Gluten-Free Vegan Grilled Cheese

A lot of people think I only eat salad and steamed broccoli when they first find out about my diet. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth! My diet is full of healthy and delicious meals that are super quick and easy to make! This grilled cheese sandwich is one of my (and my dad’s) favorites!
