Last night my husband surprised me by making dinner. He's not the foodie type, but lately has gone nut-so. He cooked us steaks with fresh mushroom gravy, and mashed potatoes, and it was fantastic.
Mushrooms are a good source of B vitamins, copper, potassium, vitamin D, and other good stuff. I love to toss these in casseroles, soups, stews, and gravies.
On the breakfast plate. . . .

Cold, but we should see some sun this morning for a short time.
