Meatless Thursdays - Creamy Portobello Mushroom Wholemeal Burger

I've decided to make my Thursdays meatless from now.

I will start with just once a week for the time being.

Previously, I tried to stop all meat at one go,

but found that it's really hard to manage, mentally or physically.

The more I think of vegetarian, the more I will think of meat!

I think that's pretty unhealthy, so I guess it's good to start slow.

Waking up in the morning, 

I remembered that it's Thursday!

& I quickly ran through my thoughts on what to make for dinner...

I had to work, but still decided to bake burger buns.

Prepared everything and let the dough go through final proofing while I go to work,

in the end, the burgers got so big when I came back!

 And here's the freshly baked burger with creamy portobello mushroom!

The mushroom is supposed to imitate the meat patty...

Look what happens after taking a bite..

The cream oozed out! 

But hey, my man was tricked~ it's not cream..it's actually blended tofu!

eating healthy food, but thought it's something sinful =)

 it gave me a sense of satisfaction once again!

Now, I got to start thinking about meatless dishes to cook on every Thursday!
Will share the recipe of the wholemeal bread in my next post!
