Gosh, why am I suddenly aching for a grilled cheese sandwich? Those photos look so scrumptious!
I sometimes like a thin slice of ham on my grilled cheese sandwich, but most of the time I just want dill pickles on the side (not on the sandwich, they cool the cheese down too fast).
Great guest post! More, please!
