The experience:
I have been so behind on this blog! Only by a week but still. Last week was super hectic at work (I work at a flower shop) for Valentine's Day so of course I didn't have anytime to make a receipe. Luckily, my boyfriend Dan was a sweetheart and made me dinner that night for Valentine's Day (our first meal he ever made for me: steak with garlic sweet potatoes which I will have to post the recipe!)
Then this past weekend I had recruitment ,other known as rush week, and I got myself sick.
Since I'm still recovering from my cold, I thought I'd make a recipe that would make me feel better. My dad has made this tomato bisque when I have been sick before and it just hit the spot. To add to the delicious creamy tomato soup I made grilled cheese sandwiches to dip in the soup. I didn't add the paprika because I can't handle the heat but added some cheddar cheese on top for extra flavor.
