All I can say today is yippee! Well, I guess there are two things I can say: Yippee, I am off tomorrow and here’s a recipe for a fantastic panini:

Jalapeño Turkey Club Panini

2 pieces whole wheat bread

1 ½ slices Swiss cheese

8 slices shaved turkey

1 T chopped tomato

1 slice bacon or turkey bacon, cooked and chopped

5 slices pickled jalapeño peppers

2 sprays olive oil cooking spray

Assemble as a sandwich, with the cheese forming the first layer on each slice of bread. Spray the outward-facing sides of both pieces of bread with the olive oil spray and either cook in a panini maker or sear on both sides in a frying pan. Mmm! Mmm! Good!

By the way, I hope everyone had an absolute fantastic Christmas and New Year! My family celebrated our son’s first Christmas in Washington this year and it was awesome! Not only did we get away from Alaska and enjoy some “warmer weather” but we had some great food and family fun.
