Mmmm…cheese! I ♥ cheese! My thighs and big ol‘ butt don’t care much for it. Ha Ha. Cheese just goes so well with so many things. If it wasn’t for the fat and calories I’d put cheese on just about everything.
The next time you have a cheeseburger why not replace the American Cheese with Swiss Cheese? Or better yet use Muenster Cheese, or “Monster Cheese” as my kids call it.
When my cousin and I were younger we would make pizza by toasting some bread, topping the slices with some Muenster Cheese, popping it under the broiler until it melted, spread on a little ketchup and sprinkle with oregano. It was SO GOOD!
