I have a panini maker myself and have used it for a variety of things, including a couple of the ideas shown here. I think having one is an excellent tool especially for a smaller kitchen (like mine) because of its versatility and what you can use it for when perhaps you have other things going on the stove top as well. It’s also great because it helps minimize what you have to clean up if want to make a smaller meal. Check out these ideas from Bon Appetit!

5 Ways to Improve Your Life in 30 Days: BA Daily: bonappetit.com.

I came across this great blog entry from Bon Appetit today and just had to share it. It talks about just committing to certain things for a month how this can lead to bigger changes overall in your habits. I think it’s worth a try. One of the more important ones I already follow is eating more at home. We cut back and only go out about once a month now and I think we are better for it. I am going to give their other tips a try as well. You should check it out!
