    Alfalfa sprouts spruce up this veggie grilled cheese sandwich and provide an abundance of antioxidants. The sandwich is hearty with the addition of a few slices of turkey and grilled to perfection for a crispy exterior. This is one of my favorite grilled cheese sandwich creations of all time!

    I have to thank my mother for helping me to fall in love with alfalfa sprouts at a young age. I’m not sure I would give them the time of day without her guidance. I don’t always think to add them to my grocery list, but when they are in my fridge I eat them all up. This grilled cheese sandwich is delicious sans sprouts, but adding them makes the sandwich INCREDIBLE.

    Dishes To Pair With Your Grilled Cheese

    Loaded Potato Soup – A loaded baked potato is transformed into a warm, delicious, comforting soup! The perfect fall or winter meal!

    Minestrone with Black Eyed Peas – Fresh, healthy and satisfyingly delicious soup!

    Crispy Kale and Garbanzo Bean Salad – Crispy Kale and Garbanzo Bean Salad is a great lunch any day of the week. Or double the recipe and serve it at your next gathering. The different textures and bold flavors make this salad a keeper!

    Easy Coleslaw – This classic coleslaw contains shredded cabbage, creamy vinaigrette dressing and it’s not loaded down with mayo! This will be your go-to slaw for a dinner side, picnic fare and fish tacos!

    Dill Pickle Pasta Salad – If you are a pickle lover, this Dill Pickle Pasta Salad is for YOU! It is creamy, flavorful and crunchy all in a single bite. This is a great, quick recipe to throw together for summer gatherings and potlucks. It’s a crowd pleaser!

    I am about to embark on a rainy field trip with a bunch of fourth graders, so feel free to say a prayer for me. Wishing for a warm grilled cheese sandwich to enjoy as soon as I get back. It’s nice that they cook up easily and quickly, with so many different ingredients you can add, depending on what you have on hand.
