Super easy dinner that took less than 10 minutes and didn’t destroy my health journey 💪🏻

⭐️ Lunch meat of choice (we used turkey, ham, pepperoni, and salami)

⭐️ Provolone cheese

⭐️ Italian Dressing

⭐️ Bread (I use low carb)

⭐️ Toppings of choice (banana peppers, seasoning, tomato, onion, pickle)

Assemble and place in a panini press (toast in a skillet if you don’t have a press)
