So what is your favorite comfort food?
It seems like Winter just calls for comfort food. I know I am craving it! Actually I am just craving food! After eating around the clock during the holidays, I am hungry ALL the time. I am blaming it on the cold. I need to bulk up some blubber to help me make it through this season. After all, that's how seals stay warm or is it whales? Never mind...now I am comparing myself to animals with blubber...bad analogies....but I am craving comfort food. Grilled cheese is a favorite around here, so I mixed it up and made it Italian style. Better than that...they are bite size! Only takes a couple of bites to gobble up these cheesy goodies!
Italian Grilled Cheese Bites have mozzarella, fontina and Parmesan cheeses.
And the best part...you dip them! I know, you're sold right?
Party food, lunch or for dinner with a salad! Don't you just love how versatile grilled cheese can be?!
You are going to love how easier it is to jazz up plain ol' grilled cheese!
