My Take on the Book
If you are like me you are being asked to make grilled cheese sandwiches each and every day. My kids love grilled cheese sandwiches and usually the ones we make are pretty similar to the rest. When I heard about this book I was intrigued as I thought it might give me some great ideas about new ways to make sandwiches for the family. When I received the book I was completely interested as I read more and more of the recipes. The recipes not only sounded and looked delicious, but I tried a few and have to say that they taste delicious too. One of my favorite recipes thus far is the Chicken Pesto Panini. The recipe was easy to follow and make and the family just loved it!

One other thing that was great about the book was how the author laid it out. Not only is it well organized in regards to the sandwiches themselves, but the latter part of the book provides recipes many of the sauces and spreads that the recipes calls for.

Overall, this was an amazing book, and I look forward to sharing more and more of the book’s recipes within the book with my family!
