I was craving a grilled cheese.  A grilled cheese is normally at least 14 weight watchers points and possibly more.  Plus it’s not very well rounded.  I decided to see what I could make with what was in my fridge, add some more protein and a vegetable.  It was amazingly delicious and satisfying.

This does have a little kick to it with the hot pepper muenster.  An IPA always stands up great to spicy rich food.  My husband asked around and researched and found an IPA everyone was recommending.  Yes, we are now married now.  We had a surprise wedding at our Bar Food Pairing wedding a few weeks ago.

The IPA is Abita Brewing Company’s Jockamo IPA.  The brewery is located in Abita Springs, Louisiana.  The Jockamo IPA is a year round beer.  It has a strong piney hoppiness to start with and finishes with a more mild caramel maltiness.  There is also some background orange citrus.
