Grain-free Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup!

Grain-Free Grilled Cheese- perfect for a rainy Saturday lunch. Recipe for #paleo bread and simple tomato soup on the blog

It’s been a cold, gray, and rainy Sunday afternoon. What do we turn to warm up with? Tomato soup and grilled cheese, of course. Nostalgia at its best.

Dairy was involved in this kitchen adventure- so this meal is better labeled as “Primal.”

It all began with me whipping up some Sandwich Bread.
