This meal combines some of our family’s favorite flavors all in one bowl! It incorporates tender steak, caramelized onions, mushrooms, green peppers and provolone cheese all …
I admit it, despite our best efforts, our kids can sometimes be picky eaters. They’re both pretty good at getting in their protein but some fruits and especially vegetables can be a challenge.
