Gruyere Grilled Cheese with Blueberries Recipe

This evening before dinner, I stood at the kitchen sink and watched out the window as the day’s shadows crept across my yard. It was only weeks ago that I stood at this same spot marveling at how bright it was at six in the evening. The kids had just been released from school and summer stretched before us, seemingly endless. Yet here I stand, just days before school starts up again. Soon our lives will revolve around the ringing of first bell and the release of students as they tumble across the lawn at the end of school day. After school, it’s a chaotic symphony of homework, chores, burning energy and dinner before the evening crescendos into bedtime routine.

The days are getting shorter at a time when we so desperately want to stretch minutes into hours. When every last task must be completed before the beginning of the school year. When every ounce of summer must be wrung from the few short days we have left. Tomorrow we will wake up bright and early, even earlier than we will rise for school, so that we can fit in one last day at the zoo with friends. 

But today, I stand here preparing one of our last easy summer meals. Something we can eat while we visit the park behind our house, something a little strange. It’s a recipe that made my daughter wrinkle her nose at first. She pokes the block of cheese to my right as it rests on the cutting board and informs me that it stinks. “It does, but the tastiest cheese usually stinks,” I reply back. She would be singing a different tune as she took her first bite into what Hellman’s calls a “strangewich”, a simple recipe that’s a little odd, but tastes absolutely amazing.

    Oh my! That looks really good! I am going to make this for my husband’s brunch. He loves grilled cheese sandwiches and to have it with blueberries (another one of his favorites) is going to make him flip! thanks for the idea.
