Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:58:49 +0000 http://cookingthebooks.cupcakerehab.com/?p=140#comment-18 [...] Anyway, tonight I wasn’t all that hungry (unusual for me, if you know me you know I can out-eat most men twice my size), and I have a LOT of baking/preparing to do for Thanksgiving, so I wanted something light and quick. I decided that the Italian grilled cheese was perfect. I switched it up a bit from Giulia’s recipe, which is actually more along the lines of a hybrid of French toast and a croque monsieur. I made mine more like a regular grilled cheese, however. Giulia uses Italian bread in her recipe, I used Wonder bread (I know, I know). I spread some minced garlic and drizzled a bit of olive oil on tw slices. Then I put some mozzarella on one of them, flipped the other slice over so the garlic side faced the cheese, and grilled it in a skillet in some olive oil. I also used some marinara sauce in a little bowl to dip it in, because I am of the school of thought that bread + cheese is always better with marinara or some kind of tomato/tomato sauce. Oh- and garlic (like Brianne said the other day).

I did take a picture, but meatloaf never looks nice. HA! I am not a meatloaf person either, but this was delicious – it wasn’t really heavy and didn’t sit like a brick in my stomach afterwards.

Men always love meatloaf. Why is that?

Men always love meatloaf. Why is that?

This looks delish! Matt loves meat loaf (whereas I personally only see a slab of meat with sauce, he sees heaven!) so I may have to venture to try this one. And you are so right, I go through garlic like it is my job. MMMMM, Brianne, I am so proud you are off and running! This looks delish!
