I love stuffed mushrooms, but since they are often served as an appetizer, often full of calories, I wanted to created a high protein stuffed, vegetarian mushroom that could be dinner, and this is what I came up with. Funny how the inspiration comes about…

I have now served this recipe to my own family, another group of five, and then another group of four, and they all loved it! I highly recommend this gluten free vegetarian meal for you and your loved ones! There is something about the decadent-tasting creamed spinach as the base for the stuffed mushroom… this meal is incredible! Between the quinoa, portobello mushroom, kale, parmesan and spinach, this meal is full of protein and nutrition.Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.
