Portobello Pizzas

Recently, I hopped on the low-carb lifestyle bandwagon. I’ve been following it for a week now, and I feel really good. I was worried that I would have low energy and no motivation, but so far it’s been great. Ryan, being the engineer he is, had to work out in the field today. This left me to experiment with a dish that only I would be eating (I still like to impress him with my culinary craft). It turned out better than I could have hoped for.  So here it is, Portobello Mushroom Pizza!

ingredients:

portobello mushrooms (cored, washed and patted dry)

1/4 cup italian blend cheese per mushroom

5-6 turkey pepperoni slices per mushroom

1 tablespoon tomato paste (I use basil garlic) per mushroom

salt – pepper – olive oil

1. salt mushrooms to pull out and excess water from rinsing then pat dry.

2. Rub olive oil and pepper on both sides of the mushroom, then bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes.

3. Remove from oven and begin adding the toppings. First, add 1 tablespoon tomato paste.

4. Next, 1/4 cup italian blend shredded cheese.

5. Lastly, top with turkey pepperoni.

6. Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Plate and enjoy!

p.s. I was way under my carb intake for the day so I treated myself to a glass of Mad Housewife Cabernet. It’s at the top of my list now.

Top Sirloin Pinwheels

I used to buy these flank steak parmesan pin wheels from HEB, but they stopped carrying them. They were replaced with feta and black olive pinwheels which aren’t very good. So my mom gave me the idea to make them myself so here I go.

What you’ll need:

1 lb top sirloin(boneless)

8 oz cream cheese (softened)

2 cups italian blend cheese

1 cup chopped spinach

pepper to taste

4 skewers

Tenderize steak until 1/2 inch thick

Mix cream cheese, chopped spinach and 1 cup cheese together

Spread over steak. Sprinkle on remaining cheese and pepper.

Roll tightly longways and place screwers evenly apart. Cut in to 1 1/2 inch sections and place on cooking sheet.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until meat is brown.

Don’t forget to enjoy a glass of cabernet!

End of the month means month end close for me, which always ends in a stomach splitting ulcer. Wine anyone?

DIY Wall Art

Latest project: wall art

I’ve recently started working on wall art for our living room. We need some character in there and since I’ll be starting grad school in the fall, funds will be low. This project took about 20 minutes and cost me under $10. I’m very happy with the results.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Start by taping off your canvas. Use a measuring tape to get your lines straight. Make sure to smooth out the tape as you go.

Next, mix your first layer of paint with some water to thin it out. I chose grey. Then take your roller and roll it on.

I then dabbed the canvas with a shop towel to get the excess off.

For the final steps, mix your other colors(I went with silver and black) with water and roll on. Make sure to let each layer dry before starting a new one. Also, don’t dab these with a towel.

Let dry then remove tape and viola!

I had a sneaking suspicion that the base color would run. However, I like it. We’ll see how I feel about it in a weekend. I can always tighten up the lines with some white paint.

Here it is!
