This Wichcraft recipe was featured in our local newspaper a few weeks ago as part of a sandwich recipe, and I've made it every Sunday afternoon to get it ready for our Turkey Sandwiches with Avocado, Bacon and Balsamic Marmalade that my son takes to school and I take to work. To make the Wichcraft sandwich, you use a sandwich roll or ciabatta bread cut in half, place turkey slices on bottom half, top with Onion Marmalade, bacon (I use turkey bacon), sliced avocado, and then spread mayo on top of the rolls and serve. It is MARVELOUS!

After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
