A heartwarming fall dinner.  

Plan on having a relaxed night-in after a long day and don’t know what to eat? Instead of ordering take-out, why not try to prepare something simple yet nourishing for yourself this evening.

We know cooking might seem boring or you could be in a lazy mood to go through a bunch of steps. To help yourself through the cooking process, why not play some jazz music or put on a podcast? Feel free to let loose and move around your kitchen. Or just go with the flow; allow the preparation to help you unwind and relieve some of the tension built up during the day.

This stuffed portobello mushroom is juicy, tasty, filling, and nutritious. It is also vegan friendly, gluten-free and doesn’t require a long list of ingredients. Healthworks ground flaxseed is a perfect topping on baked dishes for a delicate crispy layer. Moreover, Healthworks pumpkin seeds are known to contain nutrients such as iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, and zinc. The pumpkin seeds also add a great crunch and texture to every bite.

Sometimes, it’s worth the extra time to make something fresh at home!
