Arby's Review...

By -
I got the coupon for the FREE Marketfresh Sandwich WYB a small soda -
from their facebook page offer that I had shared - and we tried it today.
The plan was for Miss Sarah and I to share the sandwich and soda,
along with a cup of soup at home.
Our selection was the Grilled Chicken Pecan on bread and ran us $1.47 with the soda.

Disappointed.

There is NO WAY we would ever spend $4.99 on this sandwich -- and here is why:
It was a lettuce sandwich with a little chicken salad.
Seriously.

I would have shared pictures had my camera's batteries been charged so you could
see how little chicken salad was in it.
There was HALF the amount that should be in the sandwich...
and three of the pieces of chicken had to be spit out, as they were grisly.
(that didn't leave much chicken...)
The fruit was fresh and yummy,
but there were three giant leaves of lettuce that buried it.
I removed two of the lettuce leaves and will use them in sandwiches tomorrow - a plus, LOL

We usually don't get soda
(I'm too cheap, it flares my arthritis and it's bad for the teeth)--
so the Dr Pepper was a rare treat.

I really thought half a sandwich and cup of soup would be enough for dinner -
but had to add more. I pulled out string cheese and veggie chips.

Bottom line - go for the freebie before tomorrow is over, but have a back up plan.
It's too bad - it is Sooooo close to being a great sandwich!
Maybe your store makes a better one,
I just know what I can buy for $4.99 - and could do a lot better.

    I LOVE their roast beef and was really looking forward to this

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
