Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Tonight's dinner was portobello mushrooms with spinach tomato stuffing.
















Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
1 bag baby spinach
1 tomato, diced
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded or cubed)
2 eggs
2 cups (dry) stuffing mix (we used herb-style)
1/2 cup vegetable broth (or water)
4 Portobello Mushrooms
Olive Oil

Pre-Heat oven to 400

In a pan with some olive oil, cook the baby spinach until wilted. Add tomato, stuffing mix, and vegetable broth (or water). Remove from heat and gently stir (don't over-stir or you'll make mush out of the stuffing).

Let cool for a few minutes while you remove the stems from the mushrooms and scrape out the brown "gill" looking things. Rinse mushrooms and pat dry.

Gently beat the two eggs and mix with the stuffing mix. Mix the cheese in as well. Scoop the stuffing mix into the mushroom caps and place on a non-stick cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and the tops are brown.

Lasagna - The best ever!

I made the Pioneer Woman's recipe last night. It was so damn yummy I could almost eat it at 9:30 in the morning! LOL

I didn't take pics because mine wouldn't do it justice and she has amazing ones on her website. See here.

Friday night we went out to eat at a buffet/salad bar type place. The food was mediocre but it was fun to have someone else clean it all up for a change. The girls liked it because there were so many options. Oh, and they have a kids eat free till age 6 policy. Can't beat that. All four of us ate for around $20. What a bargain!

I still haven't got back on the meal planning wagon. I just fix whatever is here and plan most of my meals around whatever meat is on sale at the store. Like that pork roast the other day for example.

I think I'm going to start posting some of our other meals though and not just dinner. We eat a lot of the same stuff over and over so I thought maybe you'd like to see some breakfast and lunch pics for a change.

We're Back! - Cheese Steaks!

I think we're FINALLY all healthy! *knocks on wood* Three kids sick really sucks. Blech. Don't want to do that again. Considering that I got sick first and then didn't want to drag sick kids to the grocery store we hadn't been grocery shopping in like 3 weeks. It got to the point that last night was one of those "hmmm, what can I make with half a lemon, ketchup and some cheesesticks?" (Ok, not really but it was pretty bad.)

So, we went grocery shopping (370 dollars later - OUCH!) and we finally have food in the house! Yay! The baby actually let me put him down long enough to cook dinner so here we have it --

Tonight's dinner was Vegetarian Cheese Steaks!
















Vegetarian "Philly" Cheese Steaks
Morningstar Farms Philly Cheese Steak Burger Patties
Mushrooms sliced
Onions sliced
Green Bell Peppers Diced (or sliced)
Mozzarella Cheese
1 Tbs Butter
Sub Rolls

Saute the onions, mushrooms, and green peppers in some butter.
Microwave the veggie burgers for 30-45 seconds until not frozen. Slice into strips.
Add the burger strips to the veggies and warm through.
Put some Mozzarella cheese on the sub rolls and then top with the meat-vegetable mixture. Top with more cheese if desired.

Enjoy!

Pork Roast

I made a pork roast in the crockpot today. It was delicious. I used a pack of the McCormick Pot Roast seasoning and a little water and let it cook all afternoon. Then I made gravy and roasted some veggies in the oven with a little olive oil and seasoned salt.

The girls and the husband loved this dinner.
