I have not tried this yet, but this is "all the rage" here at work.
I wanted to mention it on the forum before I sucked away into the whirlwind thats coming in the next few weeks and totally forget about it.

Grilling Cheese or Gretna Grilling Cheese is the newest thing for foodies who are trying to stay away from bread. Apparently just grilling the cheese by itself taste just like a Grilled Cheese Sandwhich.

Thought I would pass it along incase this is something RNYers can eat.

I'd try it, but I'm stuck on lean meats and veggies until surgery date

I really like the Queso Blanco (they sell at Costco fairly cheap, also at most grocery stores in the specialty cheese or ethnic food refridgerated sections). I spray some pam in a frying pan and then put small slices in and fry it on both sides gets browned and toasty/crispy on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside. Great alternative to mozarella sticks.

Somewhere inside me, there is a fat girl just dying to get back out. I mostly just try to keep her subdued with sugar free pudding, but she's not amused.

Oh. My. God.

Just another reason to hate you people who can get Trader Joes. (70 degress in winter is worth it..... 70 degrees in winter is worth it...... 70 degrees in winter is worth it........)

That looks awesome. I am so buying that when I get near a TJ's!

Thanks Tony!!!!

See y'all are so much better than me. I just take a bite out of each of my chillun's grilled cheese sammiches and call it a day. Being the cheese connisseur (read: crackhead) that I am, I may have to try this. There is something to be said, however, about the crispyness of the fried bread in a grilled cheese sandwich. It's not just about the cheese for me. It's the bread...the butter (or ICBINB as it were), the texture.

Mmmmmmmm

Nik, I swear you should try the Queso Blanco. It gets crispy and browned on the outside if you panfry it slowly. I never would have realized the deliciousness of it if it hadn't been on sample at Costco.

Once I lift the grocery store restriction, I will have to try that. For now I gotta figure out what to do with two bags of Mexican blend cheese, a bag of mozzarella, a pack of pepper jack, four slices of provolone, a pack of yellow American, and a bag of pizza blend shredded cheese. I am unbelievably cheesy these days.

Oh I could think of a million evil things to do with that cheese... but I'm being very good because I hate being fat

You would have though Ed McMahon gave me the winning check when I found out that it was ok to eat cheese post op. I got up and sang Oh Happy Day (and there's people on this forum who were there to witness too)
