Grilled cheese is such a classic, right?
I’ve always loved the stuff but I often am set back to actually make it for myself because the effort of using the stove just seems like too much. Well those days are over my friends.
My life will never be the same.
As I was bringing one of the kids I teach swim lessons over to their mom today, I saw another kid snacking on those cheese and peanut butter crackers that I would love as a kid love. So it kinda got me thinking. For some reason peanut butter and cheese just aren’t that common of a combination. I started to try to think of other things that would be good with cheese and peanut butter. BAM!!! GRILLED CHEESE!!! WITH PEANUT BUTTER! 
Mmmm….pretzels was the other big thing I thought of. Gotta do something with that. 
Anyways…this is seriously one of the best things I have ever eaten. And so easy!!! Get your booty in the kitchen and make up some lunch!!!
Grilled Cheese and Peanut Butter
2 slices of bread
butter
2 slices of cheese
about 2 T. Peanut Butter
- Turn heat on stove to about medium to get it nice and hot with the pan on.
- Butter one side of each piece of bread. Then spread peanut butter on one or both pieces of bread (depending on how peanut buttery you want it) on whichever side doesn’t have butter. Turn the heat down to low on the stove. Place one piece of bread on pan with butter side down closest to the heat. Quickly set both pieces of cheese on top followed by the second piece of bread, making sure the second piece of bread has the butter side facing up.
- Let sit for about 2 minutes or until golden brown (I like mine pretty toasty, if you couldn’t tell so I had my heat a bit higher), flip when cheese starts to get soft or melty. When both sides look golden brown, or to your taste, take off the stove and serve!
Ok so I decided to save this until the end and I would just like to say, I’m not much of a person who is a downer on here, but this is kinda a special situation. About a week ago, I stumbled across a blog that has really touched my heart. It scares the heck out of me. Please just read it. This blogger could really use some prayers. The Glass Divide is the name and link. Seriously, just look and pray super hard.

I’ve never thought to add peanut butter to it…. Very creative!
…and I took a look at ‘The Glass Divide’ I felt my heart cry out for her. I know what it is like to be completely broken on in the inside and feel like recovery is defeat…. but I always had logic inside that wanted the best for me, even when I didn’t want it for myself. I’ve had a serious eating disorder and feel that each day is recovery. Gosh, I will be saying a lot of heart felt prayers for her…
It’s devastating to read how messed up our thinking can get. I’ve gone through it as well, not nearly as bad as hers but still I have felt it and it really is kinda permanent but we all work through it, thanks for such a heartfelt response!
this is my childhood come together! with a side of spaghettios and 4C iced tea mix…i would be very happy
That looks seriously good! Definitely going to give it a try!
This is GENIUS! How come I have never thought of such a wonderful combination before? I used to put a slice of cheese on all of my peanut butter sandwiches as a kid
You are a GENIUS, Casey. I am making this for lunch tomorrow.
