LWC- Anyone Care for a Panini





Lisa's Weeekly Coffee


By Lisa Sandrino





Anyone Care for Panini



Panini's are in! There are many ways to make panini's. They can be served hot or cold, they can be savory or even sweet. One can create their own panini based on their taste and style. I personally enjoy a healthy style panini rich with my favorite veggies though I have have to admit that at times I crave for something sweet just like the Nutella Strawberry panini below.
Enjoy your Panini!
