Grilled Cheese Tonight?

Fried fish is not the only food you can eat on Fridays during Lent. Promise. For a healthier option, try a grilled cheese tonight! (Maybe add some soup!)

Heart Healthy Grilled Cheese

Ingredients
2 slices whole wheat bread
Either 0 calorie cooking spray or a non-hydrogenated, omega 3 whipped butter
2 slices of your favorite 2% or part-skim cheese (for a little pizazz, try mixing 2 types of cheeses - Swiss and Provolone, Swiss and Cheddar, Cheddar and Colby)
Slice of Tomato

Directions
Keep the pan on low (when cooking without real butter, the bread will brown before the cheese melts. You have to go slow). Spray the pan with cooking spray or spread whipped butter. Add bread, cheese, and then top with tomato slice and 2nd piece of bread. Flip until golden brown on both sides.

With the amount of vitamins and minerals that come from the whole grains and dairy.....and even the lycopene from the tomato, you'll be 10Xs better off than if you hit the nearest fish fry!

Enjoy!
