Ello my loves!

Well I've been packing alllll day and practicing but I did manage to make a scrumptious dinner!!


I made a grilled portobello sandwich!

--Package of sliced portobello mushrooms (just happened to be cheaper than buying them whole)
--Favorite Italian Dressing, 1 Tablespoon
--Fresh Cilantro, a few springs
--Green Onion, chopped
--Avocado, halved then sliced thinly
--Romaine Lettuce, a few leaves
--Whole Wheat Rolls (the same brand I used for the turkey burgers earlier this week)


-Clean the mushrooms then place in a large bowl
-Add the Italian dressing and toss the mushrooms until coated evenly, refrigerate the mushrooms for at least 30 minutes

-Prepare the other ingredients in the mean time

-Heat a griddle to medium high heat
-Cook mushrooms for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until browned
-Place to cool

---Make your sandwich!!




My dad asked if we needed chips from the store and I thought "We don't need chips!". So I instantly thought of a pasta side salad:

--Cooked whole wheat pasta
--Red and green bell pepper, Sliced
--Cilantro
--Carrots, chopped
--Cucumber, sliced
--Another 2 Tablespoons of your fav. Italian dressing

--Chill until ready to serve!

And hello alternative side dish!!



And for dessert a simple sugar free banana pudding with Nilla Wafers and fresh banana mixed in!!
