Happy Saint Patrick's Day - One Year Later!




Well, I actually realized that although I took a brief hiatus, I have been posting to this blog for over a year! I only noticed it because I made corned beef this past weekend and I remembered my post about it a year ago. Crazy how time flies.

Anyhoo, this year I made the corned beef, but we skipped the boiled dinner and went straight to the Reuben. Now, this definitely deviates from the Irish because the Reuben was created here in the US. There are two different stories, but neither of the possible creators was Irish. Oh well, the stomach knows what it wants and it wanted the combination of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing (low fat of course)!

No crazy rules or recipes here. I followed the instructions on the package of corned beef and even bought one with the little flavor packet included so super easy. I layered the ingredients and toasted on both sides. Yum. Sorry about the picture, I knew it would not last long if I tried to wait until after I plated it!
