4 Budget-Friendly Vegetarian Recipes You Will Love

6:54 AM 0 Comments

 


I'm sharing four budget-friendly vegetarian recipes today on The Daily Connoisseur. The recipe cards are available for you down below. 




I hope you enjoy today's video! Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and sign up for my free monthly newsletter to keep in touch. 

Please note: I have taken a step back from blogging on this platform and am focusing more on my author newsletter and YouTube channel. Blogger has changed so much of its platform and one of the frustrations is how many ads are shown on my site. I am actively working to limit the amount of ads shown here but the new ad protocols are difficult to navigate. I wanted to let you know that. Thank you for your understanding!

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Yield: 4
Author: Jennifer L. Scott
The wonderful umami flavor of Portobello Mushrooms makes this savory dish delightful.

Ingredients

  • 4 large Portobello mushroom caps
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • Handful of favorite herbs, chopped
  • 1 cup tri color couscous, cooked
  • 2 cups yellow lentils or split peas, cooked
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup melted butter.
  • 2 tsp Italian herb seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Clean the mushroom caps and cut off stems, if necessary. Place on a roasting pan, drizzle with avocado oil, add a pat of butter and chopped herbs (ideas are parsley, thyme, dill, scallions, chives). Roast for 15 minutes. To make the filling, combine couscous, beans, breadcrumbs, cheese, chopped mushroom stems, melted butter and Italian herb seasoning. Mix. Add a large heap of filling to each mushroom cap and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

  4. For the herbed sour cream, place sour cream, avocado, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until combined.
  5. Place sweet potato fries on a plate and top with desired amount of beans and a dollop of the herbed sour cream. Enjoy!

English Countryside | Outfits, Food, Travel Essentials | England Vlog 2

7:10 AM 2 Comments

 




** Please Note ** My team and I are in the process of moving the blog to a new site. Because of this, there will likely be an interruption in posts until the new site is up and running. Make sure you are subscribed to my YouTube channel to stay current on all videos. Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to sharing the new blog with you, when it is ready. ~ Jennifer 

 

 Sometimes you step off the busy road and go seeking. How we find ourselves here we don’t know. There appear to be clear paths but there are many. Does it matter which ones we choose? Should we think about it too much? There is beauty at the end of the destination. That is something we do know. But there is also beauty along the way. Sometimes I miss that. The beauty in the details along the everyday path. The changes in scenery as the path unfolds. The excitement of walking that path and visioning what it leads to but not fully knowing for sure. And the final revelation, a moment to soak in. Life, in its essence, is beautiful and to be treasured. I want to appreciate the details. I don’t want to miss them. For the details are what makes the revelation so grand.

In today's video we explore some of the small details of my trip to England. 

This berry compote would be easy to replicate. I will try to do so back in America. 


What do I have for breakfast? It's an obscure topic, but I always enjoying knowing what people like to eat for breakfast, especially while traveling. While my breakfast isn't particularly English in nature, I have been enjoying a very steady combination of Greek yogurt, granola, and berries... usually with a piece of hot, buttered toast with a savory spread on it (like pâté or taramasalata).

DesignWorks Ink Travel Jewelry Case I have been looking for a case like this for a long time. I normally struggle to store my jewelry while traveling and combine it with makeup in my makeup bag. 

The little compartments in this case make it easy to organize my jewelry. I love it! 

For perfume, I have been using the Pinrose petals in the scents Secret Genius, Mystical Misfit, and Merry Maker. Code JSCOTT gives 20% off all petal kits. These are great to travel with and distribute an even scent that is not too strong. 

I used the Nomad Lane Bento Bag (link gives $20 off at check-out) for my carry-on and it performed beautifully. It fit my laptop in it, along with so many other things all kept neat and tidy in their little compartments. The trolley sleeve on the back slides easily over the bars of the rolling luggage. It was perfect. 

I give a little wardrobe tour in the video to share what I brought from my ten-item wardrobe to accommodate the English climate. 

I hope you find today's video enjoyable.  Here are links to items featured:

Love,

Jennifer
