I told you yesterday that the crustless cauliflower quiche was on the delicate side and needed more zing. So I cooked up two pieces of bacon with it š
But it still needed something:
At lunch I decided to do one of the “extreme” rides and picked one that was 10.5 miles – when I looked down at the hill climb on the screen it didn’t look too bad, but what I didn’t realize is because its such a long ride, a 1/2 mile hill climb doesn’t look like much on the screen! It was tough – the pacer bike beat me by 8 minutes – but it was a good workout.
Have you been on healthy yum lately? I kind of forgot about that site, but yesterday saw a post from a girl who made a meatless reuben – she just used more sauerkraut – a girl after my own heart!
I had a turkey reuben for lunch – 2 ounce rye bread, 2 ounce smoked turkey, 1 ounce swiss cheese, 1/2 cup sauerkraut and 1/2 sliced green apple. I loved this combination. The salt from the cheese paired well with the sauerkraut. I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray and Pam to fry it up.
My store had cut up chicken for $1.79, so whenever I see that I think “buttermilk fried chicken.” I marinated the cut up chicken in buttermilk, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper overnight. Then it was just tossed in seasoned flour (I eyeballed it) and then fried in our deep fryer. Because our fryer holds the temperature so well, it didn’t taste greasy at all.
If you live in the NW suburbs of Chicago, you could have come over for dinner last night – I made 10 pieces of fried chicken for 3 people!
My plate:
And since I still had the fryer out, I may have made some munchkins with some of the leftover donut dough!

BSI UPDATE:
There appears to be two concurrent BSI contests going on at the same time. I apologize for any confusion this has caused. This weeks hostess according to me is the Southern Cookbook who chose butter. However, Chilli & Chocolate is also hosting this week with pistachio. My solution is to let Southern Cookbook finish this week – and then we will extend Chilli & Chocolate’s pistachio as the hostess for next week. Does that sound like a fair solution?
Apple with your turkey rueben? Interesting. I’m not a big saurkraut person, but I can see the apple working with the turkey & cheese for sure š
Munchkins! I didn’t know you have those too. Naturally, we use a different name for them in Finland: “munkki”. š
MMMMmmm…fried chicken…it’s been a long time since I’ve had it and my mouth is watering looking at your pictures.
My challenge update is posted at http://finallyfiguringitout.blogspot.com/2010/08/quit-update.html
Hope you have a great weekend! I’m bringing a jar of salsa to VT with me this weekend – I can’t wait š
That fried chicken looks like a worthy splurge to me!
now i know what to do with my huge jar of ‘kraut! that combo sounds perfect.

You chicken looks insanely delicious! And homemade munchkins – what a treat!
Thanks for your comment on my blog š I go to that store all the time, but didn’t think to look for the creamer there!
I’ve been scrolling through yours for a bit, and OMGoodness my stomach is growling!!! LOL, I’m going to have to come back and look some more after I eat something!
I LOVE taco bell sauce, I even buy the little bottle from the store, but it never tastes the same as from the packets!!! My fiance yells at me when I put it on my eggs… he just doesn’t understand hahaha š
It’s perfect on eggs! š
