Creamy Goat Cheese and Kale topped Portobello

So I wanted to try something a little different and when I came across this recipe and knew I had to try it. I just recently started eating portobello mushrooms (Steve made me try them) and I actually really like them now. They are healthy, filling and delicious! I never liked mushrooms but now they are growing on me. I was hesitant about working with the kale because I have only ever used Kale to make Kale chips in the oven but it ended up turning out great and really filling. Here's the recipe, I'll definitely be making this again. Could be used as a small meal or as a side dish. 

What you need

-Large portobello mushroom

-Kale 

-Olive oil 

-Goat Cheese

-Garlic

-Sun dried tomatoes

-Salt and Pepper to taste

What to do

Roast the mushrooms in the oven until they start to get brown and juicy. Meantime in a frying pan add the oil and garlic and then the kale and let it all cook down. Once the kale has cooked down add the goat cheese and chopped sun dried tomato and watch it all melt together then put it on top of the mushroom and put it back in the oven for another few minutes. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Yesterday I wanted to experiment with some recipes from Pinterest so I tried this no bake oatmeal cookie. The recipe was very simple and it was all things that I already had in my house which made it even easier. 

What you'll need
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 stick butter 
- 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 cups oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats, not instant)

What to do

Mix the sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in a medium saucepan.

Boil for 1 minute.

Add the peanut butter and vanilla. 

Mix quickly until peanut butter melts, then add the oatmeal and mix til well blended.

Drop spoonfuls on tin foil, wax paper or parchment. Allow to set and cool completely.

Makes 2 dozen 3 inch cookies.

They were delish! I even froze some for when my friends come next week. 

Let's Go Mountaineers!

So how about those Mountaineers!! 

Steve and I waited all day for this game to come on! We spent the day Saturday doing things around the house and I went grocery shopping. We also carved pumpkins and I made some roasted pumpkin seeds. 

I made taco rollups for dinner click here for the recipe they were sooooo good but they didn't look a thing like the picture which was fine with me. I don't care how they look as long as they taste amazing! Here's a picture of what they were suppose to look like...and I'll spare you from my disaster of a picture

And then we tuned in to watch the WVU Game! What a game I was nervous for a little but Steve was cool, calm and collected as usual. After the win we were both ecstatic! I wore a West Virginia shirt to the grocery store and got so many compliments! Today (Sunday) we just finished watching the Steelers beat the Eagles and are enjoying a relaxing weekend at home. I turned the couch into a pillow nest and have been laying here working and watching football all day.

For dinner we are going to have left over eggplant parm that I froze a few weeks ago. I've never froze individual pieces of eggplant parm and then reheated them so I wonder how they are going to be ill let you all know! Happy Sunday!
