We love using different produce throughout the year. Eating seasonally helps us avoid getting bored and keeps us on a healthy, more varied diet.
Using national holidays as suggestions can be a great way to pick out your meals. While there are large holidays, like Labor Day, there is always something going on. September is National Mushroom Month. The USDA uses the month annually to remind people of fungi’s nutritional benefits and versatility.
We have shared a lot of mushroom recipes over the years. They have all been delicious and low-carb. We have four more recipes that are perfect for dinner. They’re all a little more “out there” than your standard creamed mushrooms or sauteed mushrooms that you might be used to!
If you love Greek flavors, these stuffed mushrooms will be a winner. They are excellent as an appetizer or as a side dish. The fact that they baked twice makes them deliciously browned and toothsome! A serving has 44 calories, two grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and four grams of fat. Get the recipe.
If you are craving fried rice, it can be hard to ignore. But the carbs of white rice can be hard to work into a meal plan. Cauliflower rice is a wonderful option that can hit the spot! This version is flavorful and packed with frozen and fresh veggies, and it’s ready in just half an hour! You can add chicken or tofu to the dish to make it a full meal. A serving has 90 calories, 12 grams of carbs, five grams of fiber and three grams of fat. Get the recipe.
These vegetarian fajitas are a wonderful meatless option when you want something hearty and “meaty” without the meat. Portobello mushrooms stand in as a meat substitute and make this a tasty meal that people will love, as it is colorful and flavorful. We also love that it’s a baking sheet meal that’s easy to prep and clean up afterward! A serving has 152 calories, 13 grams of carbs, four grams of fiber and 11 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. As we head into cooler weather, it’s good to be armed with a few hearty, warm, comforting meals ready to go. This tomato-based mushroom curry is healthy but also creamy and satisfying on a chilly evening. It can be made on the stovetop or in a pressure cooker, so you have a range of options for preparing it. A serving has 174 calories, 18 grams of carbs, five grams of fiber and 11 grams of fat.
