Up My Kilt!
I read about this on a blog… and now I can’t find which one to give that person some credit. Sorry. Anyways, this isn’t really a tough thing to do… you basically take a romaine heart, slice it in half the long way, brush with a bit of olive oil and grill. It doesn’t take [...]
The original recipe called for using sliced roast beef, look for a low-sodium brand. Otherwise, this works great with skirt or flank steaks, the same cut usually used for fajitas.

By subbing in a whole grain for some of the meat, this version of sloppy joes gives some added nutrition as well as being a bit easier on the pocket book. For this recipe I used freekeh, but other whole grains like quinoa or brown rice should work fine too.
