Grilled cheese was one of my all-time favorite meals as a kid, along with Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, cheese hot dogs, scrambled eggs, chicken nuggets, … Continue reading »

Blazing Buffalo Chicken Melt

Things are getting hot in the kitchen…with my pitas. I found myself experimenting again with a meatless main this Friday due to Lent, so I turned to pita bread, the love of my life, for a new sandwich concoction. I wanted something spicy this time, so I reached for some salsa to turn up the heat. However, my fridge and … Continue reading »
