Roasted Vegetable Panini

 
My new favorite thing.
 
Honest.  Wait… do I say that often?
 
Either way, I really mean it this time. : )
 
I have casually mentioned to my husband that I could be a vegetarian, it really wouldn’t bother me.
(Especially with a sandwich like this!)  He usually stares at me in fear for a few seconds until I start to smile.   : )
