The best turkey sandwiches – a lunchtime favourite. Some of my best school days were when my mom made these thick and peppery turkey sandwiches on Texas toast. So good.

Recipe: Flat Roasted Chicken
Flat roasted chicken – the first time we had anything like this was in Mexico. Have you seen the deliciously flat Mexican chicken post? If not, you should check it out.
