What's a girl to do during "grilling season"?
Bust out the portobellos!
After a quick internet search I found a Grilled Portobello Mushroom recipe to die for. This statement was cemented after my husband, having just pulled my concoction off the grill for me to eat, sliced a piece off and fed it to... himself. The man nearly melted into the floor; the look on his face was pure bliss and I almost raced to get the camera.
For the record: He took two bites of his burger and then promptly polished off one of my mushrooms. Yes, you read right. This was that good.
So, without further ado: Grilled Portobello Mushrooms.
Note: I only used 1/2 tsp of salt (to reduce the sodium intake) and a scant 1/4 cup of olive oil. I added 1/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese (which slightly upped the sodium intake, oh well) and a teaspoon of oregano.
Given the above changes, here's how two portobello mushrooms stacked up nutritionally:

I will have to tell the hubs to try that. He loves mushrooms.
I prefer chicken when he is BBQing.
Wow. What a menu! As for your comment on my blog, while I was listening to the short story in the pew, I didn't think about your comment. But so true.
I need to try it. Now I am hungry.. but I am going to be good and go for the Kashi Bar.
