I know I say this a lot, but I only say it when I truly mean it…so I’m going to say it again…
Tonight’s dinner was absolutely amaaaaazing.
And if you guessed Panini was the menu item of choice, then you were right on target!
I took out the good ‘ol panini maker for tonight’s leftover chicken dinner. I tried to incorporate as many of my favorites into one sandwich, with the addition of a newcomer…but I’ll get to that in a sec.
On the side, I enjoyed the rest of my roasted broccoli. (I’ll definitely be making that again.)
Oh yes, and Cody also enjoyed some of his leftover chicken tonight, too.
So for my panini, I started out with some Farmers Market whole wheat bread, and piled it up with leftover roasted chicken, reincorporated sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, sautéed red onion, basil pesto, and one other secret ingredient…
The flavors on this thing were just incredible, and I’m pretty sure that I have this special secret ingredient to thank for that…
I’ve had this in the fridge since last week and have been dying to try it on something, so I knew tonight would be a safe bet.
Actually, last week, while I was browsing through Facebook, I happened to come across a “Question of the Day” that Chavrie was doing about your favorite way to enjoy goat cheese. Well, it turns out that they selected one random fan to win some fresh Chavrie, and guess who it was???

My favorite way to enjoy cheese is definitely a grilled cheese sandwich! SO many good combos :)
I love crumbling blue cheese on my salad… I could eat that everyday.
My favorite? That’s like asking a mother to choose her favorite child! I love cheese on just about everything, but I think my favorite way is crumbled goat cheese on pizza with olive oil, garlic, sauteed spinach and fresh tomatoes… I can’t wait for summer tomatoes to make this pizza again!
Cheese makes everything better. Got to have it on burgers, wraps, salad, and of course pizza and macaroni. Delish.
I’d love to add some cheese to a nice, big green salad! Yay to crumbled cheese!
My favorite way to enjoy goat cheese is on an everything bagel thin with an egg, it’s delicious!!
Your dinner looks awesome! I made amazing paninis last weekend- need to share that recipe!
I love that brand goat cheese! It’s so creamy! My favorite way to enjoy cheese is with something sweet. I love the sweet and savory combo!
I love goat cheese on anything…sandwiches, salads, pizza. But it is totally awesome in an omelet with some basil or rosemary folded in!
i love grilled cheese sandwiches…and crackers and cheese is always great!
My favorite way to enjoy cheese is nice, big, healthy salads. I had blue cheese on one today! I’ve never had goat cheese, but would love to try it!!
Cheese is my favorite food (I’m actually eating some mozz. cheese right now as I type this!). My favorite way to eat cheese is in a grilled cheese sandwich (surprise surprise) with mac&cheese and nachos a close 2nd and 3rd :)
i love any cheese in the form of a grilled cheese sandwich!
National grilled cheese sandwich day was yesterday! I obviously celebrated loyally.
Melted inside a tortilla! YUMMMM quesadillas :)
My favorite way to enjoy cheese is in a salad! I love feta in a salad yumm :D
I’ll eat cheese on just about anything! Salads, soups, sandwiches, crackers, a spoon…you name it, I love it :)
I love goat cheese! I think it might be my favorite kind of cheese.
I sprinkle it on salads, toss it with sundried tomatoes and pasta, cook it in omelets, and spread it on crackers- just to name a few!
I love dips that include cheese!
I love brie cheese baked in the oven with crackers to spread the cheese on — I have never made it but my mom does a delicious job of it :)
I love goat cheese on salads…with fruit and nuts!! YUM!
Though it sounds cliche, cheese on crackers with wine is divine! Can’t be beat. But I do love me some gooey cheese falling off a big ole piece of a deep dish pizza :-) My mouth literally just started to drool.
I love making grilled cheese with tomato soup!! yummy
Yum! I had goat cheese on a toasted bagel, drizzled with honey this morning for breakfast.
I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like. Serious Love.
I have recently discovered my love for feta.. I love it on salads, pastas.. really anything!! so yummy!!
Definitely good ‘ol mac & cheese, extra on the cheese please!
I love goat cheese in pasta- yum!
One awesome way is to mix a bit of honey with Chevrie, spread over a crostini, and top with roasted beets!
My favorite way to eat cheese is out of hand. I’ll just cut a piece and put it in my mouth. Sometimes, especially if the cheese happens to be particularly soft or runny, I’ll put a generous amount of cheese on a small bit of crusty bread (it’s really just a cheese delivery device).
I love grilled cheese sandwiches! I also adore feta on salads.
Mmm, cheese! Definitely one of my favorite things in life. To me, nothing beats macaroni & cheese OR nachos piled high with cheese and jalapenos! Of course I would pick the not-so-healthy foods! :)
I think my favorite is the old standard-grilled cheese, but I love cheese in just about anything!
My favorite way to enjoy cheese? This is hard! Love goat cheese & feta on salads! Love goat brie as is. But I’ll have to go with goat cheese & mushroom goat sandwich as my favorite ;). YUM Or with the best pasta I had in a restaurant… goat cheese, sun dried tomato & artichoke heart linguine. SO GOOD.
