Since I didn’t grow up eating meatloaf and mac n cheese, I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that I also had not even heard of the whole grilled cheese with tomato soup combination until I had it at my mother in law’s house about a year ago. I didn’t expect to like it, but I thought it was a yummy combination, so I decided that I would make my own gourmet jazzed up version of this classic.

I just returned home from two lovely weeks on the East Coast! I spent the first ten years of my life in New England and my college years in New Jersey, but I hadn’t been back in over two years. It was wonderful to see the friends and family that I was able to see, and I insisted on doing all of the tourist activities we could possibly fit in! Most of my to-see list consisted of breweries and creameries (cheese AND ice cream!), and I also ate a lot of seafood that I had never tried as a kid, like lobster…

Sarah started singing an awesome, and funny, sandwich song this week and it got me thinking. We make a lot of sandwiches. So hopefully, if all everything works out, I’ll be able to continue documenting what I’m going to call; Start With Bread. This first example, had roots as a grilled cheese with a whole wheat/rye/white tartine loaf base and Havarti cheese.
