Farmer Boy Recipe - "Apples 'n' Onions Grilled Cheese"

This is "Grilled Cheese Month", and I hope to share a number of grilled cheese recipes to celebrate.
This one would probably be the favorite of Almanzo Wilder!

If you plan on trying this recipe, you'll need to go into my blog archives to find the "Farmer Boy Apples 'n' Onions" recipe.  After you make a batch of that recipe, you'll use that to make this grilled cheese sandwich.

Farmer Boy Apples 'n' Onions Grilled Cheese
Ingredients for each sandwich:
  • 3 - 4 Tablespoons of the "Apples 'n' Onions"
  • 2 slices of bread (I prefer to use Sour Dough Bread - you'll find a recipe to make that in my archives. Rye Bread also goes good - or use any variety you'd like!)
  • Butter, melted
  • 3 - 4 Tablespoons of sharp cheddar cheese spread (I use Merk's, but Cheez Whiz works good too.)
Directions: Spread the cheese onto one side of each of the matching slices of bread. 
Spread the "Apples 'n' Onions" onto one slice of the bread.  Put both slices together.  Brush melted butter onto the top.  Place this upside down on a hot griddle. Cook till lightly browned. As it cooks, brush the top with melted butter, then turn it over to cook the second side.
Serve warm.

Almanzo made a success of his farm by overcoming his disabilities and getting down to work.  He followed the Biblical example, set forth in Proverbs 16:9, "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps."  If you would also hope to succeed in this world, you might consider to do likewise.  Some people will tell you that, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve."  But if you approach it that way, where is God in that equation?  How do you think you can do something worthwhile without God's permission and blessing?  But, once you get those, go out and put in the hard work behind it!  And if you took the time, in the first place, to allow God to inspire you and then teach you, you can't go wrong!  Laura Ingalls Wilder, (Almanzo's wife) had this to say, "We must first see the vision in order to realize it; we must have the ideal or we cannot approach it. But when once the dream is dreamed, it is time to wake up and 'get busy'. We must 'do great deeds, not dream them all day long'. "

You may really be surprised at what you can accomplish, if you give God all the credit!
Long ago, I made Proverbs 3:5,6 my life's verses to live by.  Try it for yourself, see if you won't live a more content life!  You may not accomplish every dream you dream, because God may not want that for you. God with the flow of God's Will! He knows what is best for you!

If you make this sandwich, please leave a comment here. Thanks. The Old Man in the Bib Overalls
