Tuscan Portobello Stew

This Tuscan Portobello Stew is vegetarian, but you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone, meat-eater or otherwise, who doesn't love it. Did you know the portobello is really a brown crimini mushroom? Once the little crimini grows up to be about 4" - 6" in diameter, it becomes a portobello. The portobello in Northern Italy is called "cappellone" which means "big hat". This stew is wonderfully rich, but only has about 310 calories per serving. I suppose adding the big hunk of crusty bread might take it over the edge! The recipe calls of dried herbs, but I used fresh.

Dutch Baby with Mushrooms, Leeks & Arugula

A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, or a Dutch puff, is a large American popover and is similar to a large Yorkshire pudding. I love making them because they have minimal ingredients and you can either make them sweet or savory. This Dutch Baby with Mushrooms, Leeks & Arugula is a great combination and makes an easy weeknight meal.

Balsamic Rosemary Beef Steak Tips and Mushrooms

Steak tips are actually Flap meat, which is a thin cut of meat that comes from the bottom sirloin butt, similar to flank, hangar or skirt steak. The marinade for these Balsamic Rosemary Beef Steak Tips and Mushrooms is a wonderful combination of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, rosemary, garlic and a touch of sugar, which helps tenderize the meat.

Mushroom and Feta Pasta

This recipe was given to me by a friend in London. I used to make this Mushroom and Feta Pasta when we were first married for dinner parties.  It's "cheap and cheerful" as we used to say. It's one of my all-time favorite pasta dishes. It's simple and really delicious.

Mushroom Carbonara

My family loves carbonara. It's one of the things I make often. This Mushroom Carbonara is the perfect midweek meal. Mushrooms take the place of the traditional bacon in this vegetarian carbonara recipe. A deep browning on the umami-packed mushrooms, coupled with garlic and shallots, takes this dish to a whole other level.
