Thursday I decided to do a "What is your real Age" test on Dr. Oz's site. It included a requirement for my waist measurement. Hadn't thought about it for a long time, but I measured three times because I didn't believe it. No, I am NOT going to say what it was. However, I am hoping that was enough incentive for me to stop shoving food down my mouth at every opportunity. I really need that incentive. My real age, according to this test, was 85.7 which isn't too bad. Stress was a big factor in the measurements and there is nothing much I can do about that. Well, there is in how I handle it but the source of stress is constant. In 2013 I lot 50 lbs and was so pleased I had kept it off until this year. For me the secret to weight loss is sensible eating rather than cutting out this or that food group. So, wish me luck.
I might say, ladydog brought us a "chunk" of her Christmas Cake and we ate a small piece each after supper. Delicious as usual, and I still remained inside my calorie allowance.
I love vegetables and particularly mushrooms, so I thought this was a winner. It is 182 calories a serving. Of course, I love Kevin Lynch's recipes, he is a never fail source of "good stuff" to eat.
Crispy Buttery Garlic Roasted Mushrooms
Garlic and butter roasted mushrooms topped with crispy breadcrumbs!
1 lb button mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp thyme, chopped (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or breadcrumbs; gluten-free for gluten-free)
1/4 cup parmigiano reggino (parmesan), grated
1. Place the mushrooms in a baking dish, spoon the mixture of the butter, garlic and thyme onto the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper.
2. Bake in a pre-heated 400F/200C oven for 10 minutes before sprinkling on the mixture of the breadcrumbs and parmesan and baking until lightly golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Servings: 4
Tips : Garnish with chopped parsley and hit the mushrooms up with a splash of lemon juice just before serving.
