Paninis and a Princess

Last night we had paninis for dinner.

They are a favorite of ours, so easy and so satisfying :)

Have any of you made paninis?...What kind of ingredients did you use?? We usually use the same every time, but I'd love some other ideas :)

Here's what we put on our paninis:

- bread

(you can use just about any kind...we love Dave's Killer Bread)

- mayonaise

- fresh greens

- cheese

(I love fresh motzarella, Adam likes his with pepperjack and sometimes sharp cheddar)

- tomatoes

- seasoned, grilled chicken breast

- PESTO

(it's all about the pesto)

We put it all together...and put it on our George Foreman, works just like a panini press! :)

** there's no need for butter on the outside of the bread (like you would grilled cheese) they're just wonderful without it!

Let the sandwich(es) grill for about two minutes (check a few times to be sure the bread is grilled to how you'd like it, not burnt;)

And ENJOY! We had ours with a side of delicious steamed cauliflower, brocoli, and grilled summer squash :)

The picture is dark, but you can see that Adam is chowing down :)

And the princess part of this post...well, my sweet Adam came home from work SO excited for a surprise he wanted to show me on his computer. I sat on his lap with my eyes closed as he clicked away on his computer.

"Open up!" he said.

TANGLED was starting to play! That boy is just too cute! He's known since November, when I first saw that movie, that I've been excited to see it again with him! (we're big Disney fans:) So when he found out you could pre-order it on iTunes two weeks ago, he got it and has been waiting to surprise me <3 After Brooks went to sleep, we watched it, snuggled on the couch...we laughed a lot, and I even cried. (I get really emotionally attached to movie characters, even cartoons)

All in all, it was a wonderful night :)
