Why is food such a comfort to me? I eat it when I’m happy, when I’m sad and, well, too much. {giggle}. Food is also something that can easily trigger memories, right? Some good and some bad, I presume.
Unfortunately, I lost both of my grandmothers a few years ago within a couple of weeks. It was horrible. They were both amazing women — and cooks. You would never be disappointed by what was set on the table at grandma’s. One of my absolute favorites from my Grandma Voorhees (my mom’s mom) was her Pizza Bread. I need to share that with you at some point too. Yummy! It’s also incredibly easy, delicious and uses the same ingredients!
Anywho, I thought it would be fun to put a spin on my grandmother’s recipe and share this yummy goodness with all of you! I love the punch of flavor the Mezzetta products add to this sandwich too. Mezzetta has been a staple in our pantry for years. I could eat a jar of Roasted Red Peppers every day {hee-hee}.
Ready? Let’s get cooking, I can’t wait to make this pizza panini recipe with all of you.
