So, I am not sure if it has to do with this little baby inside me or if it’s just a random thing, but I am obsessed with green beans and mushrooms lately. Green bean and mushroom casserole to be exact. The kind you eat on Thanksgiving and Christmas and not many other times than that.

A few months ago (2 maybe) I made it 3 times in one week. I thought it might be the pregnancy, but I thought it could have been the cold weather (although I doubt it). Then this week I was dying to make it again. I decided it would be my main course this week and topped it with some whole wheat stuffing. (I know, this is weird) Anyways, it turned out delicious! Very filling, low in fat, lots of veggies and warm and cozy. Here is my recipe – it was super easy as you can see.

Green Bean Mushroom Stuffing Bake

• 1 can of 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
• 3 cans of french style green beans, drained
• 1 can of mushrooms, drained
• 1 box of whole wheat stuffing mix
• water for stuffing mix
• French’s onions for top – optional.

1. Make stuffing by boiling water and adding mix. Omit the butter if you want to save fat and calories.
2. Mix green beans, mushrooms and soup together
3. Pour veggies with soup into an 8×8 pan
4. Cover veggies with wet stuffing mixture and onions
5. Bake at 400 for 20/25 minutes or until done

This totally hit the spot.

Now I am ready for bed. I had a productive day that started with 45 minutes of Spin this morning at 6am and ended with vacuuming and laundry from the weekend. I

Tip of the Day: Make extra food for dinner so when you clean up the dishes you can pack your lunch at the same time. My lunch for tomorrow is going to be salad and green bean casserole.
