We are not one of those people because Mushrooms are so yummy and healthy, they would be hard to live without.

What Can I Cook Using Mushrooms?
Mushrooms can be added to almost any dish including pastas, stir fry's, casseroles, and soups. Sautéed Mushrooms are one of our go-to staples around here. Cooking mushrooms in this manner provides an even richer and deeper flavor to vegan lunches and dinners. Sautéed mushrooms are especially delicious alongside roasted vegetable dishes
