{yummers} stuffed mushrooms

(January 10, 2013)

I {love} new food ideas! I'm always on the hunt for healthy goodies and foods that don't make me feel deprived. Recently I found just that on Pinterest! Stuffed mushrooms, {yummers.} This is a variation of a recipe originally posted on HUNGRY GIRL and I think it turned out quite delightful! I used mostly organic ingredients, but you can use fresh produce (but rinse well!) I figured I would share the scrumptiousness with you in The Fitness Sisters' very {first} recipe page.

FOUR Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms: 128 cals / 2.5g fat 
Serving Size: TWO large mushrooms
Makes: 3 servings

What you need:

6 {portabella mushrooms}
3/4 cup of fresh {spinach}
1/8 cup {light} whipped {cream cheese}
1/4 cup nonfat {ricotta} cheese
1 tbsp {mozzarella}
1/4 cup {onion}
1 tbsp fresh {garlic}
6 tsp grated {parmesan cheese}
Sprinkle of {garlic powder}

Heat oven to 375 degrees F

I bought some really delicious organic {stuffing} portabella mushrooms at Trader Joes

{{QUICK FACT}}: Only 20 calories in a large mushroom.

Cut of the stems (but save them!) and place mushrooms upside down on a baking tray that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. I use {organic} olive oil spray from my local market.

Place in oven and let cook for 12-14 minutes.

Chop (finely) mushroom stems, onion and fresh garlic and sauté in saucepan for 2 minutes {until soft}

Then throw in coarsely chopped spinach until it withers. 

{Next} measure ricotta, cream cheese, and mozzarella into a mixing bowl.

Mix well and then blend in the veggies, yum!

Remove {mushrooms} from oven and let cool to touch. Make sure to remove excess water by patting dry or draining <3

Add the best part! Scoop on evenly!

Sprinkle {garlic powder} and add a teaspoon of shredded parmesan to each mushroom.

           

Finally, let bake for another 8-10 minutes or until lightly brown.

Remove from oven & cool slightly.

Then EAT & {enjoy} guilt free.

We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did. Super delicious and low calorie/fat. Feel free to change it up and be creative! We would {love it} if you left us a {comment} and told us your favorite variation on this recipe!
