National Grilled Cheese Day came and went last month, but who needs a holiday to indulge in the all-time fave sandwich? In some households, every day is National Grilled Cheese Day. What can you do? It's just so easy and the little ones can't get enough!

But sometimes, you want ... okay, you need to mix it up. Have no fear, because here are seven easy, speedy variations on the classic grilled cheese sandwich that you're bound to salivate over.

Lettuce is one of those food staples you always buy and then a few days later, it sits there beginning to brown and wither in the fridge, and you're like, "Why did I buy that?"

Still, you hate to  throw away a perfectly good bag or head of lettuce. That would be wasteful. So here find 5 ways of using up that lettuce!

What is going on here?Happy National Grilled Cheese Day! Did you know that's today? Like I need another excuse to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich. As long as you're not lactose intolerant there is much to love about this non-holiday. Much indeed.

We already shared with you a full platter of scrumptious grilled cheese sandwiches ideas. But did you know there was a dark side to the classic? There are those who would twist the sandwich into something so unholy, so revolting, it's almost unrecognizable. Witness: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Gone Horribly Wrong.

Happy April everyone, it's official: Spring has sprung! Are you feeling fresh and green yet? Maybe it's time for a little more salad in your life.

Yup, it's time to leave behind those sleepy wintertime casseroles and have a little something crisp, light, and colorful. All those happy salad vitamins feel so energizing, don't they? It's just what we're craving right now and there are so many tasty salad possibilities out there. Here are the best salads you could be noshing right now!

The name of McDonald's newest sandwich sounds like a joke -- The McRibster. The ingredients would be even more laughable ... if they weren't so horrifying.

It's like the cult classic McRib, but more in every way. No mere pressed pork made to resemble a rib cage, the McRibster raises the bar by adding cheese, bacon (mmm, pork on pork!), and -- if you can believe it -- even more. The official description from Burger Business describes it as containing the following: "“juicy pork, bacon, pepper-Jack cheese, and crunchy iceberg lettuce, red onion, delicious honey-mustard sauce and spicy sweet chili sauce.”

And oh yeah, that pork is juicy because it's breaded and deep-fried. I can hear the sound arteries clogging and waistbands expanding now.

Oh lord. Someone at Marsh Grammar School in Methuen, Massachusetts should be in big trouble after putting KKK Chicken Tenders on the school lunch menu. But not just for the obvious reasons -- which are REALLY obvious to anyone with a fourth grade education.

Needless to say, when children brought home the lunch menu, parents were scared to send the little ones to school the next day for fear of finding some racist, violent chicken tenders on their lunch tray.

Even though the intention behind the KKK tenders was not to actually promote discrimination, murder, and hatred, saddling a menu item with KKK was still incredibly stupid.

Let me just start by saying I like Chipotle. I really, really like them. When it comes to premium Mexican-American fast food, I think they're the tops. And they're really trying to be the "good guys" of the fast food world. I love that. But is a Chipotle burrito like an iPhone? Come on, now. That's just crazy talk.

But somebody went there.

Last week in Slate, Matthew Yglesias compared Chipotle to Apple. Apple as in the company, not the food. He said, "In many ways, the Chipotle burrito is very similar to the iPhone." Look, I know iPhones. I use one every day. But the Chipotle burrito is no iPhone.

After years of freelancing at home on the "mommy track," I returned this fall to full-time, drag-your-butt-into-the-city-every-day work. And the biggest shock to my system? Not the busy pace, not the grueling subway commute, and not the inconvenience of changing out of my pajamas every day. No, the biggest shock was how much money I started shelling out on lunch.

Did you know that two-thirds of American workers spend $1,924 a year on lunch? CHOMP! I think I just lost my appetite. And the worst part of it is -- just going by taste, it's hardly worth the money.
