Husband Appreciation Day

National Husband Appreciation Day is coming soon.  It is observed every year on the third Saturday in April.  This year it falls on April 15, 2023.

In honor of Husband Appreciation Day, I want to give a shoutout to my amazing husband, John. He is always there to support me, make me laugh, and lend a helping hand. I am so grateful for all that he does and for the love that we share. Happy Husband Appreciation Day, John! 

P.S. check out the photos to see what John is currently doing.  He’s really working hard just because I thought the sidewalk had a slope issue.

So this is just a heads up to all you spouses out there with your own amazing husband.  Be sure to tell him how special he is.  You want to make him a grilled cheese sandwich.  Guess why…..  

National Grilled Cheese Day is April 12

National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day is celebrated every year on April 12th. It’s a day to celebrate and enjoy the delicious comfort food that is the grilled cheese sandwich.

I suggest you try making a grilled cheese sandwich with your favorite type of cheese and bread, and perhaps adding some extra ingredients like bacon, tomato, or avocado for added flavor. Experimenting with different combinations can be a fun and tasty experience!

I’ve included one of my favorite grilled cheese recipes below.

Equipment

  • 1 gridle or large skillet
  • 1 pancake turner spatula
  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 rubber mixing spatula

Ingredients

  • 3 oz cream cheese, room temp
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar or swap for colby, monteray jack, muenster, or provolone.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or miracle whip
  • 2 tbsp pimentos optional
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt don't put all in at once. add half and taste, everyone is different when it comes to salt.
  • 10-12 slices favorite bread Italian, French, sourdough, even regular white bread works.
  • 3 tbsp softened butter

Instructions

  • In bowl stir together cheeses, mayo, pimento (if using), and garlic salt.
  • Divide mixture onto six slices of bread. Top with six more slices.
  • Butter both sides of all six sandwiches.
  • Heat the griddle or skillet and cook both sides to golden brown, 3-4 minutes each.

Notes

I sometimes add some 2 tbsp chipotle in adobo for a sweet smoky kick.  If you do this don't include the garlic salt.
A slice of tomato is a good addition but not if you are serving with tomato soup.
This recipe will make more or less sandwiches depending upon the size of your bread and how much you put on.
The sharper the cheddar, the more flavor, but less melty.  I love extra sharp cheddar and don't mind if it isn't a cohesive melted cheese.
