A Three Cooks One Kitchen edition of how to make grilled cheese sandwiches on the grill. I swear our monthly cooking adventures are titled "Three Cooks One Kitchen" even though so many of our recent installments have been all about the grill.  Living in the Midwest, we have to take advantage of the warm Summer months and [...]
