What’s for Dinner?

Well, three kinds of mushrooms, for a start! I’ve got criminis, shitakes, and portobellos. No better time like the present to load up on the mushrooms so plentiful in the northwest this time of year. My dinner table will feature criminis on homemade pizza, portebellos as the base of a Wildwood Restaurant inspired entrée, and a choose-as-you-please mixture in a creamy Hungarian mushroom soup. Throw in two Mexican meals (hooray for National Margarita Day!), a final Russian feast, and a very-veggie “wrap up” at week’s end.
