Clean eating can still be delicious! I combined crab and other yummy ingredients to create Crab Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms. They make one amazing dinner!
When it comes to cooking portobello mushrooms don’t be intimidated, it’s easier than you think!
One of my goals for fall was to really focus on eating better and getting healthy. I had made that a goal for 2013 but fell really far behind at the beginning of the year and then got even further behind sitting on my butt during surgery recovery.
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I gave up diet coke not too long ago. To match my better drinking, I’ve also focused on cleaner eating {disclosure: Notice I said cleaner and not clean. I by no means claim to be a totally clean eater or have all the answers on what qualifies.} One of the first recipes I tried was Crab Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms.
