Reuben Stack

Reuben sandwiches are one my favorite foods. Following a LCHF eating plan, it makes it difficult to eat reubens. Rye bread and thousand island dressing are carb-loaded. So...how to meet my craving. I decided to try making a reuben stack.

Reuben Stack
4 slices corned beef
1/2 c. sauerkraut, rinsed
2 slices Swiss cheese
1 T. mayonnaise
paprika

1) I start by rinsing my sauerkraut. Why? I think it removes some of the bite, but keeps the taste. Don't rinse it if you don't want to, it's up to you.
2) heat 1/2 cup of the sauerkraut in the microwave for 45 seconds or so, to take the chill off. (I have an old microwave. I paid 10 bucks for it 20 years ago. Maybe yours is more powerful and you don't need 45 seconds).
3) Lay the slices of corned beef on a plate, spread the sauerkraut over it, and top with the Swiss cheese. Microwave until the cheese is melted.
4) Spread mayonnaise over the top and sprinkle with paprika.

I absolutely loved it!

Cauliflower pancake

This morning, I threw together a quick "cauliflower pancake."
 I shredded a half cup of cauliflower on my box grater, mixed in an egg and whole milk mozzarella and seasoned it with salt and pepper. I cooked it in butter in a frying pan over medium heat. I topped it with herb butter and ate it with some sliced pastrami.

Cauliflower Pancake
1/2 c. grated cauliflower
~1/3 c. shredded mozzarella (I prefer whole milk)
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 T. butter


1) Mix all together in a small bowl.
2) Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. When the butter is good and bubbly, put in the cauliflower mixture and spread around to make a pancake. As it cooks, the top will begin to bubble and the edges will dry slightly. Flip it and cook it a few more minutes.
3) Top it with herb butter and enjoy!