I just don’t have a favorite way to eat cheese lol. But as you can see, I seem to have a thing for goat cheese :).
<3 Sweet Tooth Sweet Life on Facebook!
I looovvve me some stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese! So delicious!
I love to eat sharp cheddar cheese sliced from a block with a ritz cracker. I don’t buy either of these items because I’d eat it all the time!
cheese melted on toasted garlic bread and cheese on pizza are my absolute favorite ways to have it-yum!
LOVE that pic of Cody with his little furry belly hehe.. toooo cute! :-D
Goat cheese and feta are my favorites!!! I love goat cheese on salad w/ sundried tomatoes…that has to be the best combo EVER.
OMG, an easier question to answer would be how do I NOT enjoy cheese! It’s an addiction:
Smeared on bagels, crumbled in salads, melted on sandwiches, drizzled on popcorn, in string-form, and basically, just by the shredded-handful!
I love cheese!! I love melty, gooey cheddar grilled cheese sandwiches! I also love crumbled feta or goat cheese on salads! I love a big wedge of cheese with a nice glass of red wine! I just love cheese!
I love cheese on……EVERYTHING! No really, I do!
just a regular mozz string cheese for me, please! YUMMM!
My favorite way to enjoy cheese is MELTED! Doesn’t really matter on what but I love me some gooey melted cheese :-)
I can’t live without cheese! Simple cheese and crackers is one of my go-to snacks. We have Chavrie all the time here since my bf’s mom is lactose intolerant so she goes for the goat’s milk cheeses. It’s delicious!
I love cheese on a good panini!
And I’ve liked STSW on FB for ages! :)
Cheese…how do I love it? Let me count the ways! On salads, pizza, sandwiches, with fruit, on bread, on pasta, PLAIN…! How do I not love it might be an easier question!!
pizza, sandwiches, salads – cheese goes with EVERYTHING!
and i’m a fb fan :)
This is an awesome giveaway :)
My favorite cheese is goat cheese and I love to eat it on top of fresh brushetta!!! Yum!
Yummy!! I love to eat cheese straight out of the package! It doesn’t need to be used in any recipe, just cut up and ready to put in my mouth!
I recently discovered goat cheese and I’m loving it!
grilled cheese is the best!!! Especially melted goat cheese with honey!
P.S. I just became a fan of “Sweet Tooth Sweet Life” and Chavrie on FB!
I LOVE cheese on anything… Especially gooey cheese pizza!! :)
I am obsessed with paninis lately, so I’m going to have to say on a panini! Or with a nice glass of wine. Mmmm . . .
I will eat cheese on anything! nom nom nom :D
I love adding pepperjack cheese to egg scrambles!
I really really love feta on pizza… sooooooooo good!
Straight out of my hand!!
Ummm….do you recall my love affair with this very goat cheese??? It is what I topped my portabella burger with last night. What I used in my spinach + goat cheese meatballs. What I use in my egg scrambles. Oh, Chavrie goat cheese how I love thee. I would adore this prize!
And of course I already like you on Facebook. What’s not to like? :)
Love feta cheese in a wrap, salad or sammie!
Liked Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life on facebook
Liked Chavrie on facebook
That panini looks so amazing. I’m stuck in my office right now…what I wouldn’t give for a panini machine!
I am a cheese lova as well. Frankly, similar to chocolate, I feel that everything tastes better with cheese. Since I’m a carb lover though, I gotta say that the best way is on top of bread. I love me some grilled cheese :-)
My absolute favorite way to enjoy cheese is in a sandwich with smoked salmon, goat cheese and BBQ sauce. The combo is delicious!
oh my gosh, I love cheese. I think my favorite way to enjoy it is melted with apples in a grilled cheese or quesadilla. Delish!
I <3 Chavrie. I never buy it because it's so expensive, but when I lived in Paris Chavrie (and many other cheeses…like Boursin) it was ridiculously cheap! I ate it with everything! It's hard to choose a favorite way to eat cheese…but I think what trumps it all is a great glass of wine, some fruit like figs and grapes, perhaps some nuts and a selection of regional cheeses. Yum!
cheese oh my goodness on everything! But I think just straight on crackers is best
I love Brie on soft French bread! Yum!!
1. I love goat cheese on my salads! It gives salads an extra “umph!” : )
2. I also “liked” Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life on facebook!
lately, i am loving FETA cheese on a greek salad!
I put cheese on everything, my favorite way though is probably a grilled cheese sandwich.
I love cheese when its warm and melty inside of a breadstick!
But since I try to stay away from these.. I love laughing cow cheese on saltine crackers. Simple but dee-lish! :)
Oh my gosh I love cheese! My favorite way to enjoy it? That’s so hard to decide – I think my fave way to enjoy cheese would have to be as a snack. There are so many varieties and ways to enjoy cheese as a snack, you can’t go wrong!
i love it simple …. cheese on crackers is the BEST! i’m partial to Triscuits (only three ingredients!) and goat cheese is my absolute all time FAVE!!!!!
my fav way to enjoy cheese is by the spoonful when making CREAM CHEESE FROSTING!!! :)

