If you’re craving grilled cheese, this recipe for Low Cal Caprese Grilled Cheese really satisfies. Plus, you can use up all the garden basil and tomatoes!
I’m a fan of those shows on television in which a group of restaurant experts rushes in to save a failing business, takes one bite of the food, vomits in the bathroom, and declares the place a disaster. We’re shown just how disastrous the business is by watching mobs of customers readying for a food fight when their drinks are late or their burgers are under cooked. Then we see a miracle happen; within 48 hours, the restaurant or bar is completely revamped, lousy cooks and servers are fired, and the place is a stunning success.

I adore fresh basil. This recipe looks fabulous.
I love fresh basil, too, Karen. Sometimes I grow too much, but then there’s always drying it! Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.
I never use low fat cheese. If I am going to have cheese, I eat the real thing. I just don’t do so very often. Basil is my favourite herb too. I assume you know Basil means King in Greek? I am going to try chopping my basil leaves and freezing them in ice cubes.
