Winner: Taylor Crafts Giveaway

Sorry I'm a few minutes delayed in announcing the winner. I was caught up in the season 3 finale of Glee. *tear*

Okay, down to business. This has undoubtedly been one of the most well-received giveaways we've ever done. Does this surprise anyone? Not me, I say.

I'm just going to get right to it. The winner of this giveaway is:

Felicia!

"I've never had a Thanksgiving with disposable kitchenware/utensils--but every year, I ask myself why I didn't go disposable as all the guests leave and it's just me and my boyfriend left to do the dishes. These tablewares look like they could definitely work though! Especially for an event like Thanksgiving where there's just so much to catch up on with every one, that there really isn't much time left to do the dishes after a long light. I think it's a go! :)"

Thank you to everyone who submitted an answer to my question! I'm going to try the disposable, but we'll see what the rest of the family thinks. Also, we're having more giveaways from now until November, so come back and visit us this week to enter for another chance to win!

Don't forget to stop by Taylor Crafts' online shop to get your own personal cutting board. They're affordable and are made to last.

'Til next time,

Grilled Mozzarella Sandwich

Today has been a sequence of good things. I woke up. Naturally. This never happens. Then, I convinced myself to exercise. Once again...a rare occurrence. Afterwards, I was all full of endorphins and decided to try a new recipe.

I love grilled cheese.

Tim has a slight obsession with marinara sauce, and dipping things in it. We go through about 3 cans of it every week, regardless of whether or not we have an Italian dish that requires it.

Have you ever been to BJ's Pizza? West-coasters, you know what I'm talking about. East-coasters, if you don't know what I'm referring to, I am so, so sorry. I admit that I took one bite of this before packing it for Tim's lunch, and the finished product tastes like a BJ's pizza.

It's a cheesy-gooey (yet crispy) mess-of-a-dish. When I pulled it apart, the cheese stayed in tact for well over 2 ft. It's that cheesy!

This is also easily pack-able for a quick lunch. And it's the perfect comfort food for this cool, fall day.

Ingredients (1 sandwich)

• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• Italian seasoning
• Salt/pepper
• 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, or 2 slices mozzarella cheese
• Marinara sauce

Directions:

Combine the egg, milk, Italian seasoning, and a dash of salt and pepper. Whisk together.

Pour the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add the butter and wait until melted.

Dip one slice of bread in the egg mixture.

 Place in the pan, keeping it on medium heat.

Top with mozzarella cheese.

Dip the second piece of bread in the egg mixture and place on top. Cook each side for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

Serve with marinara sauce.

Love and warm, fall recipes,
