Such great recipes ya'll! Hey cloudy, are you a professional chef? Your wife/girl friend must be very happy having you around.

For all you health nuts out there that want a quick fix dinner - I concocted this the other night (after raiding the fridge) and turned out wonderful! Works for the Vegetarian as well as the meat lover. All it takes is some imagination and you can call it yours! "The Portabella Fling" Chop up some of the following or substitute what's in your fridge: Bell Pepper (red adds great color) Onion Smoked Pork Chop or shrimp, or your choice! Fresh Spinach Zucchini Any veggies you have on hand.. Toss all of the above together. Add a 1/2 Cup of grated cheese to every cup of the above mix. Goat cheese is great with the shrimp except you might use a little less. Take a big Portabella Mushroom, turn it upside down on a microwavable plate and then spoon at least 1-1/2 cups of the veggie mix on it. Microwave for 2-1/2 minutes. Dice up some fresh tomato and add to the tops and Voila! Dinner! O.K. - it may not be pretty - just drain off the excess liquid and if you want pretty just transfer to another plate. Pour a glass of Shiraz and dinner is ready! Haven't tryed broiling it yet but am sure that would work as well as grilling it in some closed aluminum foil. Happy eating! Lu
