Guest Post: Beef, Beans & Veggie Skillet by Marvelous Mommy Meals
Hello, my name is Jennifer; if you are looking for easy, quick and tasty kid friendly meals come by my blog Marvelous Mommy Meals. Every Monday we share our family meal plan for people to get ideas for their meals along with great kid approved recipes. I love to play around in the kitchen and always seem to have at least one helper with me.
I have always loved mushrooms, from raw with dip to cooked mushrooms added on the side or in my dinners. My husband also loves mushrooms and works as a mushroom farmer at a local farm. We try to include mushrooms in a lot of meals that we have as they are a great source of important vitamins and nutrients including fibre. I have to say my favorite mushrooms are grilled portabella burgers with garlic and butter; add some mayo and cheese, yum.
