Did you know that today is National Grilled Cheese Day? Funny…..I wonder who comes up with such a day!? I actually didn’t know about it until yesterday afternoon, when I checked my email and saw that a local sandwich shop is offering free grilled cheese sandwiches today….! If it weren’t for the long lines and ungodly wait time, I just might consider taking advantage of such a fun offer! But, instead, I think I’ll make myself one of these…..
Yes, that really is ooey gooey cheesy goodness spilling out of the sandwich….just perfect, if you ask me! I was excited to have a chance to use this sweet ‘n’ hot pepper and onion relish I bought a while ago……have you tried it? I first fell in love with it when it was given to me as part of a gift basket from a friend. Mixed with cream cheese, it is a delicious dip for crackers or pretzels…..and mixed with cream cheese and provolone cheese, it is a delicious filling for this sandwich!
The flavor of the relish is a balance between sweet and savory, with a bit of tanginess and a bit of spice. When it’s mixed with cream cheese, it becomes a more mild, creamy version of that. Okay….so it’s hard to describe….but if you like a touch of sweetness in your savory, you will love this sandwich! It’s great for a meal, an appetizer (cut in pieces), or an after-school snack….and the sweet & spicy combo is just tantalizing enough to keep you wanting more!
…..As if I need another excuse to eat more cheese…..!

What a yummy looking sandwich! I love sweet and hot food and a good grilled cheese on a rainy day. I’ve pinned this to my Sandwich board. I’m now following you via GFC. Would love for you to stop by my blog and share at the Creative Corner Hop. Did someone mention a lemon martini? I’m off to look for that.
Have a great day!
