Pesto Turkey Melts & Homemade Fries

Have you tried making restaurant-style sandwiches at home? It’s not difficult, and the result is delicious, not to mention much less expensive than a night out. Every once in a while, I take regular lunch sandwiches and kick them up a notch to serve as dinner:

Pesto Turkey Melts

I used leftover French bread for this to get the crispy crust and spread a little margarine on like I was making a grilled cheese sandwich. Inside, I spread a tiny bit of pesto on the bread (instead of mayo or mustard), sliced turkey, provolone cheese and roasted red peppers. Cook at medium heat (to brown the outside) until cheese is melted, flipping once. My kids declared these “fantastic!”
Homemade Fries

This couldn’t be easier. I wash and slice some potatoes (leaving the skins on). I throw them in a bowl and toss with olive oil to coat. Then I lay them on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with Garlic Pepper (in a grinder bottle). I roast at 450 for about 30 minutes while I cook the main part of the meal. Better tasting and so much healthier than fast food fries!
