Hi, I am Shannon. I love to cook. I could cook or bake all day long. When I am having a bad day or need a break from the kids I lock myself in the kitchen. My dream is to one day open a restaurant or bakery. Since we are somwhere between dirt and poor that is not happening anytime soon. I thought it would be fun to share my love for food this way. Hope you enjoy!

Ultimate Grilled Cheese

     Ok first I want to say that if you have never tried an avacado then you need to. They are delicious. They have a subtle buttery taste and make an excellent topping to a salad.  They are not expensive so just buy it and try it. Slice it in half and then remove the seed and spoon out the green stuff LOL.

     For the ultimate grilled cheese your sandwich filler options are endless. Really  this becomes more of some kind of melt than a grilled cheese but I had a grilled cheese in mind when I made it.
     A few grilled cheese tips- You want to cook it slowly so the cheese melts and the butter doesn't burn. Do not, I repeat DO NOT smoosh the bread down. Then you just end up with a sandwich that looks like it has been rolled over with a trash truck. For a perfect grilled cheese you need to be patient.

2 slices of your choice of bread (I have potato bread for the picture, but use your favorite)
1 -2 tomato slice
2 slices of bacon
1/4 avacado
2-3 tukey lunch meat slices
Cheese- I cut blocks of colby jack cheese, it's my favorite. If you like sliced cheese the use 2 slices

Heat a non stick skillet on low heat.
Butter one side of both slices of bread.
I cut up my tomato and avacado in bite size pieces so there wont be chunks falling out of the sandwich.
Put the first piece of bread on skillet.
Top with cheese, turkey, bacon, tomato, and avacado.
Place more cheese on top and finish with the other piece of bread.
Cook slowly flipping over once until cheese in melted.
