Having lived in America's Dairyland
My whole life, I thought the name "The Dairyland"
Would be an appropriate name for my
Grilled Cheese Sandwich~
A few days ago, I entered Grilled Cheese Academy
Grilled Cheese Contest.
Living in Wisconsin, America's Dairyland
Dairy and Cheese is a constant in my life
Here on Turnips 2 Tangerines it's an ingredient in
Most of my recipes and it's a topic of many blog posts.
Here in Wisconsin,
Dairy and cheese is a way of life for many people.
Cheese is just who we are.
That is the reason why I named the recipe
I submitted to the Grilled Cheese Academy Contest:
....Drum Roll Please....
