DON'T (TOMATO) SHOOT THE MESSENGER

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY!

You can't be beautiful, fabulous and gorgeous all the time.

Some days, you feel like shit-- and no offense, you probably look like shit too.

Every so often (at least once a month when Aunt Flo is in town) you need a meal of comfort. Something you can chow down on with your hair in a bun and your face dotted with pimple medicine.

  • Can of Campbell's Tomato Soup
  • Garlic infused Olive Oil
  • Basil (dried or fresh)
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • Gouda cheese ( I prefer the double creme)
  • Goat cheese
  • Blue cheese
  • Parmesean cheese -- freshly shredded
  • Whole wheat French baguette or wheat bread of choice

In a pot, follow Campbell's directions in making the soup. I like to add a dash of red pepper flakes, garlic-infused olive oil and dried basil to spice it up!

On the stove top, heat a pan with a dash of the olive oil. Place two slices of toast in the pan and place a mixture of both cheeses in the middle. Wait until they begin to melt and bring the slices together to make a sandwich. This also works well on a George foreman or similar grill, adding grill markings on the sandwich.

How to Plate: If you are having an appetizer party, the above dish can be a fabulous chic twist on comfort food. Fill the tomato soup in a over-sized shot glass and cut the grilled cheese sandwiches into bite-size bits! Or pair the shooter with some crackers. (See picture I took for guidance)
