Portobello Perfection

So Jen and I were doing our meal planning last week, and the new Green Grocer list came out and it had Portobellos.  Needing to make good use of this fantastic fungus the plan changed and we decided on a recipie from Everyday Paleo for Giant Stuffed Mushrooms.  Only things I changed about the recipie was I only used half an onion (had half left over from previous meal and didnt want another half sitting around that I probably wont use), I used bread crumbs instead of coconut flour (because Im not hard core paleo) and I didnt run it through a food processor.  Moslty because I didnt have one but secondly I like my food in a form most like what it started off as.  Relative I know when Im using ground meat but the chunks of all the other stuff was what I really cared about. I was little concerned because I have texture issues with celery and onions but it went just fine.  I actually made this on Monday night, knowing I would get back late Tuesday.  Jen put the pan in the oven as I was on my way back from a very important evening. I was a bit nervous, there were a ton of spices in there and a few I had never used but it came out amazing. "Best dinner yet award" from Jen.  Best bites were definitley the ones with portobellos in them, I ended up with a bit more stuffing than I had mushrooms for but it all got baked in the pan together.  All in all a good expieriment and one we will hit up again when we get portobellos in the box.

So I have thought about this for a while.  Do I actually write this post?  Do I put my dirty laundry out there for everyone? Or the handful that read my blog.  And if I do, what do I say? Do I slam those involved?  Do I take the high road?  When is a “good” time to put it out there?  A few days under my belt and there is probably no better time. So no secret, my ex-boyfriend was my coach.  That worked out mildly well while we were together but add a breakup and somehow it just doesn’t work out as smoothly.  Add a few of the worst things a person could do to another in there and disaster doesn’t even begin to describe.  But I have this eternal belief that I can make any situation work.  That I can fix things.  It’s what makes me good at my job.  I’m an eternal optimist. But it’s what causes me to not be so good at my personal life.  Even when things are clearly not good, I still think I can fix it and make it right...

Weekly eating

The struggle is real.  Between working and them finding time to eat some thing other than takeout pizza, do my physical therapy, spend time with the baby and the husband it is seriously hard to fit it all in. Oh and sleep.  The older I get, the more sleep becomes non negotiable. We are also trying to eat with McKenna so she sees us eat and follows suit. It also allows me to give her things off my plate, which she definitely is more interested by.  This has actually been a huge struggle as our window in the evening is so limited with her, I don't want to spend it cooking and not spending time with her.  So the goal is to keep our meals simple and do as much ahead of time as possible. The downside to this is the Husband and I usually spend time chatting and relaxing during our meals as it’s always been our alone time together. But sleep. So I came up with a plan for the week and cooked the majority of our food on Sunday.  I really only made salsa because my freez...

Defensive eating

I like to think I have complete control over what i eat, how much and when. It's my body, who else would have control? Over the last week, I have realized the level of influence the person you live with can affect it. I have lived for a while with someone who has no self control and thus sees a package of cookies on the counter and eats the entire thing or eats an entire 1 lbs bag of PB M&m's in one sitting. So instead of eating just one of my favorite cookie, I would eat 3 or 4. Yes I know cookies will not be gone forever but in that instant I become territorial and eat more than I normally would. It makes me wonder about the strange behaviors those in large families must have about food. Clearly our parents define a lot about the relationship we have with food but this realization brings to light a whole new level of influence on my eating. There has been a package of cookies on the counter that's been there since Monday and is still half full.
