as we are
people who love food, if I am not in the mood to cook we instantly start
thinking of restaurants. I believe I should also insert here that I have a
buffalo & bbq sauce addiction. I swear I need these flavors once a week
in order to remain balanced, and happy. Crazy much? Maybe a little.

Grilled cheese has really helped us because, they are easy, Chuck
can make them, and I can feed all of my cravings with them. Here are a few of the
grilled cheese we have had lately that have helped get me through this rough
time of penny pinching. Hopefully you can enjoy them as much as I have.
