Grilled Cheese with Apples and Bacon and Homemade Potato Chips (Erin) ****.5

****.5 = 4 1/2 stars...how do you do half an asterisk?

You won't go wrong with this recipe that may sound a little strange! The picture looks really crumby (meaning having lots of crumbs...not yucky) because I couldn't wait to take a bite. I hurried to take a bit and try out this strange sounding combo...then I remembered I needed to take a picture. Oops!


This picture does not do the sandwich justice. So, I guess I'm asking you to take a risk and try this even though it sounds weird and doesn't look as fabulous as it tastes. The apples added such a different taste to the sandwich...so yummy! The homemade potato chips came out a bit weird just because I didn't cut the potatoes as uniformly in width as I had hoped. Some came out crunchy and others just soft.
  • Madeline liked the meal. I had to make her stop eating the chips. She is in bed, so you don't get a direct quote. I'm sure you're as disappointed as she will be when she realizes I didn't wait for her. :)
  • Riley LOVED her dinner...of course it was nothing that we ate. :)
  • Jason LOVED the chips. He said they were his favorite thing I've made from the cookbook so far. (SERIOUSLY?!? You ate the pot stickers, didn't you?!?)
  • I liked it all...especially the sandwich! I will make the chips again (I don't think Jase will give me a choice), but I will add some of the offered flavor combinations in the future to spice them up a bit. I will definitely make the sandwich again too, but I will use sliced cheese instead of shredded cheese...I like how sliced cheese "glues" the sandwich together.
