1 portobello mushroom with stem removed (3oz.)
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup bell pepper chopped (use any color or a mix)
1/4 cup onion chopped
1/4 cup spinach
1/4 cup kale
1/4 cup Galaxy nutrition veggie shreds cheddar flavor (I use this to keep the recipe lactose free but you can use any flavor and type of cheese you prefer)
2 tbsp Hunts Tomato Sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1) Preheat pan over medium heat. Spray with nonstick olive oil and add peppers and onions. Cook until softened and browning, about 3-5 minutes.
2) Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp of coconut oil in microwave for 15 seconds until it becomes liquid. Mix with 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar.
3) Brush the oil and vinegar mixture on both sides of portobello mushroom. Let it rest while the vegetables continue to cook.
4) Add spinach and kale to pan with peppers and onions and cook them down until they begin to wilt. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
5) Add mushroom cap to the pan inside facing down. Cook for 3 minutes.
6) Flip mushroom cap and add 2 tbsp tomato sauce. Spread it on the inside of the cap.
7) Top with cooked vegetables and 1/4 cup cheese shreds. Cover and cook for 3 minutes until cheese begins to melt.
8) Remove mushroom veggie pizza and serve warm. Any vegetables that fall off the sides can be eaten as a side "salad" (I added cooked broccoli to my plate).
After eating dinner, I prepared lunch for tomorrow. It's going to be freezing temperatures again so I couldn't imagine going out to get something to eat. I made a kale, veggie, nut salad - a mix of a few different things we had.

1/2 apple

It was a sweet smoothie and satisfied my sweet tooth cravings. I could drink this every night! It reminded me of the malts and shakes my mom used to make for me as a kid. I love frozen bananas and make sure to always have a few in my freezer. My best advice for frozen bananas is to peel them and put in a ziploc bag before putting them in the freezer. If you already have bananas frozen, run them under warm water and slide the peel off under the running water. This can be a bit messy and can clog your drain (just ask Ryan, I tend I do this a lot)!
I had 9,000 steps today and earned 1 activity point. This is good, except I have been up and moving since 5am. Obviously I still lack movement during the work day. Since tomorrow is going to be so cold, I am going to have to force myself to walk the long way to the bathroom or use a different printer - anything to keep my body active!
Have a great night and stay warm tomorrow!!
