Last Minute Christmas Gift

If you are still doing your Christmas shopping and need a good (practical) gift for the woman in your life, I have the perfect present. (Please get her something personal too. All practical gifts=not good) The best small appliance out there is the Cuisinart Griddler. There are several Cuisinart Griddle items out there so please make sure it's the "Griddler".

This appliance can be used daily. I wanted it two years ago and I loved it so much that my mom and both my sisters now have it. Interchangeable plates allows for griddle or grill. (Mine is always on the grill, I think I have only used the griddle once) I use mine mostly for Panini while Becca uses hers mostly for an indoor grill. It is as versatile as you are ;)

My two favorite Panini are as follows:

Sourdough bread very lightly buttered on the outside (I Can't Believe it's not Butter-Lite)
Tomato
Fresh Mozzarella
Pesto (I like making my own Pesto but recently I tried the Costco Pesto and it was fantastic as well)
Grill for 5 minutes (Yes, all it takes is 5 minutes)

Sourdough bread very lightly buttered on the outside (I Can't Believe it's not Butter-Lite)
Diced Green Chili
Cheddar

Deli Sliced Roast Beef
Grill for 5 minutes
