Today's recipe features one of my favorite vegetables, mushrooms! I love pretty much every type of mushroom, especially portobello. I love them raw in salads, sautéed, baked, grilled on a kabob or any other way they're prepared.

These portobello mushroom pizzas are absolutely amazing! They're super easy to make, ready in less than 30 minutes and so easy to change up with your favorite pizza ingredients.

Meatless meals are some of my favorite and we eat them quite often, but if you're a meat lover, definitely add some to these pizzas.

My boyfriend insisted these are just as good as any regular pizza and with the beefy mushroom flavor from the portobellos, you don't even miss the traditional crust.The fresh herbs sprinkled on top add the most amazing flavor. I just love the combo of fresh basil and parsley on so many recipes.

I used large portobellos in this recipe and found them in the bulk bin at Fresh Thyme. If you only have smaller mushrooms available at your grocery store, go ahead and double the amount that you use to end up with the same amount of servings.

I'm really trying to watch my weight gain now that I'm in my 26th week of pregnancy, so these pizzas will make a regular appearance on our dinner menu so I won't get tempted with regular pizza so often! If you're looking for another pizza idea with tons of veggies, give this Vegetable Pizza a try!

I hope your family enjoys these as much as we did! Thanks for stopping by!
