Low Calorie Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup


So lets be honest.. who doesn't love grilled cheese and tomato soup?! The only downside is that usually things smothered in butter are high in calories. Well, I have a solution that will make your taste buds happy. You will all be thanking me especially now that the cooler weather is approaching. Grilled cheese and tomato soup is one of my favorite cooler weather foods.

Calories for this meal: 328
Calories for if you have the entire can of soup instead of just half: 440
Calories for if you have an extra slice of cheese: 418
Calories for the whole can and an extra slice of cheese: 530

Ingredients:

  • Great Value (Walmart brand) tomato soup. (average size can is 90 calories per serving for 2.5 servings or 225 for the whole can)
  • Sara Lee Soft & Smooth Whole Grain White bread (120 calories for 2 slices)
  • Slice of cheddar cheese (I get pre sliced and its 90 calories for one slice)
  • I can't believe it's not butter spray (it says 0 calories but I estimate it is about 5 calories for spraying the bread)
  • Garlic salt
  • Pepper
Instructions:
  1. Get your tomato soup cookin!
  2. Instead of slathering your bread with butter like you would normally do.. just spray the outside pieces of bread with your butter spray.
  3. Place the "buttered" side down on a skillet, add your slice of cheese, sprinkle a little garlic salt seasoning on top (to taste) and put your last slice of bread over the cheese, "buttered" side up.
  4. Grill it like you would normally make a grilled cheese!
  5. Serve up your soup, topped with a little pepper, and grilled cheese and enjoy!
Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!

Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here  http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in t...

Vincent eating a warhead

Ok... so I know I haven't posted on here in a while. I have been crazy crazy busy this month. I have dressed up in Halloween costumes on 6-7 different occasions along with 2 kids. And let me tell ya.. it takes all the energy out of you. This year my son FINALLY was a Hobbit and my girlie pie was a fairy princess! ANYWAYS... Tonight was Halloween and we did some trick or treating. At first when we went out my little (now 3 year old! He just had his birthday yesterday!) guy, he was so tired he started falling asleep while trick or treating. So I gave him an hour or so to get a second wind and took him out again. He got lots more candy and we came home once he was satisfied. He then preceded to take a nap (which I thought was bedtime) and he woke up at 11:30 at night. SO we are going to be up super super late. BUT it payed off because I got the best belly laugh I have EVER had. Out of all the candy he had in his bucket.. he decided to pick out the warhead. Now, if any of you hav...
