Glutinized

I am fully glutinized. When my tummy once again feels uncomfortably stretched, rumbles loudly when I go to bed, and gives off dull aches and pains, perhaps I shall revert to being gluten free once again... I'm quite certain it won't be long. Perhaps when this heat wave subsides... or maybe after pie season.

Mexican Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms

We have been trying new ways to enjoy vegetarian meals around here and made up a great and simple meal.

Ingredients:
2-4 portobello mushrooms
olive oil
1/2 med onion chopped
1 clove garlic
1 bell pepper
2 med stalks celery
1/2 frozen corn
1 can black beans (drained)
taco seasoning to taste
cheese

Directions
Saute onion, celery, pepper and garlic in olive oil in skillet. Once softened add corn until defrosted, then add in black beans. Add taco seasoning to taste. Wash mushrooms, dry and coat in olive oil. With mushrooms on a cookie sheet, stuff mushrooms with mixture, cover with cheese. Bake at 350 for about 10 mins or until cheese is melted and mushroom is softened.

We put a little salsa on top before eating to add some more yummy. The best thing about this is that you can add chicken or ground turkey and stuff in taco shells or even into button mushrooms to make little appetizers. A very tasty, healthy and flexible recipe.
