When the weather gets cold outside all I want is a nice HOT meal to keep me warm. Tonight I was all about a hot sandwich and a nice big bowl of soup. The meal warmed me to the core, which is good because tonight’s lows are in the low 30s.. brrr…
The soup was this great can of Amy’s Low Sodium Chunky Tomato Bisque.
I picked this can up on sale at Whole Foods this Saturday (2 for $4.00.. woo hoo!) and really wanted to give it a try. The soup was nice and chunky but just a tad sweet for my taste.
The soup was perfect for dipping the great sandwich I made to go along side it.
The George Foreman did a great job of grilling my fancy Grilled Cheese.
I can never just have a plain grilled cheese so of course I had to kick it up a notch. Between the two slices of Whole Wheat bread I had Reduced Fat Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese, Sweet Potato and Spinach. It was great!
This dinner was the perfect cold weather meal. It was wonderfully flavorful and took the chill out of the air.
With a great dinner I also had a great dessert. I had 1/3 of this fabulous Dark Chocolate Bar.
You can never really go wrong with chocolate. 
TIme to unwind in front of the tv, I’m a big nerd who DVRs Lifetime movies and I’m watching a cute one now called “7 Things to Do Before I’m 30″ Who doesn’t love a good soppy Lifetime movie?
Good night everyone! Be sure to bundle up, its cold outside!

Love the sandwich – who doesn’t enjoy the comfort of melted cheese, mmmmm. Have a great night Meghann – stay warm.
I never thought to use my George for a grilled cheese. Great idea! I wish it was in the 30′s here..it is currently -9.5 degrees.
i <3 lifetime movies. And soup and a hot sandwich is perfect for cold nights, brrrrrrrrrrr
Stay warm, Lifetime movies are the absolute best!
I lovveeeeeeeeeeee Lifetime movies!!! I watched it ALL.THE.TIME. in college on Sundays while studying and writing notes! My friends used to make fun of me . hehe.
That sandwich looks delicious. Even though I just had dinner, now I want a grilled cheese!
Tomato soup + grilled cheese is the best! I would looooooove some warm soup right now. I’m at a workshop for work and the room is frigid!
I can’t believe how cold it is in Florida! But at least you had a perfectly toasty dinner & rich dessert for warmth
Love the addition of the sweet potato. Yum!
yes, very cold down here too in the glades.
love the soup and sammie…and the chocolate of course!
gotta love lifetime sappy movies!
that sammy looks incredible!!! and i’d rather be in FL now… i’d be in shorts!
Grilled cheese with sweet potato – that is freaking brilliant Meghann. Ahhh, tomato soup and grilled cheese – that takes me back to my youth. What a great meal for a cold night!
That sandwich sounds absolutely delightful! I will totally write down that combo so I can try it. Yum!
i know what i’m having for lunch tomorrow!
Wow! That is cold for Florida! I’m going out on a limb and applying for a job down in Tampa. Sometimes I feel like I want to be somewhere with a beach nearby.
You sandwich looks really good! I would have never thought to put sweet potato on a sandwich.
Sweet potato in grilled cheese? Sounds awesome! And looks good too.
Your sandwich looks great! I love the addition of the sweet potato.
This looks like my kind of meal – especially for how cold it is outside!
It is currently -12 where I am. What I would do for low 30s! I would go for a long run
dinner looks good. I always use the George Foreman for my sandwiches, it works great!
Lifetime movies AND warm cozy food = great night in. I have some personal Lifetime faves – 15 & Pregnant and A Secret Between Friends (aka: Lexi Anorexi). I can’t believe it’s that cold in FL!!!
I’m a sucker for those Lifetime movies too. They have been previewing one that stars Sigourney Weaver that looks good.
Looks like a perfect dinner for this weather!! I love the addition of sweet potato to your grilled cheese!!

What a perfectly comforting meal!
I LOVE sappy Lifetime movies! It’s a guilty pleasure!
Great sammie – not sure about the addition of sweet potato though!
I have a can of that soup in my cabinet right now! I haven’t felt very inspired to eat it yet, but I know it’ll (obviously) be great with grilled cheese… hmm… I’ve already had dinner but that sounds good right NOW! ha.
Hope you enjoyed your movie!
That is a fantastic-looking grilled cheese sandwich. Yum yum yum! I hope you’re coping with the cold!
I love that soup from Amy’s!! If you’re looking for a way to lessen the sweetness, I have tried adding spinach and sun dried tomatoes in the past and it tasted awesome.
I need to make grilled cheese again! It’s been ages!
I had tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner too
Grilled cheese + tomoato soup = awesome! The Foreman is great for making grilled cheese fast
I really like that soup too, but agree, it is a little sweet. I just added some veggie broth to mellow it out.
Ultimate comfort food combo, tomato soup and grilled cheese! Nice job!
That is one of my favorite soups!
I am so adding sweet potato to a sandwich!
Comforting meal!!
It’s funny how your definition of cold is our “warm days” lately. Yesterday was like 10 degrees in Boston. Crazy!
Your fancy grilled cheese looks delicious and that chocolate looks like the perfect way to end a meal. Yum!
That sandwich looks SO good! I still haven’t tried sweet potato on a sandwich yet, but I need to do it soon.
Tomato soup + grilled cheese = always great
That chocolate bar looks good! I’ll have to look for that kind.
I’m totally with you on the soup front…the second I heard a cold front was coming through last night I knew that pea soup was on the menu.
chunky tomato bisque is by far the BEST flavor of amy’s soups.. good choice! they have a low sodium version which tastes just as great.. you don’t even notice the difference.
low 30s? LOL I wish for that right about now.. its 10 degrees outside. 10!!!! Everyone is walking around looking like marshmellow people because we have on so much clothing
I really need to try that sandwich combo – your picture makes me HAVE to HAVE it.
