About:

These Stuffed Mushrooms make a wonderful light meal or an Appetizer.  I just loved all of the fresh vegetables that were stuffed into the mushrooms!  These mushrooms were so delicious, they were gone instantly.

A shower of fresh basil adds a whisper of summer to a dish that’s already bursting with flavor.  I also added goat cheese to the mixture for lots of flavor and topped off the mushrooms with some mozzarella cheese. To me this dish was like a carb free vegetarian pizza.

Health benefits:

Portobello mushrooms provide a number of essential nutrients but don’t contain many calories, making them a nutritious addition to any diet. Portobello mushrooms have a moderately high amount of fiber. The macronutrients consist of fat, carbohydrates and protein. Portobellos have a balance of protein and carbs, and they are low in fat

Quinoa is high in protein and low in fat. It adds lots of fiber, which helps lower cholesterol. It has a mild nutty flavor and, to me, it’s like a blank canvas, since it can take on a variety of different flavors depending on the other ingredients it’s combined with. It’s super easy to prepare, similar to rice
