Chloe Yates sent us this recipe for Texas Sheet Cake.
Now this recipe has a couple of items that are unclear to us. One is the amount of butter used, she mentions sticks rather than an amount. And a pound of powdered sugar? seems like a lot of sugar. I am assuming this would be icing or confectioners sugar.
We've sent an email to Cloe asking for clarification. If we get it, we'll make corrections if any. If we don't hear from her we may just remove this recipe. If anyone else can clear this up please send us a note here.

Cory Bixler says this is a recipe for a quick and delicious lunch that puts any deli to shame!
Ingredients and Instructions:
- 1 sandwich wedge (french, itallian, any kind of bread you want)
- Tomato sauce
- sliced ham
- sliced turkey (what ever meats you want....this is what I like)
- mozzerlla cheese
So I start by cutting a v shape in the top of the bread ( instead of cutting it in half) I lay the meats in the v. sprinkle on a little oregano, then apply the tomato sauce. (not a ton but a decent amount) cover the top of it with sliced mozzerlla cheese and some more oregano.
If you want it a little more spicy just throw on some red pepper....sooooo goooood!
Throw it in the toaster oven for about 6 mins until cheese is kind of melted and the bread a little toasted and you have a delicious oven baked hoagie from heaven!
