What’s For Dinner? Grilled Deli Sandwiches

We had a few (brief!) quieter weeknights throughout January where we actually ate some super yummy meals at home, but this week we’re back to way too many nights of busy activities for my kiddos!  So, as I was trying to figure out what on earth to make that would help us scoot out the door in a hurry, I was so excited to come up with this yummy sandwich.

It’s just a very basic grilled sandwich, but was so much better than a bowl of cereal on a busy night (which we’ve been known to have quite a few times as well!)  Here’s how to make this one if your family has a few crazy busy nights too . . .
