About Me

Douglasville, Georgia, United States
I've been battling my PCOS diagnosis for nearly a year now and I'm on my way to living a healthy, productive life. With God by my side, a little education, and a lot of discipline ... life is good. I'm married and expecting our first child! If you're looking for advice on drug therapies and quick fixes, you're in the wrong place. Here, I am taking a diet based approach to PCOS and doing great. But I won't lie, it's a bumpy road and there are backslides. I'm still learning and the journey is far from over. But we take it one day at a time ... and always look to God for guidance in our times of need. :D

PCOS RECIPE: Portobello Mushroom Spaghetti

Ingredients:


  • Prego Light Smart Traditional Sauce (It is low in sugar, however, some organic brands have even less if you're willing to fork out the dough)
  • Cup of Baby Bella Mushrooms (chopped to desired size)
  • 1lb. of lean ground beef OR1/2lb. of lean ground beef and 1/2lb. of Italian sausage
  • Oregano to taste
  • Minced Garlic to taste
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 Box of Quinoa Pasta, Brown Rice Pasta, or Whole Grain Pasta
Directions:

Boil a pot of water for the pasta and cook to directions on box.
In a skillet, put a tablespoon of olive oil and add mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes and add minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat and place to the side. 
In a skillet, put a tablespoon of olive oil and add ground meat, garlic, and oregano. Cook till meat is cooked through.
In a pot, combine sauce, meat, and mushrooms. Heat on low for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. 

Assemble on plate and top with some cheese ... Mmmmmmm. 

What makes this a PCOS friendly recipe is the fact that the sauce is lean and low sugar and the pasta is whole grain which makes our bodies happy! For an even healthier meal, make a small bowl of pasta and proceed dinner with a small salad. That'll cut your carb intake for this meal by 25-30%.
