Ahhh, you guys. These Sausage Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are my new favorite thing, I’m not even kidding.  You know I love using vegetables as a carb replacer like with THESE bell peppers or THESE bell peppers or ALL the spaghetti squash.  PS, spell check is telling me that “carb replacer” isn’t a thing?   Um, I have to disagree, carb replacer is TOTALLY a thing, and these Sausage Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms are totally one of them.  Those?  Anyhoo.
