Simple Stuffed Portobellos. Healthy, Low Fat, and one heck of a treat! So I had a craving, and this blog is short.... and my updates have been paused thanks to overwhelming amounts of work and a third job on the weekends. Am I bitter? Not at all. I just am glad to make a posting! So here are some pictures of my portobellos, and below them a bunch of recommendations to share! Enjoy!

Complexity Level:  Easy

So how do I make these? Oh man it is so simple and so totally ready for your imagination!

What You Need:
Portobello Mushrooms
Fillings of Choice!

Clean the mushrooms by removing the stems, and scraping the gills with a spoon. The rest is simple -- and it is up to you, your dietary needs, and level of low fat you want to achieve. I have pictured the following:

This was baked, wrapped in foil (see pictures) and then I simply put it between some wheat bread for a hearty sandwich!
