DD Friendly: Onion Mushroom Burger with Cheesy Tomato Sauce

This recipe is originally from Ella (The single woman’s kitchen).

Here is what you need:

Portabella mushrooms (cut into small cubes)

Onions

3 lb of 90% lean ground beef

3 TBSP grainy mustard

salt and pepper

For the sauce:

1 can tomato sauce

Oregano to taste

A handful of mozzarella cheese

Mix mushrooms, onions, beef, mustard, salt and pepper together. Form into balls and place in oven at 350F until it’s cooked through. While the meat is baking, heat the tomato sauce and add oregano and cheese. Once the meat is ready, spread sauce over it and enjoy!

Enjoy!

Hey! This is my second post of the day but I'm just super excited about posting about this topic. I don’t know if you have heard about the Dukan Diet (I prefer to call it more of a lifestyle change) but I am currently on it. I started in July (2011) and have lost a total of 30 pounds. I am half way to my goal weight and suddenly am stuck (for almost a month, BOO). Once in a while, every other week or so, a few pounds will go down but not enough to make me jump for joy. Anyway, I just wanted to share with you my meals for the day.   

For breakfast I had Oat bran (2T) with low fat milk and a yogurt. For lunch I made my DD version of zuppa toscana. 

·         Ground Italian sausage mixed with lean ground beef +egg+spices
(You don’t have to use Italian; I just had some left over- I don’t think we are allowed to use Italian but it was just a little ;D )
·         1 big red pepper+ 2 small peppers sliced
·         ½ sliced onion (I like mine big)
·         Water
·         ½  white cabbage sliced
·         Cheese (to top it in the bowl)
·         Parsley
·         1 pkge Fettuccini style shirataki noodles chopped
·         1 scrambled egg  (sounds weird, I know, but yummy)

YYou can also add: kale, chicken bouillon, 2 tsp garlic puree, 4 Tbsp bacon pieces. I just tossed in what I had on hand (didn’t really feel like shopping). 

 

For Dinner, I made 

Sweet and Spicy Cumin-Infused Meatball Deliciousness.

I followed just about everything except adding in cumin, pork, beef stock, and I kept my eggplant big. Follow the link on the picture or the title ^ for the original recipe. I will be posting dessert tomorrow!!!
