Spend Less Time in the Kitchen with the IMUSA Stainless Steel Panini Press! #spon

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to IMUSA for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Now that the weather is warmer and our schedule is busier than ever, I'm always looking for ways to cut down the time I spend in the kitchen.  I recently found an amazing kitchen tool that drastically cuts down on food prep time and allows for me to prepare a decently healthy meal that doesn't sacrifice flavor and is perfect for eating on-the-go.  Introducing the IMUSA Panini Press:



The IMUSA Panini Press allows you to make restaurant-quality paninis – as well as grilled sandwiches, veggies, pork chops, meats, and more! A preset temperature ensures every sandwich you grill will be toasted golden brown to perfection!


The floating hinge on this panini press means you can grill a variety of things evenly since it allows for adjustable cooking heights.
See the quesadilla?


The top of the press lays flat on the surface of the food for even cooking every time!


The press has a polished stainless steel exterior with cool touch handles and features easy to understand power and heat indicator lights.


This panini press has a non-stick surface which makes for super easy clean up.  It heats up super fast, in about 2 minutes.  It cooks a sandwich or quesadilla in about 2 minutes, easy peasy.  You can even create gorgeous evenly browned foods without using butter or oil making healthy pressed sandwiches super simple!


We couldn't be happier with this press and have been using it to make quick, healthy paninis 4-5 times a week.  It is a real time saver!

True Jerky makes globally inspired, premium flavored jerky snacks to fuel all of life’s adventures.  True Jerky has an awesome variety of mouthwatering flavor combinations.  Check out a few of our favorites:

The Mountie (Maple-Glazed Turkey Jerky) $6.99

Slightly spicy, slightly sweet...the perfect blend for a jerky treat!

THE OG (Peppered) $6.99

This jerky lover’s jerky serves up tradition with a rich and smoky twist. Fresh garlic and ground pepper activate the taste buds while agave nectar rounds out the flavor with a refreshing sweetness.

THE SINSA (Korean BBQ) $6.99

Sweet and tangy with just the right amount of spice, Sinsa (Korean for “Gentleman”) has a unique, Asian-fusion marinade influenced by famous Korean barbecue dishes like Bulgogi.

The Sinsa blew my mind...delish!

THE OLD FASHIONED (Honey Bourbon Brisket) $6.99


Bring this home grown American flavor with you on Derby Day. Moist brisket cuts are soaked in the pronounced flavors of Kentucky bourbon (the only bourbon!) and fresh honey, for a silky smooth flavor from start to finish.

Each package is about 2 serving sizes.  You will also find a dental flosser in each bag which is a super awesome bonus!
