Grilled Cheese & Pepper Sandwiches

Oh, how I've been looking forward to #NationalGrilledCheeseDay!  Back in October, I changed my eating habits, and bread was one of the things I've cut back on.   I do allow myself splurges, like pizza every once in a while, and then there was this grilled cheese.

I love that it's loaded with veggies, and the cheese melted so perfectly.  But the bread made the whole sandwich.  Rye and pumpernickel marbled together, griddled to the perfect golden-brown deliciousness.

I admire photographers who can get "THAT" shot, where the cheese is melted and oozing. I am not that photographer. Grilled cheese is one of the few things that I don't want to fuss over, or reheat it to eat it, so I take a dozen or so quick pictures, devour the sandwich, and hope I got a good shot.


Thank you to Christie at A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures for hosting and to all of the #FestiveFoodies for sharing their grilled cheese creations! Be sure to check out what they came up with using the links at the bottom of the post.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
