FRIDAY FARE: Healthy Recipe - Veggie Panini

From guest blogger, Shannon Stahura...

Here is another fast and easy way to get your veggie servings... A veggie panini wrap! This makes a great summer lunch and is even a hit with the kids.

Ingredients:

light wheat flat bread (like a tortilla but a little thicker, found near the bread)
spinach
tomatoes
goat cheese
pesto

Directions:

1. Spread pesto on flat bread
2. Add veggies (if you prefer you can heat them up a bit in a skillet, but not necessary)
3. Sprinkle with cheese.
4. Wrap and heat in panini press or in a skillet sprayed with olive oil or butter for about 2 minutes on each side.

* This combination is my favorite, but you can substitute other combinations of vegetables, and cheese. Another favorite is a caprese wrap with tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil and pesto with balsamic vinegar. For the non-veggie eaters in your family try adding turkey or chicken instead of the veggies. Any way you wrap it ... it is a crowd pleaser!
