Marinated Portobello Mushroom Burger

August 2, 2020

Marinated to be tasty and juicy, this portobello ‘burger’ will have you completely forgetting about meat. I posted this to Instagram a while back and my inbox went crazy! It’s so simple and this marinade lends so much flavor. Sandwich thins are a great alternative to a burger bun as they give you that bread taste without overloading you on carbs.

You will need:
Portobello mushroom caps–a large one for each sandwich, or two smaller ones
Sliced red onions for caramelizing

This marinade would be amazing on any protein, too!

Mushroom Marinade:
1 T. Tamari or soy sauce
1 T. minced garlic
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. balsamic vinegar
Drizzle of olive oil
(Good for 3-4 mushroom caps)

Optional: slices of red onion

Make sure to check out my other tasty, healthy recipes here!

Toss portobello caps & onions in marinade and let sit 30-45 minutes. Cook in a skillet on med-low heat about 6 minutes on each side, or until the portobellos are soft and cooked through. Caramelize the onions in the marinade alongside the mushrooms.

Next, build your sandwich! I used:
Caramelized onions
Whole grain sandwich thins
Mozzarella cheese
Tomato
Spinach

Y’all, this thing was so juicy and flavorful, I had to eat it over the sink. I wish I had thought to add some avocado slices. I think the cool creaminess would have made it even better. Ah, next time.

Whatcha think? Are you a mushroom person?

One Week Meal Plan

July 31, 2020

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my regular meal plan and it’s hard to come up with an answer, because there’s not a lot that I actually do eat regularly (besides eggs. I’m an eggaholic). I love to switch things up, but I try to keep most of my meals ‘healthy’ because that’s what I enjoy and what makes my body feel good.

I like to keep meals interesting, but that doesn’t mean they have to be complicated. It’s easier to stick to a plan when the meals aren’t overly complex or require a lot of prep time.

Here, I’ve put together a week’s worth of healthy meals that I keep in my rotation. These are some of my favorites and I know you’ll love them, too!

One Week Meal Plan

Breakfasts– Pick any two to mix and match!

  • Protein pancakes w/ fresh berries
  • 2 eggs, any style cooked with nonstick spray
  • 2 slices of turkey bacon
  • 1 slice of whole grain toast w/ 1/4 avocado & squeeze of lemon on top
  • Sliced tomatoes w/ salt & pepper
  • Low fat cottage cheese
  • My Green Drank protein smoothie

Check out my FREE editable grocery list to take the guesswork out of buying healthy at the grocery store!

Lunches–

  • Ground Turkey Taco Bowl
  • Caprese Chicken
  • Portobello ‘Burger’
  • Snacks–I do this several times per week if I’m not super hungry, or I am absorbed in my work.
  • Green salad with chicken or turkey

Snacks- When cravings hit in between meals!

  • Low fat cottage cheese 
  • Nuts
  • Whole grain bread with peanut butter
  • Celery sticks with peanut butter
  • An apple with peanut butter (I really like peanut butter….)
  • Hummus and veggies
  • Guacamole and salsa with veggies
  • Cheese stick
  • These protein bites
  • Boiled eggs
  • A piece of fruit
  • One of these protein smoothies
  • Chomp’s turkey sticks
  • My Harvest Muffins
quotes about struggle and pain

Dinners- We like to eat out about once per week (sometimes more if we’ve had a busy day or we’re feeling lazy) and I believe that it’s important to enjoy meals out at a restaurant or snag carry out once in a while. Not only are you supporting your community, but you’re much more likely to stick to a meal plan when you enjoy it, or have a special dinner to look forward to. Look at this list with an open mind–mix and match and have fun with it!

Follow me on Pinterest for SO many more recipe ideas!
I love to search and pin healthy meals ALL the TIME!

PS My bestie Ashley over at Smashingly Ashley is an INCREDIBLE cook and I’m so excited to share a few of her delicious recipes as part of this one week meal plan!

Monday— Miso-Glazed Salmon w/ brown rice and steamed broccoli

Tuesday— One Pan Baked Chicken Fajitas (Taco Tuesday, anyone?)

Wednesday— Smashingly Ashley’s Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Kale Soup

Thursday— Southwest Quinoa Salad

Friday— Head out to support a small business!

Saturday— Easy Baked Cod & Asparagus

Sunday— Smashingly Ashley’s Dairy Free Creamy Lemon Piccata Chicken

Drink Recipe: The Paloma

May 5, 2020

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Or, should I say, Cinco de ‘Rona?

Yes, Cinco de Mayo is essentially a holiday manipulated by us Americans to use as an excuse to don sombreros and drink egregious amounts of tequila. Cinco de Mayo is actually the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, a military victory over Napoleon III’s French forces in 1862. Why we celebrate it the way we do is largely unknown.

Let’s face it: we’ve been locked down under quarantine for over a month now and we need an excuse to let loose a little.

Enter: Cinco de Mayo, on a Taco Tuesday of all days.

This is it, y’all. This is what we’ve been training for.

This post may includes affiliate links to products I truly use & recommend. I earn a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you purchase from my links. This helps keep JennaDanielle.com running and puts kibble in the fuzzdogs’ bowls. Thank you for supporting this crazy dream of mine!

In honor of needing a drink, I’ve decided to forego the traditional margarita recipe (you can actually find my favorite one right here) and opt instead for a tangy and refreshing Paloma.

The Paloma (meaning “dove” in español) is made with tequila, grapefruit juice, lime and soda water (or Squirt soda, if you’re being muy auténtico).

It’s a little sweet, a little sour, a little bitter and a little salty. It’s essentially everything I want in a summertime cocktail. Plus, it pairs beautifully with tacos.

The Paloma

2 oz. tequila (I like reposado best)
3 oz. grapefruit juice
3 oz. soda water (or Squirt soda)
Juice of 1 lime wedge
1 t. sweetener of your choice: agave syrup, sugar, stevia, honey etc.
12 oz. glass

1/8 c. Tajin Clasico Seasoning for the rim (this is a lime, chili and salt seasoning which is, quite honestly, amazing, You can use kosher salt, too)
Sliced grapefruit and lime for garnish

On a small plate, sprinkle Tajin liberally. Wet the rim of a glass with a lime and turn upside down to coat with Tajin. Fill with ice and set aside.

In a shaker, add tequila, lime juice, grapefruit and sweetener to a handful of ice.

Shake to chill and strain into your glass. Top with soda or Squirt. Add garnishes and serve with tacos.

There you have it! I’m wishing you a safe Cinco! Make sure to follow me on Instagram stories for all the festivities!
