I have a new love...
Don't tell Josh, but it's starting to get serious. These cremini (crimini?) mushrooms are downright life changing. I like to say everything that I love is life changing, but these guys are seriously dear to my heart. They are so rich and satisfying. That umami flavor does it for me. And cats too apparently.
I can't tell you when I first tried mushrooms, but I've know about this love for awhile now. I grew up with a mushroom (and egg!) hating mom who I can confirm would never serve mushrooms to me as per my previous post. One day I'm going to get her to love mushrooms. One day mom, just you wait!
If you too love mushrooms then this very quick and easy recipe is for you!
Ingredients:
brown butter mushrooms: 5 C. chopped cremini mushrooms, 1 t. salt, 2 T butter
creamy noodles: half package of egg noodles (4 C. cooked), 1/4 C. sour cream, 1 T butter, 1/4 t. salt, 1 t garlic powder, 1 T dried parsley (plus more for garnish), 1/2 C. chopped provolone
Directions:
Prepare egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Wash and dry mushrooms and set aside. Heat butter in a large skillet until it begins to turn brown or a light amber color. Add mushrooms to the pan, careful not to overcrowd them. Add salt and stir. Cook until tender.
Put noodles back in the pot on medium heat. Add butter, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, and parsley to the noodles. Stir until the butter is melted and the noodles are heated thoroughly.
Place noodles on a large serving platter and top with provolone cheese. Add mushrooms to the top of the noodles and garnish with parsley. Serve with a side salad and enjoy!
Just wondering you said you worked out to Insanity what is that? And is it hard to do considering your weight? Im pretty heavy and some of those workout videos are really hard for me do because of my size. Iam looking for a challenge but I want to beable to atleast do the moves .. anyhow
Hi Connie- These are great questions! Maybe I could do an insanity video post with questions and answers? Or some sort of review post?
I think that is a great idea.
Thanks !!
I’m still working on this, but it’s coming
Hi Lorrie, love the blog. First time posting. I just made this for supper, and it is awesome. Thanks for all the wonderful food ideas, as well as the inspiring and candid thoughts you share here. I have to thank you for bringing Brain over Binge into my life, it has been truly life changing. I have dealt with BED for most of my life, and I can honestly say that since reading the book I have not taken one bite more than what my body needed. For someone who overrate at practically every meal, this is miraculous. It is amazing to be free of the shame, and be able to be passionate about food and cooking in a way that isn’t harmful. I can enjoy all foods, and listen to my body, because it really tells me what it wants and needs.
I do need to lose 80 lbs, but I am no longer afraid. I have already shed a few pounds without stress, by just understanding where the urges come from. I actually WANT to exercise now, and my body is responding to this very well. I have hope. I am the same person, but I am living a different life.
thanks again for sharing your experience. I look forward to hearing more about your journey. I am rooting for you.
BTW I have an awesome recipe for Cremini Mushroom Bread Pudding…let me know if you’d like it.
So glad you liked it, Silvia.
I’m so glad that you’re getting as much as I have out of Brain Over Binge- it really changed me perspective on binge eating. Not so much about being present and mindful, but not giving weight to my every whim. It’s about changing the mind, rather than suppressing it- how great is that?
I believe you will lose the 80lbs! No doubt about it.
And yes, I’d love your recipe.
I like reading your blog. Thank you for sharing all those recipes. I will definately be trying some of the out !
Thanks for stopping by! Let me know what you think
Hi, I love your blog! I recently started a weight loss blog of my own and I was wondering if you had any tips on where to promote and how to get readers?
♥
I don’t know if my tips are very useful, but I would start with leaving comments on other bloggers blogs and creating a community for yourself.
Hi,
I am not trying to criticize by any means but I see butter and other fatty foods sometimes in your blog. Just wondering how you manage to keep your caloric intake on the down low?
Or is this your cheat meal from time to time?
I am trying to lose weight myself and have had to give up on butter, sour cream and all milk based products basically. Thanks.
Hi Sophie-
I don’t take it that way. You’re right I do use butter and other full fat products. For the most part, I just try to balance what I’m eating and always eat a salad (to take up most of my plate) with dinner.
I’m just trying not to binge or overeat. Right now, I’m focusing on eating less and eating when I’m hungry and enjoying myself in the process.
Those mushrooms look SO good! I love mushrooms, but really don’t care for noodles. I think I’d be happy just eating them without the noodles.
I just came across your blog and so far I like what I see! Looking forward to reading it!
Rachel – the mushrooms are to die for with or without the noodles- enjoy!
I love oyster mushroom. I COOK IT WITH BUTTER OR VEG OIL. My ingredients: oyster mushroom, ginger, onions, garlic, oyster sauce. hmmmmmm…yummyyyy…low calorie….
