Fig Balsamic Mushrooms on Hot Pepper Focaccia

More often than not, I feel like I'm scraping together a "meal."
And more often than not, it tastes like I'm scraping together a "meal."

Tilapia with..... umm.... limp frozen asparagus? just had it.
Guac made with only one avocado? all the time.
Cereal as dessert?? uh huh.

Somehow something went differently this weekend and I was blown away by how perfectly this simple—yet, incredible—meal was! I had just bought hot pepper garlic focaccia bread from the Farmer's Market and found portabella mushrooms in my crisper. Ah hah!
