“Homemade Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich”
I wanted to create a sandwich similar to what Arby’s sells. So, went to looking for one of the “secret copycat restaurant” recipes. But I came across Homemade Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich.
I went to store, and picked up the items:
Regular hamburger buns ~ sesame seeds really don’t matter that much to me.
Roast Beef Slices ~ Land O Frost Premium
(I already had cheese & fries at home)
Heated oven to 450 degrees. While it was heating, I prepared the sandwiches.
Piece of foil, with open bun in the center. Add in the amount of roast beef (4-6 pieces). Place piece of cheese on top … if desired. Place bun together, and wrap with foil (shiny side in).
We baked these sandwiches for 12-15 minutes Because the meat wasn’t warm enough, even though the cheese had already melted.
My son & I did NOT like the taste of the sandwiches. My husband enjoyed his roast beef & cheese sandwiches.
I don’t like cheese on my roast beef. So, I made mine without the cheese. The top bun was nice & toasted, but the bottom one was wet. (yucky)
I think that next time I will look for a different recipe to create that Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich … hope I find one soon.
I guess it never helps being picky about taste. Sadly, I have found I have picky taste buds.
“What you'll need:
*Sesame seed buns
*Ora-Ida Curly Fries
*Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Shaved Roast Beef
*Kraft singles
To make these:
- Just pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees. Bake the fries as directed on the bag.
- To prepare the sandwich's just add about 6 slices of Roast Beef, and top with 1 slice of cheese.
- Wrap the sandwich's individually into aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 5-10 minutes, or until the meat is warmed through and the cheese is melted.”

DIY Fairy Twig Sofa
Very similar to the Fairy Twig Chair. So, if you have already created the chairs, this will be pretty easy to do.
Items Needed:
Twigs
Hand Pruner
Hot Glue Gun w/ Glue Sticks
Fabric or Felt (optional)
Cut 8 long sticks to the size of the back of the sofa; 2 are for leg & back off sofa, the rest are for the length of the sofa & support for legs.
Cut 14 sticks 1/2 the size of the long sticks. These will be for your front legs, sides for width, support for sofa & across the bench for seating.
Glue 2 of the long pieces to the front legs. Glue 3 more of the long pieces to the back legs.
On the back, glue the sides onto the back, these are at the bottom & middle. I did this on both sides, it makes it easier in the end. (or it did for me, seeing I made 2 of these sofa. These directions are from the 2nd sofa, which I made quicker & easier than the 1st ) I used a close pin to hold this to the edge of the table, if you can do this, you will find you need less hands at this time .
Once this is set, you can glue on the front of the sofa. Glue on one side at a time.
Glue the set support across the seat. This way if anything is sit on the sofa, you will have support & it won’t pull fabric off (if you decide to use fabric to cover seat area) Cut & glue on your seat covering, if desired.
Turn the sofa so the back is upright, and glue on the back.
Complete. Decorate as desired, or just leave as is. They are ready for when you create your Fairy Garden.
