Philly Cheesteaks/ Cheesy Ham Stuffed French Toast

So it's been a crazy week in my household. Had to take my son to the ER Wedesday for an infection that set into his face he looked like Rocky his eye was so swollen. By the time we got out of their it was late so picked up some KFC on the way home, It tasted good but later on I decided to look up the calories in what we ate..Wow is all I an say. I got the mixed bucket so we had Extra crispy, Original, and Grilled..Should of just stuck to the Grilled thats for sure. A grilled Drumstick is 80 calories, a Grilled Thigh is160 Calories, and A grilled breast is 210 Calories. If you go for extra crispy, the drumstick is  150, thigh 340 and Breast is 510 calories.That's almost double what the grilled chicken is WOW .Just image the total calorie count when you add mashed potatoes cole slaw and a biscuit, You are looking at  meal over 1,000 calories. Almost all of your daily calories in one meal. Next time I will definetly stick with the Grilled chicken only and then make sure I just have veggies with it. So what do you do when you have had a long day and it seems like the drive-thru is the easiest option even though its not the healthies. Well I have a meal that you can cook in about 10 minutes, which if you think about it, is probably the same amount of time it will take you to get to and then thru the drive-thru.
Philly Cheesteaks
3 oz Raw Filet Beefsteak (The ones I buy are sliced thin already)
1 Hot Dog Bun (Look for the Low Cal Ones Sara Lee 80 calories are good)
1-Slice Fat Free Cheese
1/3 cup onions and bell peppers
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Spray a Pan with Nonstick Cooking Spray, Add Onion and Bell Peppers cook for 5 minutes remove from Pan, Then cook thin sliced meat for about 2 minutes. Place cheese on top of meat and cook til melted, Toast bun Then add meat and onion, pepper mixture.. Serving Size 1 Sandwich 301 Calories, 28 g Carbs. 9 g Fat.
This is a great sandwich that will fill you up.
If you want Fries with this Sandwich, Dont buy the frozen ones. Take one Medium Size potato, then cut it into Fry size pieces, put on a cookie sheet sprayed with Non Stick Spray, Spray the pots with the cookig spray then sprinkly with salt cook at about 400 till crispy..These are yummy and the whole Potato is ony 120 Calories. So you can have a whole meal for 520 Calories. If you are sticking to a 1,500 calorie a day diet this is a pretty reasonable meal. If you want to cut down on the Calories you could use Chicken Breast instead of beef and only use 1/2 of a potato..Still Yummy no matter which way you do it.

I know that their are times when you jut have to have fast food. So then in those cases what do you do. Well stay away from the Salads in most places they have over 1,000 Calories. The easiest thing would be to order the Kids Meal, its the right portion. If thats not an option go for the Grilled Chicken Sandwiches without Mayo and take off the top piece of bread.. Taco Bell has a Fresco Menu where they show you the Calories, or Even Subway has A great Menu of Low Cal, Low Fat options to choose from. So you Can still have fast food just choose wisely.
Since I am talking Fast Food Here I have decided to give you another Recipe this one is  a Breakfast Sandwich that is similar to Mcdonalds Griddle Sandwich. One of their Sausage McGriddles without Egg is 420 Calories so next time you are craving that try this one instead
