Portobello Pizza

I cry when I go to the grocery store. Most convenience foods have something I'm allergic to-this means everything is made from scratch. This means I'm either working or cooking. It's exhausting. Pizza. 1. Pizza sauce: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/exquisite-pizza-sauce/ let sit 30mins 2. Carve out portobello mushroom cap. 3. Cook cap @ 350 for 5mins. 4. Slather some basil pesto on cap. 5. Put on pizza sauce. 6. Put on toppings (I used diced peppers). 7. Sprinkle "cheese" (for the non-allergic Parm or Mozzy), for the vegan-found a great one :daiya mozzarella. *****
Its the only pic I could get. Pizzas went fast! :@

Move over Girl Scouts..

The Accidental Vegan

I got the news yesterday. Preliminary diagnosis: Stage 3 kidney disease caused by an allergic reaction sometime in the past. I've never counted proteins before and I am limited to 37g/day. I check chickpeas: 40g/cup. Waaa!! I check chicken breast: 1 oz 8g (normal serving is 5oz) so that's out too. AND I have to watch glycemic index AND allergens. Omg. I stood, lost in the forest and said "Lettuce?!" And the Zen master said "Enter from here..."

1/4 cup taco sauce
2 T horseradish brown mustard
2 T extra-virgin olive oil
2 T lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Tsp garlic powder. Tsp onion powder
Sea salt to taste
Mix and set aside. ************************pre-chopped cabbage-wilt in pan after cooking shrimp. Shrimp-peeled and cooked to light pink-just barely. Add cabbage. Brown rice tortilla zapped for 1min. Fill taco with shrimp mix, sliced avocado, remolaude sauce. VIOLA! :p
