cooking tips

• For minimal mess and a faster way to cook, use your George Foreman Grill, or panini press.
• Stone fruit is any fruit with a pit in it. You can always use ripe peaches, plums, or nectarines, for this recipe.
• Chihuahua Cheese can be hard to find except at farmers markets or cheese shops. If you aren’t interested in looking for it, substitute shredded mozzarella or your favorite mild cheeses.
