Happy Galentine’s Day!!

(insert: chest bump)

Last year was my first year to celebrate this girl power holiday. GAH. So fun. I made Blood Orange Bourbon Fizz with Fried Sage cocktails and danced around with my hands in the air. Wait. You’ve heard of Galentine’s Day, right? If not, lezzzz me’s explain, mmkay.

Galentine’s Day is a special, Katie-Perry-hear-me-roar-woman holiday created by the effing hysterical TV folks over at Parks and Recreation. If you need details, this video will explain everything. In a nutshell, it’s a way to celebrate all of our home-girl friendships. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyways, to celebrate this pink driven “tine” holiday, I decided to make something cheesy and chocolaty. This sandwich is a no-fly zone for Mr. B. He doesn’t partake in sweet and savory mixing. It’s a constant struggle in our household because he is also a sectional eater. Someday I will get him to turn, someday (cue maniacal laugh).

I am kind of smitten with this sammie because you can make it for yourself or make a bunch for your favorite gals! And the best part, it takes like 2.2 nano seconds to make, which means more time for giggle juice!

Happy Galentine’s Day!
