Easy Pesto, Mozzarella, Tomato Panini!

Hi Loves!

I took a quick jaunt over to my local Target and picked up a panini press! Can I just say, I don't know how I gone so long without one! I got the Bella Chrome Panini Maker on sale for about $25 and so far I love it. Lately my favorite panini to make is an easy pesto, mozzarella, tomato panini on sourdough or ciabatta bread.


To start off, I like to choose my bread. For paninis, thicker breads work best so it doesn't get soggy with the cheese and pesto. I prefer ciabatta bread or rolls, but I also like sourdough! To create this delicious masterpiece, I start off with Trader Joe's Fresh Pesto on both sides of the bread. Then I drizzle a little balsamic vinegar on one side of the pesto bread and added a slice or two of the Trader Joe's Fresh Mozzarella Log. Add a slice of tomato then top with the other slice of bread with pesto and put in panini press for a few minutes until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.

New Apartment Mini Tour!



Hi Loves!

This past month has been hectic! I have moved to a new city and new apartment near the beach and I am so excited to share it with you. I'm finally all moved in and unpacked and just got wifi a couple of days ago (meaning many more blog posts to come!) So I've snapped a few pictures on my phone for a mini tour of my humble abode to share with y'all. A more complete official apartment tour will come in the near future, but I have been wanting to catch up with all of you in the meantime.
