Shiitake Mushrooms |
This is a self made recipe that was inspired by a dish that I had at a restaurant. I had one of those moments of sitting there and said, " Oh this would be so good if it had this and that." I made the recipe the following week and it was so good. I miss having this recipe while pregnant. The Shiitake Mushrooms can cause a little stomach discomfort for some (Looking at husband). I myself did not experience this.
