And what a beautiful day it was.
It sure feels like spring has sprung, although living in Saskatchewan, one can never be too sure.
Eats as of late have of included a lot of salads. I picked up a new dressing a while back, Organic Sesame Ginger dressing, and it is making me want a large salad daily. Not a bad thing! As you may know, I absolutely hate making salads, so I have been using the organic mixed greens that come prepackaged so I don't have to wash them.
Our first-day-of-Spring meal was a little more wintery today. I have a bunch of dried wild mushrooms that I picked up at Costco and used them to make a mushroom risotto to accompany pork chops in mushroom sauce - an old family fave.
Not a very colourful dinner, but tasty nonetheless.
I absolutely love mushrooms, especially the dried ones as they won't go bad on me. You just soak them for a short while in water, wine or broth, and then they are ready to be used. The liquid that they have been soaked in can be used in whatever you are cooking to add a little extra umami.
Do you like mushrooms? Do you ever use the dried mushrooms?
