Stuffed Portabellas - 3 points plus (could be 1.5)

 These are great for the entree or the side dish.
 
Makes 6 mushrooms - 3 points plus per mushroom



Ingredients
6 large Portabella mushrooms.-0
1 bag steam in bag rice and veggies- 10
1/2 avocado (chopped)-4
1 can chicken (drain water)- 2.5
1 laughing cow light cheese (chopped)- 1
diced garlic to taste
salt and peper to taste

heat oven to 350

Place bag of rice in microwave as directed on package. While it cooks, remove stem and clean brown gills from portabella mushrooms and prepare other fillings listed above.. Mix avocado, chicken, cheese, seasonings, and rice mixture together in a large bowl. Place mushrooms on   cookie sheet and stuff with mixture until mixture is gone.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until brown and smelling delicious.

You could also omit the rice in favor of other veggies and cut down on the points, but it will be a little less filling if, like me, you have a man who eats like a horse to feed. lol.

Stuffed Mushroom Caps - 1 Point

I love stuffed mushrooms, but it's hard to find a delicious mushroom cap for so few points. Here's what I've come up with. If you want to drop a to 0 points, you can use spray instead of oil and omit the cheese, but I find the flavor suffers.

3 caps per serving = 1 point per serving

12 large mushrooms - 0 points
1 bag fresh spinach (coarse chopped) - 0 points
1 tsp olive oil - 1.5
1 tbsp garlic (or to taste) - 0 points
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan - 3 points
(salt and pepper to taste)

Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Spray cookie sheet with pam. Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Place the caps on the cookie sheet and chop the stems. Heat oil in a pan and saute garlic with stems until garlic just starts to turn brown. Add the spinach, salt, pepper and turn once or twice until spinach starts to wilt. Toss with cheese until mixed well, then stuff into mushroom caps. Cook for 12-15 minutes.
