My husband and I met five years ago today over a Philly cheesesteak.
Now this was back in my pre-gluten free days, and I had just ordered lunch from the grill in our college student center. I noticed Mr. Budget Friendly doing the New York Times crossword puzzle, and I was like, “Hey, he’s cute and he likes to do the crossword like I do!” and apparently he was like, “Hey, she’s cute and she orders Philly cheesesteaks – impressive!” And the rest is history.
Grabbing a Philly cheesesteak is not quite so easy for me anymore, but this slow cooker version is almost as convenient!
