The Way to a Man's Heart Pizza Subs #recipe #goodeats

Things have been hectic and chaotic in my household in recent days, so it completely slipped my mind to schedule posts. Here's the late The Way to a Man's Heart for today- Pizza Subs, which are honestly just a quick and simple way of having pizza without the hassle of making pizza dough, but so much better sometimes than heating up a frozen (though I have to say DiGorno's Pizzaria pizzas come close to being takeout as I've EVER seen of any frozen brand of pizza- LOVE the supreme one!)

Everybody loves pizza- at least that's my conclusion.

Ingredients-
Hoagie Buns
Pizza Sauce (we love Classico)
Provolone Slices

Favorite Pizza Toppings:
(family favorites)
Pepperonis
Ham
Mushrooms
Black Olives
Green Pepper
Red Onion

Cooked Bacon bits
Browned Sausage or Hamburger
Canadian Bacon
Green Olives
Banana Peppers
Pepperonicini

Honestly the possibilities are endless depending on your favorite topping preferences.

Preheat oven to 350-400º

Slice Hoagies open and spread each side with thin layer of sauce
Layer your favorites and top with Provolone slices and place in oven until cheese is melted and veggies are warmed.

I do sometimes switched to the broil oven option to brown the cheese and toast the crust a little, but that is clearly optional.

Remove and fold together and enjoy!

The Way to a Man's Heart- Taryn's Breakfast Burritos

Breakfast Burritos

In an effort to lose weight and eat better, Hubby and I have started altering our recipes. Next time I fix these, I'll probably substitute TURKEY sausage in place of regular breakfast sausage.- Most everything else would probably still be fine (though the shredded cheddar could probably be exchanged for 2% or low fat/no fat if you can find it)

Have a good MORNING!

Ingredients-

1 medium onion, diced

1 green pepper, diced

1 tomato, diced

½ lb tube of sausage

4-6 Eggs (depending on how much you intend to make)

Salt & Pepper to taste

A few Tablespoons of Milk (I “eyeball” the amount)

Cooking Spray

8-16 oz of Shredded Cheddar

Taco or Picante Sauce

Soft Taco/Fajita Shells (at least a pack of 10)

Directions-

1. In large skillet, brown sausage over low heat, with lid on

2. Drain grease once meat is tender and brown enough to suit

3. Add onion & green pepper and steam with lid on until veggies are cooked to desired tenderness, adding in the diced tomatoes at the end (a minute or two)

4. Set skillet with meat & veggies off to side and bring out another large skillet. Coat with cooking spray & set over medium heat to warm the pan

5. Whisk eggs, salt & pepper and a few Tablespoons of Milk together

6. Scramble eggs in large skillet until done, set aside momentarily

7. Turn burner back down and bring meat and veggies back to it, adding in scrambled eggs & shredded cheese

8. Cover with lid for a minute or two to melt cheese, then stir to combine all ingredients well

9. Scoop appropriate sized spoonfuls onto warmed shells and serve with taco/picante sauce
