Whether you’re hosting a party or looking for a quick and easy snack, these stuffed mushrooms with Kale & Onions are sure to be a hit. So next time you’re in the mood for something savory, earthy and delicious, give this recipe a try!

Mushrooms are very delicate so you have to handle with care, but also, they grow around dirt and soil and can be quite dirty so, it is important to wash them throughly. 

How to clean cremini mushrooms

You probably have heard others saying that you should never wash mushrooms, because they absorb a lot of water. A popular advice is to gently wipe the surface with a damp paper towel. The way I do, gets the best of both worlds. 

First, soak mushrooms for just a few minutes, that way to you eliminate all the dirt from the surface the easy way, as well as any bug that might be inside. 

After that, you can gently wipe the surface with a damp paper towel or simply place on a bed of paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water. 
 

A zero-waste recipe

Once the mushrooms are clean, go ahead and remove the bottoms, which you can chop finely with the kale and use in the stuffing. 

For this recipe I am using kale, but  you can use spinach or other veggies you have on hand, and use the stems as well. Kale stems can be a bit hard, so I like to blanch them for a few seconds, and they are ready to use. 

Give the earth and your pocket a favor and don’t throw them away, you can always use them for stuffing, salads, rice, pastas, curries, soups, stews and many more preparations!

Now, let’s get into it.

Easy & Satisfying Chia Pudding {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

Chocolate Chia Pudding

The ONE thing I have struggled the most since my “trying-very-hard-to-eat-healthier” journey started is breakfast. Growing up we had a lot of what you consider common: “breads, milk, cheese, chocolate, eggs”, that let me feeling bloated and with stomach pain, and dominican favorites like mangú, or other roots with eggs, that although I loved, made me feel too heavy in the morning. The healthiest breakfast we came across at the time was oatmeal porridge, but it was too slimy for my taste. Saying I hated it is probably an understatement… 

I have actually come across chia seeds years ago. Someone told me that it help you lose weight. Just mix it with water, let it rest for a few minutes, and drink it all day long for I don’t remember what long. It seemed easy enough, so I went ahead and bought a huge bag of chia seeds. To make the story short, I hated it and regretted so much to spend my money on that. my first big bag of chia seeds I hated those tiny seeds in my water. 

Thanks God Pinterest exists now to help me feed my inspiration hunger. There I came across this Chocolate Chia Pudding and many other ways to use chia in the kitchen.  Adding chocolate was such a revelation! In case you don’t know chia seeds have the super power of transforming any liquid into a gel-like consistency, so in a few minutes you can make this pudding for breakfast, snack or even dessert. If you want a smooth consistency, you can use a high-speed blender, like Ninja, Vitamix and the like.
