Here’s the birthday boy (along with 2 of my super cute nephews):
After a late night of pizza and beer, we try to steer towards some healthier options in the following days while still maintaining a casual weekend feel. Portobello mushroom burgers are one of my favorites.

The portobello mushroom burgers are so easy to make. I dice some shallot, add balsamic vinegar and any herbs I have on hand and pour this over the inside of lightly oiled portobello mushrooms. The mushrooms get roasted on a baking sheet at the same time as a couple heads of garlic in foil. Total roasting time is about 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Spread the roasted garlic over buns, add the mushrooms and melt some Monterey jack cheese on top. Yum!
Although Ryan’s favorite vegetable is broccoli, mine is green beans. I love to try new ways of making green beans and this one using radicchio was definitely a tasty one. Here’s the recipe.

Ooh. The green beans look awesome. They are one of my favorite veggies too. I have been looking for a reason to buy some radicchio. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy 30th to Ryan! I guess you're never to old for a pizza party on your birthday.
ReplyDeleteThe burgers and green beans look great. I just love radicchio - thanks for pointing out the recipe.
