Roasted Portobello Mushrooms with Green Pea Pesto Lentils

By Stacey Homemaker on June 27, 2017, Updated July 17, 2019 9 Comments

Tender slices of garlicky roasted portobello mushrooms and protein-packed lentils swimming in a flavorful green pea basil pesto sauce. Vegan.

I had this delicious dish for dinner when we were on our Disney cruise honeymoon last month.

I couldn’t believe the texture of the roasted portobello mushrooms, it was so meat-like. I had to double check the menu to make sure that my vegan dinner wasn’t really sliced chicken or pork!

Nope, it was definitely a portobello mushroom. Delicious, garlicky, perfectly-cooked roasted portobello mushrooms sitting on top of a mountain of lentils surrounded by a moat of pea pesto sauce.

It was so darn good.

I knew that I had to try recreating it once I got home.

Recreate it, I sure did!

The Best Healthy Breakfast Bowl

Starting the day with a flavorful quinoa breakfast bowl that’s loaded with eggs (or a tofu scramble) and sauteed spinach will kickstart your booty into high gear! Gluten-free + vegan-friendly options.

During the week, Travis usually skips breakfast because he’s not hungry that early and I eat a light breakfast while I watch the news in the mornings. I rotate between avocado toast, a tofu scramble, or mango cherry chia seed pudding cups. On the weekend, I like to make something a little more special like these quinoa breakfast bowls!

Roasted lemon turmeric basil vegetables are coated in a bright and tangy sauce that will thrill your taste buds! Load it on top of quinoa or pair it with chicken or fish for a healthy dinner!

I haven’t been cooking, cleaning, organizing or basically anything along those lines since before the wedding.

Its been three weeks! Agh!

After the wedding, we were so exhausted from everything that I just didn’t have the energy to cook at all. So, we ate out. A lot. We barely ever normally eat out, so our bodies and budgets have not been too happy with our new eating schedule.

Then it happened, my yearning for creating and cooking came right back to me last night! I started thinking about flavor combinations based on the seasonal produce that I’d seen at the market yesterday afternoon, while I was supposed to be sleeping.

No counting sheep for me, I was watching blood oranges, satsumas, and Myer lemons jump around while I dreamt up a citrus themed party in my head.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but our wedding is only one month away!

I feel like we’ve been counting down the days for so long and now the big day is so close. I’m nervous, anxious, stressed, excited, happy, emotional, plus about 50 other feelings all mixed together!

I have my final dress fitting on February 1st, so I’ve been trying to watch what I eat and stick with healthy veggie and protein filled meals.

This is usually how my day goes…
