And finally today's recipe, all caught up! Just made this for lunch...and it was really good. The last mushroom cap in the package, so sad. It really made the meatiness for this sandwich...and the bacon and lettuce...yummy.
I think I might actually be sorta caught up with beginning of the year tasks. Now I'm moving on to everything else. Fall parties already coming up, GS meetings starting soon, homework, and more. Gotta love this fall weather that has finally started...love getting cozy in a sweatshirt. We got our back porch cleaned off last and I'm looking to enjoying it.
I can't believe I'm coming up on halfway through the book, gotta figure out what recipe will be Day 150. Eat well!

Day 145 - Burger-ific Mushroom Melt
Second mushroom cap out of the package went to this recipe....mushroom topped with boca burger topped with swiss cheese. Completely delicious! I did cook it in a covered skillet instead of the oven though....worked pretty well.
Day 144 - Ring-My-Bella Mushroom Sandwich
Another sandwich that I got to see come to life on HG's show....it was amazing. I loved it! I really like portabella mushrooms, so this was great. I like the trick of seasoning the mayo with cayenne...like an aioli almost. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it....must buy mushrooms when on sale though.
Day 143 - In-N-Outrageous Animal-Style Salad
This was a pretty intense prep for a salad, but it was worth the wait. My husband said it smelled just like a burger..but he wouldn't go near it with the mustard in it. I did enjoy this huge salad, both tasty and filling for sure. Looking forward to the next time we are close to an In & Out though.....
Day 142 - Hot Dog Stir-Fry
This dish surprised me...it was better than I thought it was going to be. Hot dogs, onions and mushrooms, that's about it. I just love the way onions and mushrooms cook down...yummmmm. I definitely enjoyed this recipe.
Day 141 - Gravy-Good Beef Casserole
Found some lean ground beef in the deep freezer, so I thought I'd make this oven cooked dish on a day when it wasn't super warm. The gravy mixed really well with the mushrooms and beef and made this dish pretty yummy. I sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top which really added some more goodness.
Day 140 - Grinder Lettuce Cups
Another great recipe! I found Boca burgers cheap, so I stocked up on a few boxes. Cooked and crumbled and mixed with crushed tomatoes and spices made an awesome filling for lettuce wraps. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of this recipe!
Day 139 - Fluffy-Good Zucchini Nut Muffins
Loved these muffins! They have an awesome flavor and are filling as well! I ended up with 12 of them instead of 9, my pan must be smaller. I have been enjoyed them for breakfast or a snack! Would love to make them again sometime. :)
Day 138 - Creamy Chicken & Noodles
I'm trying to remember this recipe....that is why I should be writing every day. I remember the cream of celery soup being really strong....but I enjoyed the recipe with my last bag of shirataki noodles. Must get to Whole Foods soon. The meal was definitely creamy and pretty good.
Day 137 - Grilled Fuji-n-Chick 'Wich
Watched HG make this sandwich a while back....it was easy to prepare and pretty good as well. My husband checked out the picture in the book to make sure it looked like it should...and it did. :) I like the flavor of the apple against the chicken. Really great meal!
Day 136 - Corn MegaMuffins
Made these muffins when we got home from our trip for an evening snack...had all the ingredients ready and waiting. They were a fantastic cornbread like muffin, tasty and warm. I did spread some Brummel & Brown on them as well. Would be great as a bread side for any meal.
Day 135 - Banana Split Bread
Another breakfast I made for the trip...it was just okay for me. I have never been a huge fan of banana bread, so maybe my taste buds are tainted with memories. But it is definitely unique with the strawberry preserves and chocolate chips....I think my husband liked it.
Day 134 - Chocolate-Chippy Cheese Danish
I did my make-ahead meals for the weekend we were visiting friends and going to a wedding. Everyone enjoyed this chocolate chip danish, it was really yummy! Easy to make as well even with the cutting and crossing of the crescent dough, LOVE those dough sheets! Will definitely make this again sometime.
Day 133 - Sassy 'n Steamy Artichoke
I needed a quick and easy meal before leaving for our weekend trip, this was it. I can't remember the last time I ate an artichoke the old fashioned way. I grew up eating these once in awhile. I really liked the buttery dip too. Yummy!
Day 132 - Gooey-Good Queso Dip 'n Chips
This queso was surprisingly good, like really good. I love cheese, but sometimes that fat free stuff just isn't the same...the mixture of different cheeses worked really well with the spices and boca crumbles. Really good! My husband enjoyed the leftovers as well...

Day 131 - Looney Tuna-Stuffed Pepper
This was an interesting dish for lunch today...tuna and dijonnaise stuffed into a red pepper. I admit I put it in the microwave instead of baking it. My husband would kill me for turning on the oven in this heat wave we are having...but those were the ingredients I had. It was actually pretty good and surprisingly filling.
Spent most of the morning typing volunteer information into a database on the computer. My eyes were pretty glazed over afterwards...it's just one of those start-of-year tasks I need to finish asap to get information out to committee chairs. It seems never-ending though!
I cannot believe tomorrow is Sept already, where is the time going? I literally saw Christmas decorations in a store yesterday, what?! I just want to enjoy fall first, seriously. I haven't even figured out my fall tv schedule yet...I don't know when shows start or anything...by now I'm usually already planning out my nights. Maybe that means I won't watch as many....at least Jacques will record for me. Yay!
Eat well!

Day 130 - Tuna Noodle Casse-Bowl
Another fun lunch, shirataki noodles again with tuna and cream of mushroom soup, pretty much just like a tuna casserole. I had to add some salt and pepper, which was recommended. It was okay, just wasn't an awesome food moment.
Grocery shopping was pretty easy, we are trying to eat down our freezer/pantry, so I'm trying to keep things to fresh items like milk, veggies, fruit, cheese. I know writing this blog with a new recipe every day requires me to pick up items here and there, but I'm trying to use what I have on hand first.
The mean scale told me I gained half a pound, must have been that jalapeno-cheese sausage...it was worth it! Still walking every morning and trying my best. Eat well!

Day 129 - Cheesy Burger Skillet
Had this meal for lunch, it was okay. Easy to make and full of tomato flavor. It's interesting to use the meatless burgers for stir fry meat, just something different.
Monday mornings are always fun...left the carseats in the husband's truck, had to make him come home...running late to school. At least I was able to clean up around the house and get some other things done. First PSR meeting this evening, I know my daughter cannot wait to start all of her fun activities soon. PSR, dance, more dance, Girl Scouts...yep, that's enough for now. Life is going to speed up next week for sure.

Day 128 - Egg Cups a la Hungry
These little cups were delicious! Perfect for a yummy and filling Sunday breakfast. My husband enjoyed them as well. Eggs and cheese and sausage in a crescent cup, who could ask for more? Could probably even change up the add-ins if you wanted for a brunch.
We went out on a friend's boat, which was a really good time. Except for when another boat passed way too close to us while I was sitting on the boat watching the kids swim and the wake sent me flying across the boat. Left a nice big bruise on my arm, I was not a happy camper. How rude. Other than that, it was fun. Topped off the evening with drunken chicken and some jalapeno-cheese sausage that I found at the bottom of the deep freezer. It was from TX and my absolute favorite! I was in heaven.

Day 127 - Lasagna-Like Egg Mug
I needed to start this day off with a hearty breakfast...this egg mug was okay. I did like the flavors, tasted like lasagna in eggs, but there are other egg mugs which I have enjoyed more.
It was a full day of fun! Museum of transportation all morning followed by apple picking in the afternoon. And topped off with an evening at the pool. A great family fun day!
