Portabella Mushroom w/ Chili topping

I had left overs from fourth of July, so today I had Portabella Mushroom w/ Chili topping and an avocado spread on top. This time I used on of the very big mushrooms and didn’t put it on a bun, instead using a fork and knife to eat it 🙂

My lunch = Amazing

Portabella Mushroom Burger w/ Chili topping

For Fourth of July it was just Danielle, Bryan and I. We made an amazing dinner before we went out and watched the fire works. We made Portobello mushroom burgers with veggie chili topping and avocado spread. Very messy but really good, I will for sure be making this again. We also had Corn on the cob and Mashed potato and for dessert Bryan made strawberry soup. I got the mushroom burger idea from Rachel Rays:365 meals Cook book.
