National Grilled Cheese Day #HormelFamily

- brandy3 2 Comments

April 12, 2012 is National Grilled Cheese Day. This year why not spice up your grilled cheese sandwiches.

We received a few Hormel products to help make our grilled cheese sandwiches better. The first sandwich we added double cheese and pepperoni.

 

 

We lightly buttered the bread, put the butter side down on frying pan then add cheese. Put some mini pepperoni on the cheese and cover with another piece of cheese, then the other piece of bread. Flip over and wait for cheese to melt.

This has become a favorite of my kids, they are asking for it all the time.

I also tried Grilled Cheese topped with Hormel fully cooked bacon

Just repeat steps above but add bacon instead of pepperoni

The grilled cheese bacon sandwich was really good too, my kids are considering it a breakfast food now since it has bacon on it.

 

How will you be changing up your grilled cheese sandwich on Nation Grilled Cheese Day?

Disclosure:  I’ve partnered with Hormel Foods as part of the Hormel Foods Extended Family Blogger Program. Throughout the year I’ll be receiving product, coupons, giveaways and promotions. However, no payment was given or expected for posting about the program, and as always, all opinions given here are fully my own. 

 

Easter: Hop Movie Night

- brandy3

We were able to have a Hop movie screening night. We decided Easter would be the perfect night to sit down as a family and watch the movie, since all of our schedules are clear.

My kids and I were able to see Hop in theaters during a birthday party, but my husband has never seen it. They have been anxiously awaiting today to share the movie with their dad.

The movie was so hilarious. E.B Bunny doesn’t want to take over as the Easter Bunny, but wants to become a famous drummer. He sets off to Hollywood, where he meets Fred. They end up being best friends and through all the obstacles become co-Easter Bunnies!  One of my favorite parts in the movie was when E.B pretended to be a stuffed animal, and was making faces whenever Fred’s sister Sam would hold E.B. Then he pretended to be a walking toy that claps his hands, It is so funny and cute.

Release date: March 23, 2012
