Dinner: Philly Cheesesteak was one of my pre-op favorites of course back then I would eat a 12 inch roll with Wise Chips followed up with a couple of Tasytykake Krimpets washed down with a Frank's Black Cherry Wishniak Soda. Now I was happy as a clam with a dollop of my quick saute. Way less calories and carbs but still delicious.
Shelly's Quick Philly Cheese Steak Saute
1 Yellow Onion, sliced
1 Green Pepper, sliced
1/4 pound (about 4 slices) Lower Sodium Roast Beef (I love Boar's Head brand)
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
a few twists of Black Pepper
a couple of slices of Provolone Cheese
Saute the onions and peppers till soft. Add remaining ingredients (except cheese.) Saute till warmed through. Top with cheese slices and place under the broiler till gooey and bubbly.
On days I have more time I make a yummy Philly Cheesesteak Casserole, Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers and Philly Cheesesteak Bites. Can you tell I love Philly Cheesesteak?!
Snacks: Too much Coffee as usual and a bunch of Grapes. I have 2 grape vines at the end of the yard and it's a very good year. I'm trying to eat them before the birdies spot them.
More days in my pouch.
