Well, we are well underway in the Meatless March challenge! Mr. B is doing awesome and I’m super proud of him! Although there have been a few conversations about how great a juicy steak or some shrimp would be. 
Oh and there was the night I had to break Mr. B’s heart and inform him that he couldn’t get crab rangoons. He has made it much longer than I give him credit for. (which he kindly reminds me of)
We tried some new things this week and discovered our favorite meatless dish to date! It’s a philly cheese’steak’ and is amazingly delicious! We enjoyed it so much we had it twice this week! We also have roasted green bean and asparagus to perfection! It was a tasty food week around here! So tasty, I’m going to share a recipe with you all!

I’m okay about my eats this week. Thursday was the worst day at work and I was w/ a client at the ER for over 3 hours. Which meant no lunch and that equaled lots of snacking. There was also some not needed snacking after dinner most nights. Oh well, there’s always room for improvement!
Now, I promised you a delicious recipe! I bring you the meal that has graced our menu twice this past week!
Philly Cheese’steak’ Filling
(adapted from LaaLoosh)
Serves: 4
Simply Filling (count for cheese +1)
WW PP: 3
Ingredients:
1/2 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 slices reduced fat provolone cheese (Sargento brand is great!)
Directions:
1) Spray a large skillet w/ olive oil spray (I use a mister) and heat to medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until slightly brown, about 5 minutes
2) Add mushrooms and green pepper, cook until tender, about 8 minutes
3) Sprinkle vegetables with flour, tossing to coat them
4) Mix in broth, soy sauce, and pepper, cook a few minutes more to thicken sauce
5) Turn off heat, add cheese slices, covering w/ lid to aid in melting the cheese
You can have on a bun if you prefer (PointsPlus will be higher) or just eat it without one, which is what we did. I even added it to my scrambled eggs on Friday morning. It is super delicious and you don’t miss the meat at all!
Any exciting eats for you this week?
Here is one we’re going to try this coming week!
Vegan jerky, heard of it? Ya, me either! I found it yesterday while discovering a local health foods store! We shall see if it’s any good!
