Sorry no chestnuts

Dinner is a constant in this house. It happens daily, sometimes more effectively than at other times, but this idea is one to keep for a mild  - or down right cold - baking day. Yes, I made this in the middle of the summer. Go figure.

Vegetable - Corn on the cob
Remove the very outer layers of husk, but keep most of the covering in tact. Snip off the silk on the end, if you prefer, to prevent it from burning. Heat the oven to 350F. Roast on a middle rack for 30 mins. Then eat!

Fruit - Mixed fresh and roasted goodness
Roast sliced plum, pitted cherries, and grapes for 15-20 mins at 350F. Add fresh blueberries and strawberries. Then sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg. drizzle honey, stir, and eat! Tasty!

Main dish - Roasted turkey and bacon sandwich
Prep the turkey and roast (my Mr. did this bit, so I didn't catch the details, but my guess is 350F for several hours, depending on the weight of the turkey), but, the kicker here is to lay strips of bacon across the breast for added flavor and juiciness. It was tasty! Basting occasionally during cooking only improves the outcome.

When it's cooked, slice the turkey into sandwich size pieces. Spread the best bread available with mayonnaise that has a dash of balsamic and chopped fresh basil, top with turkey, and lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, sprouts, or your favorite sandwich item, and eat! So good.
