My favorite mushrooms are portobellos, in the very talented hands of my dad, who marinates them in some secret sauce of wine, tamari, spices, etc then grills them, stacks them and sandwiches them.

Much has been written about agave, (much of it is untrue), and it's no surprise that people are confused about sweeteners. After reading Dr. Klaper's thought-provoking article, "Slaying the Sugary Beast," I am cutting back drastically on sweeteners, altogether, and I'm planning an upcoming post about this very subject.Vegiegailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953934856050968428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-37184535659018229742011-03-09T08:07:24.466-08:002011-03-09T08:07:24.466-08:00There is some controversy on agave (low glycemic i...There is some controversy on agave (low glycemic index--good; high fructose content--bad, so I fully understand why someone might opt to substitute with maple syrup. It bears mentioning, however, that as a society we need to consider weaning ourselves off of sweeteners a little, and allow our tastes to come into balance. Bitter foods (dandelion, radicchio, bitter melon) are every bit as enjoyable in their own way, and come with terrific health benefits.Alan Roettingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271534270560830364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-56290888069180612222011-03-08T20:18:11.314-08:002011-03-08T20:18:11.314-08:00Wow, Emily!

It works great when motorcycle camping because I can pick up half pound of button mushrooms, cook them up like that and eat them over instant mashed potatoes & a bunch of sauteed spinach for a very very hearty meal (with a buddy, of course).Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16304420774638468362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-36636965056341603162011-03-07T16:09:11.674-08:002011-03-07T16:09:11.674-08:00Shiitake!
