Philly Cheesesteak

 The men-folk in the family love this recipe.  They all agreed I should make it weekly.  ha.  It takes a little extra effort to make, but it's well worth it.  Obviously I have to double this recipe for my herd.  

• Hoagie rolls, sliced in half length wise and toasted with garlic butter
• 2 TBS olive oil, seperated 
• 1 sweet onion, sliced into strips
• 1lb thin cut ribeye steak, trimmed and sliced thin
• salt and pepper to taste
• 8 slices mild provolone cheese
• mayo

1. Toast hoagie rolls on skillet with garlic butter until golden.
2. Add 1 TBS oil to hot skillet and cook sliced onion until carmelized. Remove from skillet.
3. Add remaining 1 TBS oil to hot skillet and add cut steak and sprinkly with salt and pepper to taste.  Leave the meat undisturbed for a bit before tossing to cook thoroughly.  Cook the meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
4. When the meat is cooked, toss in the cooked onions.  Top with provolone cheese.  Once it's slightly melted, toss it in to mix the cheese with the meat and onions.  
5. On the toasted hoagie rolls, add mayo, then top with meat mixture.

 Just as delicious as it sounds.

1. In a mixing bowl, add in all ingredients and mix for about two minutes, or until a whipped texture.  

Pumpkin Pancakes

We've been having "breakfast for dinner" around here on a routine basis lately.  This was a fun twist on the usual, and they were so fluffy I couldn't believe they were gluten free!  I put a scoop of warm cinnamon honey butter on top, then drizzled maple syrup over it.  It was like eating cake for dinner.  Whoops.   

No need to double this recipe, it makes a LOT of pancakes!

• 2 cups flour (I use half namaste, half bob's red mill gf flours)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 3/4 C buttermilk (or 1 3/4 tsp white vinegar added to a measuring cup, then add milk to make the 1 3/4 Cup)
• 2 TBS softened butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients.  In a seperate smaller bowl, combine wet ingredients.  Add wet ingredients to the dry mix and whisk together until combined.  Allow to sit out for about 10 minutes before cooking on a medium hi heat skillet.
