Stacy's Mushroom Indulgence

Mushrooms may be a fungus...but they taste good to me!!!
I bought some delicious Portabella Mushroom Patties and topped it with beans, raisins, and of course...hummus. I decided it would be nice to have it with mushrooms as well. Yummy.

First I heated the Mushroom Patty on the Stove, first spraying the pan with some Canola Oil Spray (no added ingredients, no fat....) instead of Olive Oil to save calories.
Then I added black beans, raisins, and cranberries to the Patty on the Stove.
Finally I put all of this on top 2 c of Spinach...I was going to cook the Spinach but I try to eat at least 5 servings of raw veggies a week.

1 Garden Burger Portabella Mushroom Patty (6 grams of Protein...5 grams of Fiber...who knew)
2 c of Spinach
1/2 c of Mushrooms (sliced)
1 dollop of hummus
1 tbsp of raisins
1 tbsp of cranberries
2 tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar

From this meal, I got 3 servings of veggies and 6 grams of Protein to keep me nice and full.
