On a typical “good” day, I eat my carbs for breakfast and lunch, but when dinner rolls around, I tend to minimize my carb intake. Caprese Portobello Mushroom Pesto Pizza

This strategy has helped me greatly in keeping my weight in check. Caprese Portobello Mushroom Pesto Pizza

The low-carb pizza phenomenon has flooded Instagram, I’m talking Cauliflower Pizza, Zucchini Pizza, Eggplant Pizza, and of course, Mushroom Pizza. My inspiration for this Caprese Portabello Mushroom Pesto Pizza comes from CafeDelites, and Karina is the lady behind this wonderful blog. Caprese Portobello Mushroom Pesto Pizza

Portabello mushrooms truly are the perfect substitute for meat since they are meaty in texture and tend to be filling, but the best part of all is they are low in calories. I’ve been excited to make this pizza for quite some time now because I LOVE mushrooms!

Just like always, I made a few changes by adding pesto, oregano, red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, and parmesan cheese to my version of this pizza. Caprese Portobello Mushroom Pesto Pizza

  • Garnish with fresh basil.

Heaven in a bowl. I can’t tell you how easy it i Heaven in a bowl. I can’t tell you how easy it is to make TOFU THAI RED CURRY - even if you can’t find kaffir lime leaves. There is no ginger and garlic in this recipe, and there is no need to sauté the veggies. Simply add raw veggies to a simmering coconut gravy and cook the veggies for a few minutes. Flavor the sauce and garnish. Tofu Thai Red Curry is a classic and is the perfect combo of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors. ⁠
