Grilled Cheese and Squash

The other day we had soup and sandwiches.  My kids loved Grilled Cheese and I thought I'd make it just a little healthier.  I've mentioned before that they aren't big fans of squash so I will roast it, puree it, freeze it, and then I pull it out and then add it to other dishes.  Usually things like soup or macaroni and cheese.  Well, it also works well for grilled cheese.  I adapted this from the book Deceptively Delicious

doesn't that look good!

Ingredients:
butter
bread
cheese, shredded
squash

Directions:
Heat a skillet on the stove on medium low heat  If your bread is already sliced, good for you, otherwise slice it.  I was using some bread I had just made, so I had to slice it myself.  Mix your cheese and squash together.  I didn't measure anything, I just knew about how much cheese I needed and added some squash to the mixture.  Butter one side of a piece of bread.  On the other side spread some of the cheese/squash mixture on.  Top with another piece of buttered bread, butter side out.  Brown in skillet.  Turning once to brown both sides. 

Verdict:  My kids didn't even know the difference.  My husband said he thought there was a slight texture change, but it was still good.  I think he was just really happy to have homemade bread that he didn't care I put squash in the grilled cheese.  We personally like to have grilled cheese with soup so that we can dip our sandwiches in the soup.
