Panini Recipes or Creative Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
NOTE: I made these BEFORE I went Wheat Free.
Soup and sandwich is a quick and easy dinner. There is something wonderful about crunchy toast and warm gooey cheese. I’ve been experimenting with my panini maker. I promised to share recipes. These can be made in a frying pan, Rocket Grill, or panini maker.

What’s you favorite grilled sandwich?
Great sounding menu.
I can’t wait to see how you do your menus in Google Calendar. I tried and well … mine don’t look right.
If anyone has Mac’s iCal you can do a menu in that. Then it’s right on my computer and I can put the shopping list in Stickies and print it right out for the store. If want me to share how just let me know. It’s easy and fast. Shalom!
I agree…paninis are SO GOOD! I don’t have a panini maker but use a regular saute pan and put a heavy pot on top to smash them down as they cook. So good!
I’m coming over to your house for dinner! Those sound great! thanks for the combo tips. I’m loving it and will try the avacado (my fav), tomato and feta soon- they are all in the fridge calling my name! Thanks!