goat cheese and eggs !
Oh my gosh; I don’t think I can pick one way I like cheese – I love it on everything. Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, grilled cheese, mac and cheese, pizza, etc. It’s all good to me! I even like cheese in desserts (along the cheesecake and cannoli lines). Yum!
I love my cheese with crusty, warm bread.
Oh man do I love cheese!!! I am somewhat lactose intolerant but I still enjoy cheese in moderation. My favorite is good ol cheese cubes…and a little wine never hurts!
In a quesadilla, and then under the broiler. Divine! Melted cheese = best. food. ever!
…and I gave your blog props on facebook!
I love cheese so much! I have to say that I love plain old pasta with butter and parmesan cheese! I also like it on my sandwiches and paninis :)
Melted cheese is heavenly…in a toastie, omelet, pasta bake, whatever- as long as it’s nice and gooey, it’s so divine! I’ve also been loving eggwhite, cheese, and jam sandwiches lately- YUM!
I love goat cheese! Especially on salads :)
As long as it’s cheese- it doesn’t matter how it’s prepared…
I actually don’t like cheese plain but I love a little bit smeared on some crusty bread. Yum.
my favorite way to eat cheese… is on PIZZA!!!! pizza, oh how i love thee.

It’s a tough call – either a classic grilled cheese or cheese and crackers! But some baked brie is never a bad thing!
I love goat cheese — I like it on crackers or bread with some honey or jelly (like blueberry or even pepper jelly), yum!!
And I like STSL on FB =)
My Veggie Burger is naked without a slice of swiss to cover its patches of corn, black beans, and onions hiding in the pattie!

Fondue! Or nachos! Or with French bread! Ah ANYWAY!

I love cheese on Pizza the best! :)
A true love of mine? Cheese mixed with… OTHER CHEESES! I love buffalo chicken dip with cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and a little creamy mozzarella. I love pizza with mozz and parm! I love a quality cheese plate with brie and gouda. Heavenly cheese!
There is not a cheese in the world I don’t love!! My favorite way to enjoy cheese is an old fashioned grilled cheese sandwich!!!! :)

Grilled cheese sandwich all the way!!
Hard to pick just one way, but I love blue cheese inside a juicy burger.
I LOVE cheese – any and all variety at any time of the day! But one of my favorites is port wine cheese spread on top of simple butter crackers – yum!
I love all cheeses. I actually made my bean dip with goat cheese in it . EVERYONE loved it! I would love to have some free coupons.i t is a little pricey cheese. Thak you for the opportunity to snag some free ones :-)
NO SHAME: I love enjoying cheese, standing up, in front of the fridge. What? like you don’t love a little on the spot cheese snack, too ;)
My favorite cheese is actually goat cheese and I enjoy it best on a piece of toasted baguette with some roasted red peppers and fresh pesto. OMG, heaven in a bite!

My favorite way to eat goat cheese is in dips! I love mixing it with tomato sauce and also honey. One sweet dip/one savory. Both delicious! Great giveaway. :)
I literally will eat cheese on anything. But seeing how it’s almost summer I can’t wait to make my fav: tomato, mozzarella & basil bruschetta!
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/tomato-mozzarella-and-basil-bruschetta-recipe/index.html
The best thing I’ve ever done with goat cheese, and quite possible the best appetizer known to man: Medjool dates. Take out the pitt. Stuff with goat cheese. Wrap in bacon. Bake at 425 until bacon is cooked. Eat. Your life is now complete.
I LOVE cheese — herbed goat cheese is my favorite!! I love it on salads and also on warm sandwiches — it gets delicious and melty!
Grilled cheese! Goat cheese on grilled pizza is also amazing.
Your panini looks so delicious :)
I LUUUURVE every kind of cheese. And its hard to pin down exactly how I enjoy it best, but I probably would have to say in a grilled cheese sandwich. We usually add some tomatoes and spinach but the cheese flavor is not lost on me (or my hunny who is from the cheese state, Wisconsin).

I love to use any soft cheese such as brie, goat or even garlic and herb cheese and make my favorite chicken company dish: chicken en croute ( chicken breast stuffed with cheese, mushrooms and herbs and then rolled in crescent roll rectangle and baked). Easy and delicious. Soft and flavored cheeses work best! Yummy
