Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

My oven/stove are still broken and I am still grilling!!! I tried these grilled portobello mushrooms for lunch and they are DELICIOUS! The marinade is simple to make and grilling takes under 10 minutes. You can get creative with these mushrooms and put them on a bun for a tasty veggie "hamburger" as I did for my husband, or slice them with other grilled veggies for healthy lunch.

 I made one special one for my daughter, Madeleine, who likes mushrooms but not balsamic vinegar. I minced 1 garlic clove and added it to 1 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl and added a dash of onion powder and a bit of salt. Then I put the olive oil garlic mixture in the gill side of the mushroom and let it sit while the other mushrooms were marinating.
