Are Mushrooms Keto?

Absolutely! Mushrooms are a unique food group that can be incorporated into all kinds of meals. Some mushrooms offer more than just delicious flavor and are highly regarded for their nutritional and/or medicinal benefits.

If you love mushrooms, check out these other delicious and fun(gi) filled recipes:

  • Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Mushrooms with Bacon
  • Mediterranean Stuffed Mushrooms
  • Garlic Butter Mushrooms
  • Keto Hibachi Mushrooms

It is literally impossible for me to make this or any kind of burger recipe without quoting the scene from the reboot of the Pink Panther, where inspector Jacques Clouseau (played by Steve Martin) is trying to learn to speak with a more Americanized accent. I’m sure Lauren (and most likely our neighbors) must find it annoying. However it is a very satisfying phrase to half yell in your best/worst French accent, go ahead try it…see wasn’t that fun?

This is one of those recipes I make all the time for myself. It reminds me of a more nutritious version of the countless hamburger helper meals I made until I learned how to cook. If it hadn’t been for hamburger helper and my George Foreman grilled chicken breasts my diet would’ve limited to take-out, scrambled eggs, and chex mix. Thankfully I am much more confident in the kitchen nowadays and these Keto Cheeseburger Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Caps are simple, delicious, and hit the spot every time.

    I plan to make these for dinner. I hope they are half as good as the laugh I had watching Steve Martin saying he would like to buy a hamburger. I have not stopped saying this since I watched it. Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to trying it.

One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant. It’s richer than a salsa fresca or pico de gallo and is super creamy from the cooked jalapeños. We love the richness of it and it goes so well with so many things. The recipe can be found via the link in our bio 😉 ⁠

The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠

Are you a mushroom fan? We are! 🍄 We especially Are you a mushroom fan? We are! 🍄 We especially love wild mushrooms but this easy meal of Balsamic Mushrooms with Herbed Veggie Mash is great with your run-of-the-mill creminis which are easy to find at any grocery store. If you have access to other mushroom varieties, we love Maitake in this recipe too.⁠
⁠
The veggie mash is basically our Keto Mashed Cauliflower, we adore this recipe and use it for so many things. It really is perfection. Even if you’re not usually a fan of cauliflower, you’ll love it. And, yes, we know that’s what all the food bloggers say but we promise it’s true!⁠
⁠
Obviously, this recipe is pretty low-calorie so if you’re wanting to bump it up a bit, try serving this as a side with some protein. Tempeh and tofu are the obvious choices for plant-based folks or for omnivores, chicken or steak would be our go-to’s. If you serve this as a main or a side, either way, we bet you’ll love it!⁠

With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focu With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focused. Do you feel the same? With our neighborhood seeing multiple crimes from break-ins, a kidnapping, and carjackings in the past week, the heartbreaking situation in Ukraine, Texas's ambivalence towards human rights, and the ongoing pandemic, times are bleak. But there's also beauty and comfort. For us, beauty was found in a walk around our neighborhood admiring the blooming trees ready for spring (swipe for photos), and comfort found in nourishing meals that feed our bodies as well as our souls. If you missed our new recipe last week, we shared this vegetable soup from our cookbook. It's loaded with veggies and is super comforting to us, reminding us of the vegetable soup we ate as kids, maybe it will be comforting to you too. Our thoughts are with humanity as a whole, may we remember that we're all the same and we all deserve peace.
