I love eating mushrooms! I like that they are healthy and I put them in so many of my recipes. I like them in soups, pizza, sauteed and put on top of a good steak. There are so many ways to make mushrooms!
I can’t stand mushrooms, but I didn’t know there were so many health benefits from them, I will have to look into different ways of using them.
Maybe chopping them very finely would do the trick so that you don’t taste them 🙂
