Best Vegan Mushroom Burgers

The sun is shining bright.

We change the clocks this weekend – there will be more light! (Also, did you Oregonians see the bill to keep daylight savings year ’round?! I am so in.

Is it too soon to think about summer BBQ?

Okay, probably. I am very much looking forward to brighter days and spring temperatures. …not just because I have so many ideas for farmers market produce and light, summery meal plans.

Also because I want to see if the Best Vegan Mushroom Burgers will hold up on the grill. After several times making this recipe and having it …

This has been the best week so far for #MushroomMakeover – I loved last week’s workouts, and I think I must be seeing the results this week. I have also had positive feedback from a couple people who don’t see me daily. The CORE and GUNS workouts from last week are definitely going to become regular workouts for me, in addition to my favorites we are revisiting this week, the BURN and BUILD. My energy level is high, and I am not really feeling the afternoon tireds I sometimes do. (When I do? Green Tea!)

Corinne’s weekly focus is a really good one this week as well – I talked about one aspect of it here. The other part is keeping a food journal, via an app or old fashioned pen and paper. You know me and my lists and my handwritten everything – I totally got into this. I also noticed that it helped me continue last weeks focus of eating mindfully. Heh – it’s almost like Corinne planned this, yes?

It was a good week all around.

I am also …

“I’m really intuitive about these things. I’ve predicted two of my friends’ divorces, one pregnancy and a couple of natural disasters.”

Elijah is one of my favorite Girls characters. I can still see him edging his way into the cast photo at the end of the season three finale…

So.

I have heard many friends talk about Girls for some time now. Finally decided to look for it, watch it.

Um.

That was when I returned from vacation last week. Jason and I watched all three seasons, in time to catch up and watch the finale this past Sunday.

This is our favorite way to watch a series, actually. We …

I am wrapping up week four of the Mushroom Makeover, and I have all kinds of emotion and elation going on. I have loved this process. All of it.

Okay, perhaps not all of it – those workouts were killer to start. The awesome thing is? They do get easier! Going from finishing two or three circuits (always with a promise to Mark that I’d complete all four by end of day) to feeling stronger (oh my arms!) and seeing progress and change (oh my arms!). There is more than that, though – …

Week Two of #MushroomMakeover is coming to a close, and for me, this week was even better than last!

The workouts from our trainer Mark Segedie, continue to be both fun and challenging! This week included two arm circuits – good because I really want to focus on my arms lately, bad because I have not focused on my arms lately. Ha! Noodle arms over here. I am loving the challenges, making sure I get to my 10,000 steps a day (some days, SO EASY, other days that number seems so unattainable). Most days I get there, as well as drinking plenty of water as RD Corrine reminds us to do.

Working with the registered dietitian Corinne Dobbas this week was a good thing too – our focus this week was to be mindful with our meals – focus on the food rather than the television, laptop, whatever the usual distraction may be. Eat slowly, enjoying the flavors, the textures, all of it. I will admit this was a difficult challenge for me, and one where I learned some things about myself. It took some effort at lunch time – when I am normally on my own during the day – to sit and enjoy, without working in front of the computer or watching television. I made myself go outside to sit in the sunshine during breakfast one day – I enjoyed the sunshine and the dachshunds sat out there with me, taking it all in. A big challenge for me is background noise – I found I need it, or at least think I do. I will definitely continue to work on this one, as it is bigger than this one week project for me.

Between the workouts, staying hydrated, eating healthfully and mindfully, I found the number on the scale is once again less than the week before. This is a positive for me – I rarely step on the scale and this was not my biggest reason for taking on the #MushroomMakeover challenge, but it is definitely a nice aspect.

This week’s Mushroom Makeover meals:

baby bella, red pepper and arugula sandwich

March 19, 2014 by Kristina Sloggett 23 Comments

We are halfway through week two of the #MushroomMakeover. I am obligated to post one recap per week, but as always, when excited about something, I do more – in addition to the weekly review, I will be sharing some of the recipes I’ve been making recently. My recap posts will be at the end of each week, on Fridays or Saturdays.

This sandwich was especially good, and I am really liking arugula lately also. Such a unique flavor, and it goes well with the crispy sauteed mushrooms and the sweet and mildly spicy red peppers. The garlicy bean spread provides some extra oomph and flavor – this would be great as a bowl, as well – over quinoa or salad.

A couple of years ago, via The Chew, Mario Batali taught us …

Miso Arugula Greens with Roasted Portobello

Miso Arugula Greens with Roasted Portobello – fresh and flavorful, umami and tangy, this savory salad is perfect as an entree or a starter!

It wasn’t so very long ago that I was talking about how I stood at the kitchen counter and ate an entire skillet of sauteed mushrooms… only to make another batch because my snack was meant for a recipe.

Only in my kitchen does this kind of thing happen?

Didn’t think so.

I love my mushrooms.

Which is why I am so excited to be chosen by The Mushroom Council and Mamavation as an ambassador and…
