Alice, from Dining with Alice, is just being a show-off today!  Seriously…Reuben Donuts?! She is the kitchen star for the local Twin Cities Live T.V. show and rightfully so; she is charming, talented and fun. You’ll be able to catch a new MN recipe from her her on NellieBellie each month. Watch for casserole, cheese, wild rice and things on a stick! Today she’s bringing us a special recipe just in time for St. Patrick’s Day!

Corned beef has become a favorite in our house.  It started with my husband, Will.  We lived in Washington, D.C. in a tiny apartment where you could bounce a bouncy ball the whole distance of the apartment. And the kitchen? Oh, the kitchen. Most houses have closets bigger than that kitchen.  We didn’t have much space, but we had a Crock-Pot and my husband would always buy corned beef and cook it while we were at grad school.  We’d come home and his meal would be ready-complete with potatoes, cabbage and carrots.  The ritual continued through our time there, he’d buy it and cook it in the Crock-Pot and really, what girl can complain that her significant other is making dinner and the only decision is what to drink with the meal?

I convinced Will to move to Minnesota, and one of the biggest selling points was the Minnesota State Fair.  One trip there we had Reuben Bites, a fritter stuffed with all things good, including corned beef.  Oh gosh, was Will in love.  With me, of course but also this fried goodness.  It was a ritual to have them at every trip to the Fair.  This year, Will has made three corned beefs in the Crock-Pot so far and we are only three months into the year.  And this is embarassing to admit, but he just bought two more at the grocery store yesterday. So I see more corned beef in my near future.  I wanted to create a recipe that could use the leftover corned beef and honor our love for the Minnesota State Fair, and what a better way than to make a fried savory donut!  Yes, that’s Minnesotan.
