Remember when I told you that we are an over-the-top panini-loving family? That's true, we are.
What I neglected to tell you earlier is that this particular night I was cooking just for my husband and myself.
Yep, 5 giant, loaded sandwiches, just for 2! LOL!
I seriously must see a doctor about the obsession I have for cooking for an army, no matter how many people will be seated at the table!
But, the good news is that we've had plenty of delicious leftover sandwiches to grab and go during the week.
It doesn't get much better than that!!! Nom-Nom!
