Best Ever Gourmet Grilled Cheese with Two Cheeses and Roasted Garlic Artisan Bread

December 5, 2016 by Kathryn 44 Comments

Like most kids, I loved grilled cheese sandwiches when I was young. The sandwich of my youth was the classic processed cheese slice on white bread flattened down as much as possible and cooked to a golden brown. I still love the idea of grilled cheese, but my tastes have matured since those days. So I decided it was time to make my grilled cheese sandwich gourmet!

With two cheeses, artisan bread and a creamy tomato and roasted red pepper soup served on the side, this sandwich was everything I had hoped it would be. If you’ve been looking for a top-shelf grilled cheese, look no further!

Cheese Lover’s Day is Tastier with this Easy Tomato Cheese Bake Recipe #WhatsCooking

January 21, 2014 by Kathryn 10 Comments

Yesterday, January 20th, was National Cheese Lover’s Day, but I have to be honest and say that I really don’t ever need an excuse to eat cheese. It is my all-time favourite food and one of the things I love about it is its versatility. Whether I want to whip up a fancy appetizer such as brie baked in puff pastry or a hearty dinner like homemade lasagna, it’s just a simple fact in my mind that cheese makes everything better.

But while there are plenty of more time-consuming cheese recipes that I love, in this household quick and easy meals are always a top priority. The Kraft Canada website is a constant source of inspiration for me since the recipes, in addition to being delicious, are always so simple to prepare. Of course, I also have a few tried-and-true easy dinner recipes of my own and Kraft cheese is a sure-fire way to make them even better!

That’s why I decided to celebrate National Cheese Lover’s Day and the start of a new year by making an incredibly simple and delicious Tomato Cheese Bake. With just three ingredients, this tasty dish makes a great lunch or light dinner, especially when paired with crusty French bread and a fresh green salad. And it’s even gluten-free!

With Christmas less than a month away, holiday entertaining is on my mind. I’ve been spending the last week baking up some tasty goodies for the freezer, but I like having savoury snacks to offer as well as sweets. I adore using appetizers for entertaining and cheese is one of my top choices, simply because I love it so much. Recently Black Diamond asked me to create a few recipes perfect for holiday entertaining using its new Black Diamond Cheese Spread and I couldn’t resist the chance to test out the cheesy goodness for myself.

I decided to make the Bacon Cheddar Salsa Dip featured on the Black Diamond website. My boys and I are huge fans of Mexican food and this looked like a great easy way to enjoy our favourite cuisine. I made the recipe even easier by substituting our favourite store-bought salsa for the freshly made version and the results were perfect. [Read more…]
