The weather outside is cold tonight. Whenever its cold outside, I always go to my comfort foods. Tonight it was stuffed grilled cheese and chicken tortilla soup.
The grilled cheese was just a standard grilled cheese on white bread, with cheddar, swiss and white cheddar cheeses. The stuffed grilled cheese had the cheddars, swiss and some pan seared sliced turkey and sliced ham. Take a look at the pic and enjoy.
