Portobello Sandwiches!

Whew!  It is hot out there!  Unfortunately I did not have a chance to soak up the sun today.  I spent most of my day waiting….  Waiting for my sweet ride to get serviced so Jake and I can make the 6 hour trek back to see my family this weekend!  Once I got home it took all my will power to stay inside and complete my final paper for my grad class.  Three pages and three hours later - I’m done!

And just in time for dinner!  Since it is so stinking hot, I decided to cook our entire meal on the grill!  I don’t know if my meat-loving husband even realized our meal was completely meatless! It was that good! What was on the menu? 

 Open-faced Portobello Mushroom, Pepper, and Cheese Sammie with asparagus and campfire beans!  I love using Portobello mushrooms.  They are full of flavor and hearty enough to mimic a burger.

What is your favorite meatless meal?

One of my favorite meatless meals is veggie sandwiches of any kind! Grilled, roasted veggies with melted cheese or  crisp vegetables - cucumbers, tomatoes, alfa sprouts, avocado wrapped in lettuce!  Yum!
