Zupa's Ultimate Grilled Cheese

My favorite item from Zupa's is their Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich.  I LOVE it and get it every time.  Now that I have figured out the ingredients I can make it even better than they can. (not to toot my own horn, but I can.) :)  Try this!  You will LOVE it!

Sourdough bread from your grocers bakery

Turkey sandwich meat

Sliced Muenster Cheese and Colby Jack Cheese

Sliced Roma Tomatoes (thin)

Costco's Pesto Basil found in the refrigerated section

Butter the top and bottom of the Sandwich

Assemble as follows:

Pesto

Turkey (I did only 3 slices)

Layer of Tomatoes

Layer of Muenster Cheese

Layer of Colby Jack Cheese

If you have a panini maker, go to town on that... 

If you don't just grill like a grilled cheese on medium until golden brown on both sides.

Serve this along with the creamy tomato basil soup I've posted and you will have one heavenly meal.. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Spinach Wrap

I am such a sucker for going to those high end bakery's and paying way too much money for this exact type of meal.  This creation reminds me of my favorite eatery in Virginia, The Joyful Spirit Cafe. So of course I was so pleased when I came up with this replica! If you have the right ingredients, you can eat like a queen everyday! :)

This chicken wrap is one of my favorite wraps.  You will thoroughly enjoy this one!

Ingredients:

Spinach Wrap Tortilla (found with the flour tortillas)

Baby spinach

Cooked cubed chicken

Diced Avacados

Low-fat cream cheese

Costco's Pineapple habenero salsa

Diced roma tomato

How to Assemble:

Layer softened cream cheese on open tortilla

Spread a little layer of the salsa on the cream cheese.

(warning, this stuff has quite the kick, start of with a smaller amount..)

A small layer of spinach (cut stems off)

The throw on the rest of the ingredients.

Roll up and ENJOY!

*I served this with my homemade tomato basil soup.  You can find that recipe in the side bar under the label of 'soup'...

Shore Lunch Soup Mixes

Ok, I totally admit that I was OBSESSED with these this winter!

I made probably one packet a week at least.

They taste homemade and are SO YUMMY.

I loved to put them in bread bowls from Harmons.

They are around $4 each, but most stores will have them on sale.

Each pack feeds about 5 to 6, depending on how hungry you are. :)
