For St. Patrick’s Day, most food bloggers are posting green brownies, cakes, and cookies. What is on my mind? Avocados! And the perfect “side” for some avocado… how about a portabello mushroom burger? See the picture, there is green in the smashed avocado… so I’m safe, no pinching!!!

I love these because they literally take minutes to prepare, and are extremely healthy. Although, in addition to the big slice of swiss cheese, I added something else that made it a bit less healthy. Vegetarians hide your eyes… bacon! Yes, I took an entree that is typically thought of as a vegetarian “substitute” and added bacon to it. BUT, I loved every bite! With some avocado spread into the bun, and grilled onions, this meal really hit the spot.
