Mushroom Recipes Over The Years

After more than 15 years of blogging, my recipe archives are starting to feel a bit like a treasure hunt. Every time I search for something, I discover old recipes I haven't thought about in years.

Recently, I went looking for mushroom recipes. I simply typed "mushrooms" into the search bar on my blog and started browsing through the results.

 I discovered quite a collection—and several recipes I had completely forgotten about over the years. It was like opening a time capsule from my own kitchen. Some recipes brought back memories of family dinners, while others reminded me of ingredients and cooking techniques I haven't used in a while.

It was fun revisiting these recipes and seeing just how many ways mushrooms have found their way into my kitchen over the years. From comforting soups and hearty main dishes to simple sides, mushrooms have always been one of my favorite ingredients.

If you're a mushroom lover, I've rounded up some of my favorite mushroom recipes from the archives. I hope you'll find a few you might enjoy.

My Notes: 

1. One of my readers, Angie, left a comment about heavy metals in mushrooms. I had no idea. So, I looked it up and found this article which I think is important to read about mushrooms. Who knew?

Portobello Mushroom Burgers

Are you looking for a hearty tasting vegan burger to eat at a BBQ this summer? 
These resemble real hamburgers but are totally vegan and fabulous.

I used portobello mushrooms and black beans to give these burgers their flavor and their texture.

Have Leftovers? Make veggie burgers!

How many times do you have some leftover beans or leftover vegetables?

It's the perfect time to make a burger and freeze it! 

Who said that you have to make a dozen burgers at a time. Make one or two from the leftovers you have on a regular basis. Before you know it- your freezer will have a dozen or so healthy tasty burgers just waiting for when you need one. 

Summer just seems to call for burgers.
These are easy to make, hold together well, are gluten free, and make a great presentation.

Top the burgers with your choice of toppings-
Try sliced red onion, pickled red onion ,  caramelized onions, corn salsa, a thick slice of summer tomato , coleslaw, etc,

Your favorite topping can take these burgers from good to sensational!
