Those of you who work from home, do you guys ever skip lunch? I feel like I do this ALL the time. It’s like a vicious cycle. If I eat breakfast, I ultimately skip lunch. If I skip breakfast, I’m thrown completely off, and end up eating way too much for lunch and then I’m sleepy and physically drained by 4 pm.
I’ve been trying to stay on course. I feel like I made all of these New Year’s resolutions to stay on a stricter schedule this year, but I have been failing on all accounts. I don’t know if it’s because it’s cold and gets dark at 4 pm, but I am so tired all day. I feel like I get plenty of sleep, but am still so drained, and I think the fact that I’ve been skipping meals has a lot to do with it. These past two weeks I’ve been trying my hardest to force myself to eat lunch, whether I’m hungry or not, and I have to say it’s been helping!
Grilled cheese has become a staple lunch item for me lately. While I try to keep it on the healthier side most of the time, sometimes I just want to splurge (especially on Fridays). This chicken cordon bleu grilled cheese is one of my new favorites. I’m a sucker for chicken cordon bleu, but let’s be honest, it takes a while to make. Grilled cheese is the perfect alternative in getting that classic flavor without all of the work!
Add these chicken cordon bleu grilled cheese sandwiches to your weekly lunch or dinner menus and pair it with an IPA. You will be surprised at how well the bitterness in an IPA compliments the extreme savoriness that is this sandwich. I hope you guys enjoy!

OMG! This sammich speaks to me, loudly! And that dunk in the tomato soup?! YAHS!!
Oh that looks so good! You’re right…it IS hard to regulate eating when you work at home. The struggle is real. Your sandwich helps!
Great twist to a classic grilled cheese.
Oh I can’t tell you how much I love this recipe! I love gourmet grilled cheese! I usually skip breakfast or lunch…if I eat both, I am pretty much useless by dinner time. LOL And I would also be useless if I had an IPA at lunch. I had a glass of wine with dinner the other night and I was down for the count. Anyhow…can’t wait to try this!
These sandwiches look so CHEESY delicious! Love your photos! :D
Oh girl I never skip…ha! My stomach reminds me!
