Not to whine or ramble, but my head is in an err…poor place (ie since Thanksgiving, with my A Weighty Issue Post) so I’m trying to focus on the holidays and family, so bare with me as food blogging might take a back seat.
Last night I finally decided to use the Portabello Mushrooms Mom bought last week for mine and Dad’s dinner! I stuffed mine with the rest of my mushroom Couscous and some chickpeas, then topped it off with a bit of Marinara Sauce and some Artichoke Hearts…it was almost like a pizza, but spazzed out.
Too bad the mushroom got pretty thin while roasted and when lifted off the baking sheet, almost everything fell off.
Still tasted great!
My Dad had two medium sized ones (I had the mega one) and I stuffed his with leftover Japanese white rice, a boca burger, cheese, topped with marinara sauce and more cheese. See, his is even more like a pizza!
I was thrilled for this morning since I knew I was going to make Oats In A Jar with the bit of PB I had leftover in this jar…
No worries, I bought another jar. How could I ever live without PB?
Sadly I had to use quick oats (I hate quick oats; wayyy too pasty) but alas, I used a 1/3C with cinnamon and water, mixed in a diced apple, and topped it off with some blackberries.
I’m off to take the van in for an oil check, bird watch while I’m waiting and maybe walk up to TJ’s, which is right down the street. :)

I'm with you, girlfriend. Take care.
yep its all about the holidays, try to clear your head girl!
happy monday!!
Oats with apples and bananas and nut butters and liquid , etc etc etc...all good stuff..
chin up there...do not dwell on silly things...focus on HEALTH and happiness and family....everything else is silly , no?
I just went back and read your "weighty issue" post. You. are. so. brave. I'm in recovery as well, and I know how hard it is to talk about this stuff. Especially because those who've never suffered from an ED can't possibly understand (even if they want to). Your honesty is something I really respect. I know what it's like to have those competing voices in your head. It's so, so hard. And I know we don't know each other, but I'm proud of you. Keep fighting - you will win the battle! I think those of us with an ED history will probably always go through these times...the really, really hard ones. Lean on the blogging community! Come over to my blog and talk my ear off!!! E-mail me!!! I always feel like such a burden when I'm having these moments, too, and I would hate for anyone else to feel that way. Much love. I'm saying a prayer for you! :)
oh my angelpie. The holidays can be incredibly stressful and cause so much anxiety.. but remember: you are stronger than this. YOU have the power to translate your negative thoughts in to positive energy. YOU have the power to be happy. YOU have the power to win this battle. I know you can do it girl. You know where to reach me if you need me, baby. Love you so much!
Spazzed out pizza....LOVE it!!!
Hang in there, girl!!!
I agree, quick oats = majorly pasty! I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling the greatest. I hope your head can make it out of that dark place sooner rather than later, you've got a holiday to enjoy!
i completely understand you taking a break. take care of yourself because you are on such a great track and it is completely essential to stay on it :) wishing you the best!!
Keep your head up over there!!
I wish I liked mushrooms- the stuffed variety always LOOKS so tasty.
food blogging has definitely taken a backseat for me too - the holidays are just sooooo hard to eat super healthy =/
you know how I loooove mushrooms, I'm all over those portabella mushrroms =)
Hope everything's okay. I definitely have to take breaks from blogging for sanity... no shame in that.
If you gotta eat quick oats, at least you enjoyed them out of a PB jar :)
Hope you can clear up your head just a bit...I've definitely be in and out of a funk with the hectic holidays, this time of year is definitely harder than most.
