Grilled cheese croutons

So as I wander aimlessly through the grocery store looking for dinner. I always seem to get lost in thought. Its hard to focus on what I really want when there are so many different options and its hard to decide between a good idea and something I really want to eat. Of course there are some honey crisp apples I get distractd by all big shiny and they smell wonderfully sweet. And apples and peanut butter sound good but its not quite what hits the spot. My mood always plays a part in some of the food I buy. Tonight feelin  particularly low energy and just off I decide on grilled cheese and tomato soup just a basic go to when I don't feel good. I get my ingriedents and of course have wandered around the store fo 45 minutes looking at everything.
As I get home and finish cooking it dawns on me grilled cheese croutons something I have done for years but never realized.  I like them in small bites rather than a big sandwich. Good idea as I sit with a big bowl of soup and my crunchy cheesy croutons floating like little sponges waiting to be rescued in a sea of tomato soup . All I can really do is smile. It's the little moments like this that remind me why I love food so much.
