Occasionally I have to remind myself about proper Latin syntax when mixed with American English.
i.e. stands for "id est", which means "that is" or "it is". For example:
I am going to make the best grilled cheese sandwich, i.e., with grilled bacon.
e.g. stands for "exempli gratia", which means "for the sake of example" or, in modern use "for example", e.g.:
I am going to make the best grilled sandwiches, e.g., grilled cheese and smoked ham, roasted vegetables and bacon on toasted panini bread, or grilled portobello mushroom with red peppers and eggplant sandwich.
