My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Goat Cheese and Strawberry Grilled Cheese

Do I have the right month? I think this is National Grilled Cheese Month. If not this is still a wonderful healthy change from the "regular grilled cheese". You even get a bonus of fruit and veggie!

3 servings
print recipe
1 (4-ounce) goat cheese log, softened

6 whole grain bread slices
4 1/2 teaspoons red pepper jelly
3/4 cup sliced fresh strawberries
6 large basil leaves
1 1/2 cups fresh watercress or arugula
Salt and pepper to taste

Spread goat cheese on 1 side of 3 bread slices. Spread pepper jelly on 1 side of remaining bread slices; layer with strawberries, basil leaves, and watercress. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Top with remaining bread, goat cheese side down. Cook sandwiches in a large lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat 2to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  2. For red pepper jelly, can you use the red jalapeno jelly? I think that is all I've seen locally, but this sounds so good.
