Popping back in briefly to let you all know I'm still around, but swamped beyond belief. It'll probably be a couple more weeks before things are back to what passes for normal around here. :-)
I did want to share a little about my weekend, though! We had our dear friend, "twriter", over for dinner. He brought potatoes (which we rarely have - loved the tiny fingerling ones, it's like eating a bunch of potato skins!) and sausages and cheese and obscenely huge steaks and we had a BBQ. I now remember why Standard American Portion Sizing (SAPS) no longer works for me. (Go ahead and use it along with the Standard American Diet acronym - you know you want to!)
So anyhow, when our appetites finally returned this afternoon, Mr. Handsome-and-Handy came up with a brilliant use for the leftovers we didn't send home with our friend. Those being a mess of grilled peppers and onions and about 6 ounces of steak. We cut up the steak and he added garlic and cumin to it, and he chopped up the peppers and onions a bit smaller than we had for grilling. He heated up part of a jar of queso sauce, put it all together on a low-carb wheat tortilla, and voila!
Cheesesteak tacos! (Or, edited as above, I suppose that should be "Cheesesteak Tacos in Spaaaace!")
They were really tasty. Definitely a good excuse for making extra grilled peppers and onions, not to mention steak. I suppose we could healthify it by making our own healthier version of cheese sauce, or even just throwing some shredded cheddar on top.
Definitely a good tip, Pubsgal! A reminder for me to take the time to grill up some mushrooms and onions to fancy up the meat once in a while!
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry you are so swamped. But very happy to hear from you. That picture was funny.
