Stuffed Mushrooms

Today was my birthday and I spent it making these stuffed mushrooms! I also made some quiche, which I'll post later since they have to dehydrate for up to 24 hours. It was a great way to spend my birthday since I LOVE trying new raw recipes and I just so happened to have the house to myself for a few hours! Enjoy!


Stuffed Mushrooms
1/3 cup pine nuts
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, packed leaves, chopped
1/3 cup fresh basil, packed leaves, chopped
1 tbs lemon juice
1 cup tomato, chopped
2 tbs Braggs or to taste

Put all ingredients into a food processor, except the tomatoes, and pulse chop several times. Stop to scrape down the sides and repeat. Add the tomatoes and continue to pulse chop until just blended. Keep a texture to a pesto, it should not be a puree. Remove stems from mushrooms and stuff the filling into the cap of the mushroom. Place on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 2-4 hours.



Wash mushrooms and remove stems.

Separately, these are some of my very favorite ingredients. I could drink the Braggs and Lemon juice I think!




I seriously wanted to eat this filling with a spoon it was so delicious.


I had some extra filling so I stuffed half of a bell pepper.

These were actually dehydrated 1 hour too long because we were out for my birthday dinner, and I forgot about them! Oops. They still turned out amazing!!
This little stuffed pepper was delish as well!

Garden update.

Do ever really want something for dinner and realize you are out or don't have enough? Tonight, I was really in the mood for a salad, but I knew I was out of greens. Yesterday, I had a veggie salad without greens. It was good!

I was too lazy to go to the grocery, but not to lazy to walk out to my organic raised bed garden in our back yard! Woohoo! How convenient. I decided to just cut a fresh bunch of lettuce and boy was I glad I did! I can't believe how much everything has grown since I last posted about my garden. Hopefully this weekend I can finish my planting:)

Look at those green onions!


My salad was delicious!!
