This writing life is busier than I ever thought it would be.
Whew! What ever happened to closed doors, quiet contemplation, and a maid to clean the bathroom?
Oh, wait. That's fiction, isn't it?
Don't think I'm complaining, though! Oh no! This is my dream job, and I'm loving it!

But while I'm furiously writing away to meet a deadline at the end of June, my family still wants to be fed. The cretins!
So our meals have been simple, quick, and easy. This one is a favorite!
Philly Beef and Cheese Sandwiches
(makes about 4 sandwiches)

These aren't the famous Philly Steak and Cheese, because...well...the steak is ground up into hamburger. But they're pretty good!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 oz. sliced Monterrey Jack cheese
salt and pepper to taste
deli rolls or hot dog buns
Brown the ground beef until it's crumbly and no longer pink.
Drain the excess grease, and add the garlic, onion and green pepper. Cook until the onion and green peppers are tender and flavorful.
Add the cream cheese, and cook together over medium-low heat until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese.
Spoon the mixture into the rolls. Put the slices of Monterrey Jack cheese on top of the meat, and stick them under the broiler just until the cheese is melted.
Mmmm... Quick and delicious!
Here's my Trim Healthy Mama version. I used a low-carb tortilla instead of a bun. I put the ground beef mixture on half the tortilla, broiled it to melt the cheese, and then folded it over. Perfect :)
Instead of potato chips, I had mine with celery sticks - just not in time to make it into the picture.
