My mother loves the mushrooms and I find them very delicious too, but sometimes you feel like you are doing the same recipes over and over and you get tired of an ingredient, so that is when I love you posting new recipes with common ingredients to enjoy the meal in a healthy way, so really thanks!

My aunt used to have many pickles in her fridge when I was little and my favorite ingredient of them was the mushroom, actually I haven’t taste it for a long it in that style so now that I’ve seen this, I feel like, so thanks for sharing something from my childhoon

the cream, a little bit thick can be a perfect sauce for any dish, maybe lasagna, or spaghetti, or any other product of grain or even with some vegetables or potatoes, so I think that this is the best recipe in the list, and the portobello mushrooms are pretty delicious too!

There are not so many people who enjoy mushrooms but the one that loves them, really enjoy including them in almost all recipe they prepare, and I am one of those! Good luck I found this webpage to fulfill my mind with new knowledge and of course recipes!

mushrooms are delicious and you have to teach your children from small to eat them because many people dislike them since they weren’t educated to eat them and that is such a mistake as you can find a really good food in it and full of nutrients for the whole family

You know…I have never been a mushroom fan. It’s something about the texture, I just can’t get over it! And I think it’s even worse when they’re cooked, they get slimy and smell…and I just can’t do it. My fiance fries them up and eats a big ole bowl of them, so maybe I’ll have to give these recipes a try for him!
