On a hot summer day the thought of cooking is incomprehensible. This is when the freezer section of my grocery store becomes my best friend.

Sometimes you just don't feel like a hot side dish. For those times, a simple side salad with low-carb croutons is the perfect answer.

Kentucky Hot Brown is a traditional recipe for a hot turkey sandwich. It can be served as an entrée or a sandwich.

It's delicious any time of year, but remember it's also a great way to use up your turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving.
