Didn't do happy hour this Friday, so I figured I'd make my own little happy hour treats. For the drink I used this recipe. I used the Disaronno I usually keep around for mixing with hot cocoa, some 100% cranberry juice with no sugar added, Ketel One because it's sturdy and trustworthy, and some fresh squeezed OJ we had in the fridge. Pretty good drink... probably not one I'd order at a bar because I'm generally not a fan of sweet or fruity cocktails. But whatever... nice to try something different every now and then.
For the sandwich I used this recipe (love this guy's recipes!!), with some minor variations. I thought I had basil, buuuut I didn't. So I used some fresh mint from our backyard in the pesto instead of basil, and didn't use any extra greens in the assembly. Also, instead of pine nuts, I used pistachios (obvi... this is me we're talking about). I finally got a chance to use the grill/griddle combo contraption I got from Tuesday Morning forever ago before moving out to Arizona, and voila! Shmancy grilled cheese!!
Bon appetit.
this looks sooooooo good.
