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 Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
