Drop 10 for 10 Challenge (10410)
What was your favorite food of the day?
I had a reuben rollup that was pretty good. We annually make homemade sauerkraut as one of our German family traditions. We took out a quart jar of the stuff and cooked it. While that was cooking, I took some lettuce leaves, spread some Swiss Laughing Cow cheese wedges on it, threw on some tamed jalapeno slices (don't even ask me how that fits with a reuben theme), added a few slices of turkey pastrami, and then covered it with the kraut. I left off the thousand island dressing, but the spread cheese made it taste pretty good.
I was stuffed all day with good foods I've been giving a try. I picked up a few old "Cooking Light" annual cookbooks and I'm planning some new recipies. I'll share anything that I find that might be interesting to our members.
It is so good to feel "back on track".
BUT....One day at a time...

I am making split pea soup tomorrow for lunch all next week.
My wife, Christine, was checking things out here and saw your post. She has talked several times about how she would like to make those sweet potato fries. I'm shopping on Monday and have a strict request to remember the sweet potatoes. That just sounds so tasty. I'll let you know what kind of a vote they get, but I'm guessing you will get two thumbs up from both of us.
Today I'm getting a bit adventuresome and I've developed a sort of spicy coleslaw. I have added cucumbers, carrots, green onions, green peppers. I then used some red wine vinegar along with some cooking wine (just an ounce), some light Miracle Whip, horseradish, salt, honey mustard. I've been hungry for some slaw lately. That sure was good and very filling.
Split pea soup sounds good...yum.

I discovered these little gems at WalMart about 6 months ago. They are a staple food in my ham or turkey rollups. I use the Laughing Cow wedges instead of cream cheese for the filling.
Anyway, tamed jalapenos are just jalapenos with most of the heat taken out. I can pop them like pickles and just love the flavor. If you have any friends *****ALLY like regular jalapenos you may want to be a closet jalapeno eater around him or her. They would probably call us whimps for selling out. My kids were very skeptical at first, but as each one tried them, they liked them and now I go through a jar or two each week. You should find them there in the pickle section of Wally World.
Great...now I have images of miniature cowboys riding around in a pen trying to tame those wild jalapenos......yeeeeeee haaaaaaa.....giddy up....ride em cowboy.......ahhhh.......a tamed jalapeno.

Lol, tamed jalapenos...all an illusion!
In the early days ( sounds pre-historic does'n't it 
) I ate tons of wraps that I used romaine lettuce as my wrapper - would put in a slice of lunch meat ( rare london broil is my fav - then turkey breast ), spread it with tangy mustard, top it with a slice of cheese and roll it all up like a wrap...Great crunch & filling to...Adding it back to my food plan today...

That sounds very good...back to the world of wraps. I've never tried london broil, but will give it a try on your recommendation. I am hooked on turkey pastrami wraps with Laughing Cow cheese in the middle...I think your idea of adding a lettuce leaf may be just what the doctor ordered. You certainly should find success with that formula.
