How to Make a Special Grilled Cheese

Few things taste as good as a grilled cheese, especially if your kids are hungry and you are short on time and food.

According to The Daily Plate on Livestrong.com, the average homemade grilled cheese averages around 205 calories, while ordering a grilled cheese in a restaurant can run you up to 440 calories, for example, at Sonic.

This recipe is easy, quick, and it's even healthy. Make one for your kids today.

For a fuller meal you can add cut up apple slices. And don't forget - kids love to have their sandwiches cut into little pieces. Easier for small fingers to pick up.
