Sooo I’ve been reading this and it’s sort of making me never want to eat meat again. How’s that for an attention catching first sentence?! I mentioned this idea to my family last night and in between scoffs and laughter they told me I was crazy. I’m not even sure I want so say goodbye forever, all I said was that I think I could be a pescetarian and it opened up a can of worms 🙂
I find myself naturally gravitating toward more whole and plant based foods and these mushrooms are no exception. While there is a little cheat in these with the blue cheese, they are quite the delight as a meal or a side dish. You can even mimic this preparation with stuffed white button mushrooms for a simple and savory appetizer!

This is an old Norah Jones diddy but the beat gets me every time and I love it.
