Sopressata Panini (The Best Sandwich I Never Had)

January 17, 2011

As my husband and I were contemplating which favorite sandwiches we would contribute to my upcoming Panini Happy Guides to Great Sandwiches, we remembered one in particular…a hot sopressata sandwich with mozzarella and pesto from our babymoon trip three years ago. An amazing sandwich that I never actually got a chance to try myself. Once [...]

Pulled Pork Cornbread Panini + WIN a Windows Phone 7!

November 15, 2010

Today’s post is sponsored by the new Windows Phone 7. If MTV’s Cribs ever visited our house I would have to dash over to block their cameras from filming the fridge. No meticulously organized shelves full of Vitamin Water and Heineken here. At any given moment, we’ve got half a dozen little Tupperware containers of [...]

A Guest Post By My Better Half

October 17, 2010

My husband ventures to cook only a handful of times per year, so when it happens I clear the way. This time, not only did he feel compelled to recreate a mouthwatering sandwich he saw Bobby Flay demonstrate on TV…he also needed to write about it on my blog. Everyone, please give a warm welcome [...]

It’s Super Bowl week which means it’s time for my annual team-themed panini – that is, sandwiches inspired by the two cities’ teams that are playing in the big game. First up: Indianapolis! I’ve never been to Indy, but I’m pretty decent with the Google and it tells me that breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches are [...]

Leftover Turkey Panini: Turkey Cuban Panini

November 26, 2009

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My second of three panini ideas to use up that leftover turkey – Turkey Cuban Panini - was actually inspired by Bobby Flay, my off-and-on chef crush. I had the chance to meet him about seven years ago on a visit to Mesa Grill in New York City. [...]

Sausage, Peppers & Smoked Mozzarella Panini

November 3, 2009

It’s not that I don’t like football – it’s just that I have a hard time getting really into it. My mom always ribs me for routinely mixing up offense and defense when I was the JV cheerleading captain in high school. Details! I do enjoy the excitement of the game, though. They use some [...]

Panini Pops!

August 12, 2009

I don’t know why I didn’t try this sooner! Do you follow Bakerella and her ridiculously cute cake pops? Her creativity is truly boundless, I always look forward to see what cuteness is coming up next. It was her venture into pie pops earlier this month that sparked an idea in my head – if [...]

I’m happy to report I’m finally moving out of the “total exhaustion” stage on into “pretty tired.” Now that the thought of [...]
