Hello and thank you for your anniversary wishes today!
Did you know that the month of September is National Mushroom Month? :)
I am very excited to tell you about a recipe challenge I was asked to participate in called ‘Mushroom Masters: A Tournament of Taste’.
Tastespotting is hosting the event along with the Australian Mushroom Growers Association, Mushrooms Canada and The Mushroom Council (US). Twelve food bloggers (3 from each: Canada, US, and Australia) were asked to compete in this challenge and we were offered compensation to participate.
I was assigned to this week’s Portabella Playoff competition! I am up against two very talented bloggers- Jules of Stone Soup and Sara of Sprouted Kitchen. When I was introduced to their beautiful food blogs, I thought they had made a mistake in selecting me! I knew I had to come up with something great…or bust.
I put my Portabella Thinking Cap on and came up with a mouth-watering Stuffed Portabella Pizza in a Cashew Basil Cheese Sauce. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!
Here are a few teaser shots…
Oh yes.
It tastes just like pizza! Eric and I had to fight for the last ‘slice’. ;)
I can’t wait to make this recipe again. Did I mention it is vegan and gluten-free too? :)
Easy Stuffed Portabella Pizza in a Cashew Basil Cheese Sauce
I voted for you! And you are currently winning, with 86% of the votes! Your recipe kicks butt!
Thanks everyone!! :)
I just discovered your blog (thanks to Google Reader for suggesting you!)
I haven’t had time to read a lot, but from what I see it looks fantastic. Your message really spoke to me as a recovered distorted eater/body & food obsessed person. Ahhhh recovery it’s amazing… And did I see that you are Canadian too??
Voted for you!! I looooove portobella mushrooms and your dish looks absolutely delicious…good luck!
I love the idea of a stuffed portabella pizza. I always avoid portabellas because I never know what to do with them. I may have to add these to the menu next week. Thanks!
I just voted for these, and you are winning by a mile! If only I could find some portabella mushrooms I would run out and make these tonight! (instead I am making stuffed patty pan squash)
It’s an awesome, awesome recipe!! Way to go Angela, we are winning by a long shot!! Go Canada Go!! :)

love love that stuffed mushroom! it’s so huge i thought it was a potato at first :D
I am sure that people who like mushrooms will love your recipes! You are so inventive. Personally, I can’t STAND the taste of mushrooms. I especially can’t stand it when the vegetarian/vegan options always include mushrooms. Or when they try and use mushrooms to taste like meat. Gross, I don’t eat meat for a reason! It’s disgusting!
Angela,
I recently tried a tomato basil soup at a restaurant. The manager told me that it had pumkin in it as well. It was delicious! They recently discontinued making the soup, and I have decided to try find a recipe to replicate it. Have you ever tried to make a tomato pumpkin soup before??
Yummy, the shroomies look delicious! I’ll have to try the recipe… I’m always up for a vegan gluten-free pizza!
Congrats also on your two years!! I have to ask… Does Eric already know what the trad gifts are for anniversaries? Or did you have to tell him?
My husband and I will have our two-year anniversary in September… but I love the idea of doing the anniversary book anyway. Maybe I’ll put a swatch of cotton in it :) He might think the whole thing is lame though :)

I have these YUMMY mushroom pizzas in my oven right now!!! Can’t wait to try them, they look so wonderful! Speaking of wonderful, I put White Chocolate Wonderful in my GM today and it was AMAZING!!!
First, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
These look and sound delicious! My boyfriend and I absolutely love Portabellas, we will have to try out this recipe very soon.
I voted for you! :-)
Hey Angela,
Congrats on your wedding anniversary…..
Just wondering if you have any ideas for
night snacking, religiously for as long as I can
remember @ 9.30 pm I have tea and 2 slices of whole grain
toast, and wait… a choc bar tut tut tut, it is such a bad habit
I cant break, I’d appreciate any ideas, love your recipies by the
way have tried a few now….
thanks xoxox
That looks really really yummy.
I voted for you, and not just because I love your blog, but because I think your recipe was genuinely the best! Very creative and looks so tasty!
What a wonderful find. I’m just in the midst of the recipe and will be trying it out this evening.
It was obvious, the dish was absolutely delightful. It was so good that a neighbor even tried it which was also a smash hit. Well don, Angela.
So glad to hear that Michael!
Holy wow…these were phenomenal! The only thing I subbed on the mushroom was I used diced sauteed zucchini in place of the peppers. I can get my boyfriend to try a vegan meal, but I cannot get him to eat peppers!
That cashew cheese is just too good. I mean seriously too good! I added about 1/8 tsp of smoked paprika to your recipe and now I have to hide it in the back of the fridge so I don’t eat it all!
Really awesome recipe…this will definitely be making it into the meal rotation!
Uh. Mah. Gah. Why oh why don’t we have portabellos in this house right now? And hurry up nuts.com order with my nutritional yeast!! I have been reading recipe after recipe that includes the cashew cheese and I’m dying to try it. I’m newly 75% vegan and have SO much I want to make and try! Including that “corn butter” I shared with you on FB this morning. :)
