Portabella Stuffed with Quinoa, Apples and Cranberries

4 Comments

Since as earlier mentioned, lunch was ridiculously boring.  I tried to get a little creative with dinner.

First, I cooked some Portabella Mushrooms in a pan with some salt, pepper and olive oil.  To prevent them from sticking and burning I added a little bit of brine from my artichokes since I was out of vegetable broth.

Then I put those aside, sauteed some apples, added some cooked quinoa and dried cranberries.  I cooked those together for a few minutes with some apple cider for moisture (you could probably use juice or water too).

Then I piled the mixture onto the Portabella and enjoyed!

The lovely fella decided to add some shredded mozzarella to his.

Quick and Easy!  Pretty Tasty too!

Ready For Winter

After an extremely long day, I came home to find a package on my doorstep.  My snow boots arrived!  (excuse my ridiculously messy room and haggard appearance, I slept a little less than 4 hours last night…)

I’m really pleased!  I’ve never had snow boots before (I’m a California girl, remember!).  I kind of can’t wait for it so snow so I can wear them.  I’m ready for winter!

Are you ready for winter??

Last Day of Class

It’s the last day of class!  Thank goodness!

I pretty much stayed up all night (actually went to bed at 4am woke up at 7am… so I had a nap).  I won’t even tell you all the things I ate last night.  I was all sorts of disgusting!

On to a happier day…

Breakfast was one of my favorites!  I’m not sure how I’ve not had this for so long!

I didn’t have any toast so I used a Mini Pita, spread some PB (with flax!) on it and sliced up a banana!  Yum!  I have a slight banana obsession!  I think it runs in the family.  My mom eats multiple bananas per day.

What yours favorite breakfast?

Sad/Happy Story: I was up pretty much all night working on this paper that I’ve been obsessing over for weeks.  I couldn’t figure out why I kept writing but I seemed to ways have 10-11 pages… then I realized, most of it was actually in 10pt font!  So REALLY I had 17 pages!  Amazing!

Lunch with probably be an apple, a carrot and a cliff bar again… hopefully dinner will make up in amazingness!

Have a fantastic day!
