Mushrooms


What are you doing with all your free time? I’ve definitely been spending more time in the kitchen. On one recent trip to the grocery store, there were very few veggies. But, I did find a 2-pound pack of mushrooms. I love mushrooms, but what the heck do you do with two pounds? That’s precisely why I decided to make cream of mushroom soup.

When you’re in the middle of a busy week, there’s nothing better than having a few easy, reliable meals in your back pocket. This Savory Mushroom and Spinach Stir-Fry has become one of my go-to recipes when I need something quick, healthy, and satisfying — and it all starts with one of my favorite ingredients: crimini mushrooms.

As a kid, my Thanksgiving plate was basically white — turkey breast, mashed potatoes, and a dinner roll. It’s not that my family didn’t have more choices on the table, it’s that my midwestern palate just never got very developed. I never ate the cranberries, the gravy or the stuffing. Being the baby of the family, my parents never forced me to try things I didn’t want to try, so my experience with food was limited, at best.
