Panini Sandwich by Bridget

Just before making them to panini sandwich
Just freshly cooked
Finish product

Our yaya still hasn't come back yet from her day off....and the feeding every 2 hours didn't really give me much sleep.  Good thing my sister was into cooking so much.  She made us these yummy BCT (bacon, cheese, tomato) panini sandwiches paired with Italian roast coffee, which was just perfect!  Thank again! =)

Ever since I tried the ham & cheese panini sandwich of Seattle's Best, I've always made my sandwiches this way.  It looks more presentable and much easier to eat, less messy.  I've always wanted to get a panini sandwich maker, but it takes so much space at home so not practical for me to get one until we have a bigger place.  So, here's a tip of how to make a panini sandwich when you don't have a panini sandwich maker.  

Just stack in all the cooked ingredients that you want to be placed inside your sandwich, then use a pan with those lines in them (it's worth getting one, you can also use this to properly mark your steaks).  You know, resto style with all those criss-cross designs to make your food look more elegant and professionally done.   =)  Anyway, going back after stacking the sandwich, use a turner to flatten your sandwich and I use a plate to help it keep it flat.  You should form a "T" with the turner and the plate.  Umm...hope you understand what I mean, feel free to send me a meesage if you don't.  After a minutes, flip the sandwich to properly mark the other side too....and viola! You got yourself a homemade panini!  

This makes your sandwich much presentable!  I usually serve some Original Salted Lays Chips on the side.

Dinner by Bridget

Eggplant with Ground Beef

Homemade Corn Soup

I'm so lucky that I have my sister with me.  Bridget prepared this for me and my husband.  It sure was yummy.  Very easy to prepare too.  You can email her at co.bridget@gmail.com in case you want to know how she did it.  

My yaya went day off and I was too tired to cook already.  I had to prepare food for my toddler where I prepared vegetable puree & beef broth (I use kenchi or shank part) to be mixed with rice so he can easily eat them.  I usually prepare several types of broth and mix them up with veggies so that our son, Kasey, would eat something healthier (less salt and other preservatives).   I'll try to post how I prepare and store them in the freezer so maybe some of you guys may find it useful.  Till then.  =)
