Another Episode of Man vs Woman – Cheese Steak Style

May 15, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Saturday my Husband took my car to work to make sure it was in tip top shape for me to drive to Lake Tahoe.  I thought I would surprise my wonderful Husband with a surprise dinner that I know he will love.  This dinner became the man versus woman meal!

I swear when my Husband saw his sandwich his heart skipped a beat.  He walked in the door and I said your dinner is on the counter.  His eyes lite up a like a kid on Christmas.


If he ever had any doubts that I don’t love him, I think that all changed when he saw this sandwich.  It’s loaded with about 1 pound of thinly sliced sirloin, peppers, onions and a cup of shredded Pepper Jack Cheese.  He said I don’t think I could eat all that.  What?  This is the man who can eat 6 hot dogs in one sitting.  I will admit I knew he wouldn’t be able to eat the whole thing, but he did eat half  and he carefully wrapped the other half and put it in the fridge.  I know what he’ll be eating for dinner tomorrow.

I know what your thinking!  Health conscience Jennifer is feeding her Husband that kind of sandwich.  I figured he deserved a treat since he did eat salad the other night.  But for me I made a Philly Cheese Steak Salad and boy was it good!!  Dam good, I tell ya!

It has been soooooo long since I had a Philly Cheese Steak!  I decided on a salad instead of a sandwich because I ate a piece of Strawberry Chiffon Cake with my lunch and I was trying to watch my carbs, plus I wasn’t super duper hungry.  However I did manage to eat the whole salad.  You don’t see it here, but I added more peppers, onions and jalapenos to the salad.  It was mighty amazing!  The cheese melted when I topped it with additional peppers and onions.  Oh man!!  I may have to steal his half of the sandwich and turn it into a salad for lunch tomorrow.  By the way I will be making this again very soon!!

My salad my seem a little high in the fat category, way more than I care for, but I decided to use full fat cheese. When you have a good meal like this, sometimes you just have to splurge and have fat!  The meat is a little high in fat to, but the calories were only 180 for four ounces, which I thought was pretty good.  I used Trader Joe’s Thinly Sliced Sirloin.  Everything else is low calorie. The salad in general was only 300 calories.  Not bad for a Philly Cheese Steak Salad.

Now I know next month is Father’s Day and every once in a while our men need a good sandwich, so I am going to include the recipe to make the man sandwich.  Just take in mind this in NOT healthy, repeat not healthy!!  The calories are through the roof!  You may fall over when you see it!! Remember my Husband only ate half.  For him thats ok, since he does physical work all day and he works up an appetite when he gets home.  Now you can see why he’s not the biggest salad fan.

    That was so cool of you to surprise your husband like that. I’m impressed that he stopped at a half a sandwich though. My Hubby would have pushed through the pain, finished it, then complained about a stomach ache for hours. 🙂

    Both sandwich and salad look amazing.

      I’m kind of surprised he didn’t try to eat it all but I think he said he ate like 3 slices of pizza for lunch that day. Amazingly enough the sandwich tasted just as good the next day! The bread didn’t get soggy at all.

    Whenever I see a recipe for a Philly, I have to check it out. Yours looks and sounds great. Not bad for a West coast version. As a neanderthal, I LOVE meat and potatoes so salads typically dont make it to my plate. BUT, this one is indeed a nice compromise.

      lol, you made me laugh! I have to agree on the West Coast they don’t know what a Philly Cheese steak is! Every time I go to Philadelphia, this is the first thing I get to eat! I love these sandwiches or salads! Nothing like melted cheese over meat! Yum!!

    I would love to be able to put that on my table. But, alas, grandkids would want it in a tortilla minus the onions, DH would want it in a tortilla and the peppers left out, I would make it a salad and DD, well, she might, then again, might not want any of it. Whats a poor wife/mom/grandmom to do? Hee hee, guess whats for dinner tomorrow night.

      lol! My theory is, if you can’t please everybody, make it the way you want it at least you’ll please yourself! Don’t worry, they’ll eat it or at least pick out the onions and peppers. he he!!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
