My Husband Makes the Best Grilled Cheese—You’ll Never Guess His Secret Ingredient

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

I would be lying if I said my husband lacked skills in the kitchen. I also wouldn’t be married, because I’m pretty sure I have a second stomach where my heart is supposed to be. I’m lucky to be part of a relationship that splits kitchen responsibilities, because I think it’s fair to say that we all have days when we can’t compute making food for ourselves, but are more than happy to take on the dirty dishes. 

My husband, Kyle, has a knack for making simple, comforting dishes. He’s especially good with barbecue and fettuccine Alfredo. He has a patience and resourcefulness that I often lack because I’m so fixated on the end product. It’s why I wrote his scrambled eggs into my wedding vows, and it’s why whenever I’m feeling sick, what I want most is for him to make me a grilled cheese sandwich. 

I had a pretty bad cold recently, so in addition to some chicken noodle soup, I got to enjoy a Kyle grilled cheese sandwich or two. And I’m very pleased to report that he’s incorporated a new trick and ingredient to make his grilled cheese sandwiches more delicious than ever.
