Portobello Mushroom Pizza!

Guess what I did last night?!  I cooked!  I know.  It's a shocker for everyone.  Well, if that didn't shock you, it's time that you know that I'm a baker, not a cook.  Ryan does all of the cooking at the house because I am terrible at it.  Now I know that some of you may say, "But Jillian, you make a fantastic lasagna or chicken and rice casserole."  Well, hate to burst your bubble, but that's baking.  There is very little cooking involved in making those recipes. 

Anyway, I cooked last night.  I made Portobello Mushroom Pizza inspired by a pin I found on Pinterest.  I chose this recipe because it actually fit into my diet and I've been missing pizza a little bit.  It's full of veggies, just enough fat with the cheese and olive oil, and Ryan suggested that I add a little bit of beef (we had some venison to use) for some protein.  I did most of the prep.  Ryan fixed the venison and finished chopping some ingredients after I cut my finger :(.  It was super easy to fix though and it was pretty good. 

I learned quite a bit from cooking and even stuck to one of my resolutions!  I'm a little better at chopping than I was before (I didn't use one of those chopping things), learned a lot about different ingredients (had to get the portobello mushrooms and leeks from EarthFare, wish I could shop there more!), found out the fixing dinner right after an intense work-out is super difficult, and that patience is still a virtue.  I'm so appreciative that Ryan was willing to help me and I'm super appreciative that he always cooks.  I don't really find it fun, but I'm so blessed that he does.  I'm so thankful that he cooks so I don't have to eat ramen everyday.

Anyway, that's my post for now. Hopefully, I'll have another one to talk about a successful recipe cooked.  If you don't see a post, then it ended badly.  lol. ;)
