Web site Issues

Have been you looking for one thing on my weblog on Saturday and a few unusual, utterly completely different web site was on right here as an alternative? Yeah, that occurred! I had a significant (main) technical hiccup over the weekend. I had employed somebody to maneuver my portfolio from my previous host to my present one and the portfolio was unintentionally uploaded to this area as an alternative.

And after Oh My Veggies was restored, my recipes have been down for a bit. I heard from not less than one one that was about to make a recipe after which—POOF!—it had vanished. So I’m sorry if that occurred to you. I additionally misplaced some feedback, so for those who left one and it’s not revealed, now why—it’s not as a result of I’m a jerk who hates feedback and other people. Now that that’s out of the way in which, we are able to transfer onto much more vital questions…

A Mushroom by Any Different Title

…is it bizarre that everybody else appears to say portobello mushroom and I say portabella? (In line with Wikipedia, it is acceptable to name them portabella mushrooms. Acceptable however unpopular.) There are too many o’s in portobello and it simply doesn’t roll off the tongue like portabella does. Additionally, I’m the boss of me; I do what I would like. (Sometime I’m going to get a tattoo that claims that. If solely all these phrases would match on my knuckles.)

In regards to the Recipe

On matter! Pizza Quinoa Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms. The images don’t do these justice, however belief me, they’re scrumptious. I’ve been enamored with Meals Doodles’ Pizza Quinoa Casserole recipe for some time now. Often I throw some veggies into it, however then I obtained the concept to stuff the pizza quinoa into veggies. I used to be going to do zucchini, however since I already posted Taco-Stuffed Zucchini this summer season, I went with portabella mushrooms as an alternative. Taco zucchini! Pizza mushrooms! What different loopy quick meals kinds of issues can I stuff into greens? (Falafel Eggplant may be scrumptious, however please cease me once I publish Cinnabon-Stuffed Butternut Squash.)
