Turkey, Cranberry and Pear Panini

September 21, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday!!!  So glad it’s finally Friday!!  I am looking so forward to Saturday!  I’m taking a food photography class and I can’t wait to learn some new things.  I’m hoping to improve my picture-taking.  I’m just horrible with lighting, as you can tell from yellow toned pictures.  Do you have plans for the weekend?

I was rummaging through my kitchen cupboards looking for something to make for dinner and I found this, hidden in here from last year.  Yes, I checked the expiration date and it hasn’t expired.  I wonder if TJ’s still carries this?  I better check ASAP!!  I forgot how much I love this spread!


I knew as soon as I saw the Cranberry Apple Butter that I wanted to make a turkey sandwich for dinner.  I went to grab my 46 calorie a slice wheat bread that I just bought from Sprouts and when I opened it, the bread wasn’t fully cooked.  It was doughy and sticky.  Ewww!!  That would not make a good sandwich.  I saw that my Husband had the Mom’s White Bread from Trader Joe’s, so I used that instead.  Now this sandwich would taste awesome on cranberry walnut bread or a good seedy wheat bread, but I must admit this sandwich tasted pretty darn amazing on white bread.

Oh how rude of me, I’m talking bread (you know I get side tracked and crazy when I start thinking of bread) but I never told you what kind of sandwich I made.  It’s Italian Turkey, with slices of Asian Pear and topped with Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese and of course TJ’s Cranberry Apple Butter.  This sandwich was sweet, but not to sweet, savory and so delicious!!  I never had this combination together, but I just had to try it!!!  So glad I did, it reminded me of Thanksgiving.  Good ol’ hearty comfort food!  Now, I’m not rushing to Thanksgiving, but I do love the food!!  Believe me when I tell you I am not ready for the holidays!!  Are you??  Please tell me your not.

I made my sandwich in a Panini maker, but this would be so easy to cook in a skillet, like you would a grilled cheese sandwich.  I also wanted to point out that you can save yourself some calories by getting bread around the 50 – 70 calorie range.  Each slice of my bread had 90 calories.  Since I loved this sandwich so much, I’m going to get some wheat bread from TJ’s tomorrow and have this for lunch.  I served the sandwich with some soup to make a complete dinner, but to be honest I could have just had the sandwich and been completely satisfied.  It’s very filling!!!

Speaking of sandwiches I wanted to let you know that my blog was chosen to be a apart of Emeril Lagasse’s Kicked-Up Sandwiches promotion in October.  That means I get to make sandwiches from his new cookbook that hasn’t been released yet and share it with you.  I hopped right on board when I found out it was sandwiches.  I am such a sandwich freak!  I just love them!  I could have one at every meal if I allowed myself too, but I need to watch the bread!  I allow myself one bread meal a day!!  So hard!!  You don’t even know how hard that is for me!!

That’s it on my end!!!  Hopefully next week, I’ll have better pictures for you!!!

Have  a great weekend!!

Toodles,

Jen

    I’m pretty sure the Cranberry Apple Butter is seasonal-I think they put it out late October or early November.

    This looks delicious! I really should not look at your blog first thing as I’m starving before breakfast!

    The Emeril book sounds interesting. I grew up next to the city he was from here in MA so I am curious if he will be sharing any local items from his heritage.

    This looks so good, I think I’ll have to make a vegetarian version.

    Congratulations on getting chosen for the sandwich promotion! How cool!

    Have fun at your class! I wish I could take one too. Your photos are already beautiful. That is so funny, I just made a turkey avocado panini with my George Foreman grill yesterday-I haven’t bought myself an official panini maker yet, but I would definitely use it all the time!

    I made tonight but had to adapt. I didn’t have cranberry apple butter. I used my Walden Farms apple butter (0 caleries), I added dried cranberries turkey and the aged cheddar. I couldn’t find asian pears so didn’t add. It was wonderful.

    Jen,
    This is a sandwich after my own heart. I love finding non-expired jars of yumminess in my pantry. Thanks for giving me the link to include in my upcoming Band Fruit Fundraiser Recipe Round Up! It will be published on 12/4/2013!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
