Shroom Delight

Caprese Portobello Burger (Why was the mushroom the life of the party? ...because he was the fun-gi) 

I'm not a vegetarian but I like to branch out from meat once in a while.  Even though this burger comes in the form of a mushroom, it's filling and delicious. To start out with remove the stems and marinate the portobellos. My marinade consists of minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.  Mix the marinade with mushrooms in a ziplock and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Then grill over medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side or until soft but not charred. In the last few minutes turn the mushroom stem side up, fill with your favorite marinara and top with fresh mozzarella cheese. Serve on a bun or sandwich round with baby spinach.

About Little Murph

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
