For a change of pace, I thought I'd post some of the meals my guys enjoy on a cold winter night--or actually any time of year.
My grandma's Garlic Tomato Cheddar Fondue is mentioned in the 3rd book in my Sweet Small Town USA Series: Welcome Back to Apple Grove. Much to Patrick Garahan's surprise, he enjoys it, but still needs meat with his dinner...sound familiar? LOL!

Grandma's Garlic Tomato Cheddar Fondue
Ingredients:
large block of Cheddar cheese, cut into small chunks
1 large can (29 oz) crushed tomatoes (no salt, no spices)
6 to 8 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 tablespoons of dried basil
Splash or so of white cooking wine or red--your choice
2 large loaves of Italian bread, cubed
In a Dutch Oven, heat the crushed tomatoes to a boil. Add the minced garlic, basil and splash or two of wine. Heat back to boiling. Add the cubed cheddar cheese and stir still smooth.
Remove from heat and serve over the cubed Italian bread, or if you're like my hubby, he likes to spear the bread cubes and swirl it in the pot of fondue at the table. ;)
Enjoy!
