I love the earthy flavor of cooked mushrooms. Roasted, sautéed, grilled. They all lead to goodness. Here’s another way to harness the flavor and love of mushrooms—cream of mushroom soup. And it’s dairy-free. I use either cashew cream or cauliflower for the creamy base. The flavor is equally good in both, but for a slightly …
Chicken Marsala {dairy-free, grain-free}
Ok. Big confession here. When I first tested this dish, I forgot to buy the Marsala wine. So I winged it, and tested a few more times, and now I prefer it without Marsala wine. That said, feel free to use Marsala wine with this recipe. Most of the alcohol cooks off pretty quickly, but …
Rustic Mushroom Spaghetti Squash Sauté

Spinach Mushroom Frittata
Here’s what I’ve been eating while on the run this week. It’s fairly quick to make and it’s a recipe based on veggie leftovers. I ran around all day last Saturday, dashing in and out of the car to avoid a rainy, gloomy day, and then walked for an hour in the rain to exhaust …
Portobello Pizza
Are you a mushroom fan, or are you in the camp that doesn’t eat fungi (my husband’s camp)? I never thought of eating mushrooms as eating fungi, and right now if you take a walk in the forests around the Pacific Northwest, you’ll find edible fungi (not portobello mushrooms though). Just bring a book with …
