Portobello Mushroom Pizzas

Portobello Mushroom Pizzas will scratch the pizza itch if you're living the low carb/gluten free lifestyle. It's made with mushrooms! Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

I spent all last week home alone (my guys had a baseball tournament!) and during my cooking-for-one adventure, I got hooked on Portobello Mushroom Pizzas. Cooking for one is quite a trip!  I would have experimented more with toppings with these pizzas but I made a goal to only grocery shop once last week. #introvertlife

What I have learned about cooking for one AND cooking for others while feeding myself is that

It’s always a battle of

how much energy do I have?

vs.

how much am I worth the effort?

Tracy a year ago would have just spent the week eating cereal for dinner while current Tracy knows the importance of nourishment. She knows she’s worth the effort and is happy this “pizza” situation requires very minimal hands-on time and scratches the pizza itch that she so desires!  The cleanup was simple too…

Plus there’s a crispy cheese bit involved in the process and no one complained about mushrooms. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES CRISPY CHEESE AND MUSHROOMS IN MY HOUSE!

Happy Monday, friends!

My boys are back from a baseball tournament. I had about 4 days to myself last week, home alone and it was divine! It was nice to be able to cook for one for a bit. I ate more vegetables than I have in a while. I’m glad they’re back. I missed them.
