Dear Bec,
In the last couple of weeks, spring has hit our frozen tundra hard, causing puddles, bird noises, budding and a huge sense of relief for all us winter-haters out there. Though no produce is yet growing here, the weather has giving me a plethora of motivation and inspiration. The culinary idea slump from the winter has been replaced with endless ideas of how to redefine my weekly food menu. Soups have been replaced by cold salads. Oven-heavy bakes have been replaced by faster and lighter grilled items. Summer grilling season is coming and this time I come prepared!
Love Jess
I love portobello mushrooms. Sometimes referred to as the meat of all vegetables, they are so rich, juicy and flavorful. They are also a good source of protein and fiber, making them a nutritious and tasty meat substitute. Also, this particular burger cooks in about eight minutes (less if you use a real grill, not a broiler), making it a fast meal to throw together on hectic days.
