Enjoyed without the scrutinizing gaze and looks of disgust from the fungal-phobes…CHECK.

The truth is, my husband and kids wouldn’t touch this with a ten foot pole, and would make all sorts of death wails and moans of despair if I even attempted to serve this as dinner.  Their loss.  And this is why I love that there are so many little ‘just for one’ recipes in my Trim Healthy Mama book.  Sometimes it’s nice to enjoy a little solitary treat.

If you’re not sure about where you stand on the whole mushroom issue, then please allow me to make a plea on behalf of the portobello.  She is not slimy and gross and…slimy like her smaller cousins.  The large portobellos have a thick cap that has been compared to the texture of a steak.  The flavor, of course, is earthy in a very pleasant way.  And if you top them with enough cheese, then they are AMAZING!

I grilled mine, and they were beautiful and slightly smoky and like this…

So, this week on Trim Healthy Tuesday, I’ll share this yummy grilled portobello pizza recipe with you!

Disclaimer: this is a pretty heavy S meal.  I will do this from time to time if I’ve been naughty and have gone too long between meals, or skipped a meal, and food no longer sounds good.  I’ll make a little feast of a heavy S meal, and get myself back on track.  It’s kinda fun to juggle the heavy S meal from time to time!

This portobello pizza recipe is the perfect instant crust for mini-pizzas.  They’re TOTALLY easy to do.  In fact, I’m a little embarrassed to even CALL this a ‘recipe’ but hey…you’re making it from scratch, so it totally counts.  If you don’t have a grill handy, you can also use your broiler.

Please don’t miss out on all of the great Trim Healthy Tuesday links right below this printable portobello pizza recipe.
