When the recipe calls for "Swiss Gruyere"and your budget says, "Cheddar".



For dinner last night I made french onion soup (you can find the recipe for it in my recipes page under: "Simple French Onion Soup").  It is always a big hit, and quite healthy too.  One of the only ways that I can get my two year old to eat onions.

One of the things that I like most about French Onion soup is that you don't have to be exact.  For instance, I can't always afford the cheeses that you are suppose to use.  In the above photo the cheese is cheddar and swiss and it still tastes great!
