Heat a little oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the mushroom in the hot oil, cap side down, and cook until slightly browned. Flip to cook the gill side until almost tender, but not mushy. Drain on several sheets of paper towel to absorb as much water as possible. Place the mushroom cap, gill side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and a little garlic powder. Spread the sauce over the mushroom, then top with half of the cheese and the toppings of your choice. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and desired seasonings. Broil about a minute or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 20g Fat 12g Protein 6g Carbohydrate 1g Dietary Fiber 5g Net Carbs less

We both take insulin and now I am on the pump. We have never been able to keep it in control..lol. Very very fortunate the Lord has kept us. The thing about it is the fact when our sugars get too high or too low there is no telling how we will act or what we will say. This is one thing i surely pray about and I ask the Lord to heal us it seem everyday. We never believed or had any hope of healing until we met Jesus..and we are not giving up..lol. less
