VEGAN GODDESS
Avocado & Jalapeño Grilled Cheese Sandwich | from Namely Marly

Made with Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced roast beef and four slices of Colby Jack, this instant food coma inducer may be worth every bite.
ALL AMERICAN CLASSIC
Grilled Cheese Sandwich | from The New York Times
It doesn’t get much more original than this. The grilled cheese, is, without dispute, an American institution, comprising nothing more than two slices of sliced bread and one slice of cheddar cheese. No one escaped the elementary school cafeteria without eating at least one of these, and now that you’re an adult, no rainy day seems complete without one.
