I eat it with green onions and green olives on the side.

“Sara Lee Cherry Pie topped with Cool Whip.
There is just something about having a pie that almost tastes homemade all to yourself for under $5.
A one-to-one ratio of pie to cool whip is ideal.”

Just the classic sandwich.
The oil from the cheese and butter is heavenly and is my definition of comfort food.”

I use white bread, American cheese, and whatever chips I have lying around.
