Monster Reuben!

On our recent Disney trip, Jackson experienced a Reuben sandwich . . .and he was hooked!  The next day, when he ordered his own and his sister took a bite . . .she was hooked!  The third day, they shared a sandwich.  This only could mean one thing; I would make Reuben sandwiches for dinner when we got home!

I want to share with you our recipe, complete with homemade 1,000 Island dressing.  I don't really care for 1,000 Island dressing so if I'm going to eat it, I at least want it to be worth eating and the store bought stuff isn't really "it" for me.

1,000 Island Dressing

1 cup mayo
1/4 - 1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dill relish
2 TBSP finely chopped onion
1 hard boiled egg, chopped (I prefer it small chop)
Couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce

Mix well and refrigerate.


Reuben Sandwiches


Gooey, yummy Swiss cheese!
Dark Rye bread
Butter
1,000 Island Dressing
Pastrami (I used turkey pastrami)
Swiss Cheese, grated
Sauerkraut, WELL drained

Butter 1 side of bread with butter.  Lay in pan.  Spread a bit of the dressing on the "clean" side of the bread, top with pastrami, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.  Spread a bit more dressing on another piece of bread and place it face down on the cheese.  Smear a bit more butter on the top of the bread and grill 'til toasty and the cheese is melted.

Begin draining the sauerkraut as early in the day as your stomach can handle!  I opened it and let it drain for about 6 hours.  You want it to be "dry" when you put it on your sandwich.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
