Spinach and Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Green Grapes

Yes believe it or not we are going to make some grill cheese sandwiches on the grill. These sandwiches are delicious. The grill gives the bread an excellent crust as well as adding flavor.

Pull out some fresh spinach, fresh basil, some roma tomatoes, and some low fat shredded mozzarella. Wash spinach and chop off the ends, wash the basil and chop, slice the roma tomatoes put to the side.

Wash green grapes put to the side and fire up the BBQ and coat the grill with some pam.

Take some wheat bread and spread Smart Balance butter on the outsides.*my favorite bread is Organic Multi Grain with Omega-3. Place all ingredients for the Grill cheese on a cutting board and take to the BBQ Grill. Place butter side down and add ¼ cup Low-fat Mozzarella then place 3 or 4 pieces of spinach and sprinkle with basil. Place 4 slices of roma tomatoes covering the slice of bread add another ¼ cup cheese and place the other slice on top.

Turn the grill to medium and let cook a couple minutes, turn the grill cheese and allow the other side to cook monitoring so it does not burn. Once the cheese is melted and the bread toasted they are ready.

Slice the grill cheese and put on a plate.

Portions:

Male: 1 Grill Cheese and 2 cups grapes

Female: 1 Grill cheese and 1 cup grapes

*If want to add meat, grilled chicken goes well on the grill cheese, add 3oz for the male portion and 1oz for the female portion.

Enjoy and have a happy 4th of July.
