Gourmet Grilled Cheese?!

I’m a Food Network junkie and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Normally it’s just the girls and I who enjoy it – but yesterday was different.

Maybe it was the time of day – late afternoon.

Maybe it was the weather outside – cold and rainy.

Whatever it was – the boys stayed through the entire cooking show.

At first I thought it was a good thing – now I’m not so sure. The show was all about cheese and on the menu was a gourmet mac and cheese and a pretty upscale grilled cheese sandwich.

My kids were drooling…and asking for supper.

Our traditional Sunday evening meal is popcorn and sandwiches. So I set out the sandwich stuff and was starting to pop the popcorn when the kids starting coming in with their sandwich ideas. The first three were quite normal and achievable – a simple grilled cheese. No surprise there.

The fourth was something totally different.

Matt waited till everyone else was done – then he grabbed the cutting board, and the skillet with a strange look on his face.

I asked him what he planned to make. He answered, “I don’t know yet – but I feel like creating!”

And create he did.

He ended up with a grilled chicken, cheese, onion, banana and Louisiana hot sauce sandwich.

Yes – banana and onion. And hot sauce.

He ate it. The whole thing. And declared it pretty tasty.

Budding chef?

I don’t know – time will tell.

But I do that mac and cheese has been requested for supper – and Matt will not be making it!
