loujac3 @loujac3 (1188) • United States 8 Jun 08

Okay, this is a common thing for many women. We go to the doctor and they say to you that you are due for a yearly exam. Now, if they would look in my chart before they tried to set this exam up, they would save themselves...

Forget the grilled cheese, have you tried grilled peanutbutter and jelly?

loujac3 @loujac3 (1188) • United States 27 May 08

I never would have done this on my own but it really is good. It really enhances the flavor and you grill it the same way that you would a Grilled cheese sandwich. Give it a try and then let me know what you think........Yum!
