Pimento Portobellos with Cabbage Noodles

I love going out to eat, devouring something fabulous and then...recreating it at home! Yes - I'm a Food Nerd!

Went out to eat with some super, amazing gals at Nonnah's! We ordered an appetizer that was portobellos filled with creamy feta and roasted red peppers.

Let the recreating begin...

I start out by scooping out the inside of two organic portobello mushrooms. Put them in a pan and roast at 425 for about 10-ish minutes. You just want them to soften. While that goodness is happening, whip up a batch of pimento cheese

(Shredded cheese of choice, a giant dollop of cream cheese, mayo, pimentos and S & P)

When your mushrooms are soft, scoop some of that yummy, creamy pimento cheese inside. Bake until the cheese begins to bubbly and ooze.

While that is happening, fry you up some good 'ole fatty bacon! (I have to cook a whole pack, because when my family gets a whiff- they all come in for a piece.)

Save your bacon grease.

Out come your mushrooms from the oven. Crumble some bacon on top.

Pour off some of your bacon grease and leave a little in your pan. Grab that leftover shredded cabbage from your Egg Roll in a Bowl dish and throw it in. Sauté with a little salt until wilted.

Plate up and enjoy, my friend!

(I used sharp white cheddar for this batch of pimento cheese. Alternately, you can add a little feta to your pimento cheese before filling your mushrooms for some double oozy, gooey, cheesiness)

Snickers Smoothie

ONE WORD.... Snickers! Yep! Makes your mouth and mind BUZZZZZZZZ ! This recipe was graciously shared to me by a trim healthy mama. I am always skeptical when something says 'healthy' and has a name brand tagged on it. Like brownies made with cottage cheese. Or how about 'Doritos' kale chips! C+C Music Factory comes to mind with "Things that make you go hmmmmmm!" BUT................. This really has a Snickers-ish flare to it. And- I love it. Go all out on your extract. I have friends that get theirs at Walmart, but quality verses quantity wins me over. You usually have to use more of the cheap stuff to get that punch of flavor. My favorite is Bakto . The other spotlight in this Snickers Shake is Glucomannan. You can read its wonderful qualities here. Snickers Smoothie Into your favorite blender add the following: 1 cup of Unsweetened Almond milk (or if you're in heavy weight loss mode, 1/2 cup of almond milk

Oolong tea can be purchases online, found in Asian markets and I even saw it at Publix.

Best of all it makes a scrumptious drink called the "SHRINKER" and you get all these extras and more thrown in for good measure. Oolong contains antioxidants that powerfully destroy free radicals. Research conducted by Dr Kenichi Yanagimoto from the university of California, showed that only 15 days of Oolong tea drinking enabled an incredible 50% reduction in free radicals.

My allergic reaction to jalapeños

****** If you are having an intense burning from cutting jalapeños and found this blog on the web, scroll to the bottom. I have labeled what you need to do!!! It was Saturday afternoon. I had a wonderfully planned party at my house for 6pm. I diligently cleaned all day. I had let my house go, so a deep clean was in order. I was saving all my cooking for the last hour of the party so everything would be warm. It was 5pm and I was ready to cook. Being 6 months pregnant, the breaking back work of cleaning had almost done me in, but it was worth it. The house looked great. I planned to make a few dishes, but my star dish was 'Jalapeno Poppers'. I had them in restaurants in the past, but never made them. I got the recipe off a Facebook page. She hand typed it (no blog or star winning website) so it was simple instructions. I destemmed, cut them length wise and deseeded 15-20 jalapenos. Followed the rest of the instructions and into the oven they went. I de
