Thought this was a cute picture to share for the week!


Recipe of the week:

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

Portobello mushrooms, stems removed and mushrooms washed

Zucchini, sliced ½ inch thick

Squash, sliced about ½ inch thick

Peppers- whatever color you like- red, yellow, orange or green

Asiago cheese or other type of white cheese- sharp white cheddar or something with a little kick

Corn on the cob, husked and hair removed

Toss the veggies with olive oil.  Brush the mushroom caps with olive oil.  Grill all vegetables until grill marks appear and until tender.  Mushrooms only grill for about 3 minutes and remove.  Add the cheese to the inside of the caps of  the mushrooms.  Then once the other veggies are tender, go ahead and add the other veggies on top. Add the corn last for a little garnish.
