recipe: Vegetarian Soy Philly Cheesesteaks

one of my favorite easy go-to dinners when i'm feeling lazy and tired after a long day:  SANDWICHES!

this "healthy" philly cheesesteak is made with Trader Joe's vegetarian soy beef strips, yellow and green bell peppers, and grilled onions.  saute and add seasonings (salt and pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic powsder, etc) and top on a toasted hoagie roll with some melted cheese (i uses low-fat mozzarella--provolone is better!)

recipe: "healthy" philly cheesesteak

as part of our healthy meal plan, i try to incorporate mostly veggies and less of all the other stuff (starches, meats, dairy, etc).  so this healthy philly cheesesteak is mostly green and yellow bell peppers, onions, baby portobellas.  i added a little grilled chicken and some tasty seasonings (garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper).  the secret to a really good cheesesteak is not the cheese or the steak...just make sure you saute the veggies until they are nice and caramelized and soft.  all the delicious natural sweetness will come out of the peppers and onions.  make it lighter by serving it on a toasted wheat baguette (210 calories), one slice of provolone cheese (60 calories), and a couple tablespoons of miracle whip (20-40 calories).
