Just a Little Something

I am still trying to master vegetables on the grill so as a result many of our BBQ meals consist of coleslaw or salad as their vegetable accompaniment.  So when I remembered a portabello mushroom pizza recipe from the GI cookbook I thought I would give a try. Portobellos can't fall through the grill slots as easy as say, zucchini coins.

The following recipe could o

bviously be modified to suit what ever taste.  However, it really does require a grill.  I tried to make it in a skillet pre-outdoor space days and it just went kind of soggy.  It is a good way to load on the veggie content and even with my modifications it is still pretty healthy.
