The Epic Noms Collective

Some delicious mustard like my favorite, Boetje’s Stone Ground Dutch Mustard (Made in Rock Island, IL), and hummus can spice up a standard grilled cheese sammich. I like whole wheat bread and Colby-Jack cheese with liberal amounts of butter for the grilling (frying) process. Serve with a pickle.

Nomtastic!

We set out to make grilled cheese and then wanted soup. The soup shifted from canned to homemade, so I tried my hand at a tomato soup.

Grilled Panccetta and Gruyere Cheese
