Hey guys! I know I've been slacking a little with posts & I'm sorry about that! But I'm really excited to post today & tell you what I'm up to! So, I watched Elle Fowler's video on youtube called "School Glitz: Organize Your Life!" (http://www.youtube.com/user/AllThatGlitters21#p/u/1/-neIyrFZfUM) and it S U P E R inspired me! I bought myself an agenda and I bought sticky notes & different colored pens! I'm working my blog posts into my schedule now, so hopefully I'll be getting one to two up a week! So, I'm really excited about that! A L S O, thank you to everyone supporting me! I will continue to try & support you! If you know any other ways to help me get my blog out, L E T M E K N O W ! ! !
Anyway, today's post is going to be a meal of the week post! I know it's only Wednesday, but I had an awesome meal last night so I figured I'd do one now!
*Meal of the Week!*
Marinated Portabello Mushroom Burgers (balsamic vinegar, italian seasoning, salt & pepper) with assorted greens, cheese, caramalized onions, and garlic-red pepper sauce.
This meal was S O good! It's a great healthy alternative to A N Y kind of burger, and you won't even realize you're eating a mushroom not meat! If you have the "Eat This Not That" cookbook you can get the recipe out of it, but if not, B U Y I T ! But, I'll put the recipe here in case! (but you really should buy it because it's the best thing E V E R !)
~All of this information came from the Eat This Not That Cookbook, I do not own any copyrights!~
"Veggie burgers may seem like safe havens for nonmeat eaters and calorie counters alike. But the shocking truth we discovered after years of analyzing restaurant nutritional information is that vegetarian burgers offer little to no refuge from the onslaught of calories, fat, and sodium found in beef burgers. (Exhibit A: Ruby Tuesday's 952 calorie veggie burger.) We don't mess around with fake patties; instead, we go straight for a meaty portobello cap, rubbed in olive oil and balsamic and topped with a crown of melted mozz. Even if you're a beef buff, we think you'll like this meatless burger.
You'll Need:
2 tbsp mayonnaise
juice 1/2 a lemon
1/4 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers
1 clove garlic, minced
4 large portobello caps, stems removed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp dried italian seasoning
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzerella (I used sliced provolone)
4 slices red onion
4 potato rolls or whole grain buns
a few handfuls of mixed greens, arugula, or other lettuce
1. Heat a grill pan or grill. Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, red peppers, and garlic.
2. Rub the mushrooms with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Grill top side down for 2 to 3 minutes, flip, and immediately add cheese. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are fully cooked. While the mushrooms are cooking, grill the onions until brown and toast the buns.
3. Top each bun with greens, grilled onions, mushrooms, and the red pepper mayo."
I L O V E this recipe & you save $5.52 and 558 calories if you eat this instead of the Ruby Tuesday's Veggie Burger! I suggest you try it & if you do, let me know how you like it!!!
That's all for now! Stay Inspired!
