Sandwich Making Tip
Pork Roast
The pork roast can be baked in half the time when you are in a hurry. Place the roast in a baking pan and bake at 375 F, for 30 minutes per pound. Check with a meat thermometer to insure the pork is done. Should reach 160 F internally.
Sandwich Making Tip
Whole Wheat Flour
Whole wheat flour has the same nutrients and a good amount of fiber since the the bran is included with the flour when it is milled.
