Lunch time!

I naturally love having lunch on the weekends, because it's when I can really make some delicious, but easy, food. Today's version of yumminess puts a spin on things you are probably already familiar with- grilled cheese with apples, and Greek yogurt with honey. My 4 year old did most of the preparing for this dish, so don't be afraid to have the kids pitch in and learn how to cook!

For the grilled cheese, we took a loaf of day-old bread that was on clearance from the grocery store and very lightly buttered the outside of each piece. We had cheddar cheese laying around today, but you could use any cheese you have in your 'fridge depending on your tastes. Slice up some apples (we used Gala, as they are more kid friendly than a tart version, which would have gone great for adults), put them and the cheese between the bread and put into a preheated panini maker (or on a preheated skillet). While those are getting nice and toasty, mix 1 TBSP honey into 3/4 cup on Greek yogurt for a side dish. We also served cucumbers on the side for a veggie. Delicious!
