Portobello Mushroom Pizzas

We've had a lot going on in our house the past few weeks. Between getting our deck redone, our AC breaking and waiting a week and a half to have it repaired, and cleaning out all the furniture/junk in the guest room to prepare the baby's nursery, the last thing I've wanted to do is make time-consuming meals or things that would take a long time in the oven.

Enter Portobello Mushroom Pizzas. Since we ate out quite a bit while our AC was broken, it's a nice change of pace to have something that is easy to make that's still healthy and satisfying. Portobello mushrooms replace carb-loaded crusts, while the tomato sauce and cheese add the familiarity we're all used to. Both Chris and I really enjoyed these, and the scale thanked us, too. Enjoy!
