#mushroom recipes

Lauren Nixon does it again. This time, she spiced up brunch with Chili Spiced Lion’s Mane Mushrooms to accompany a Sunday breakfast made with all things local. Lauren volunteers a lot with the members of our farm cooperative so she’s kinda a pro at working with new veggies. Still, she’s great at creating approachable recipes for busy people.  Love it! 

At the farmer’s market table, we get the most questions about this one so I’m thrilled to have something simple and delicious to point folks to.  Happy Breakfast and keep up with Lauren’s adventures here.

We’re keeping the recipes flowing all month. This one comes from Wellness Educator and longtime farm supporter, Lauren Nixon. She took some of our pioppinos, a cornucopia of vegetables from our farm friend Gail at Three Part Harmony and perched them atop a stew with some local grass-fed meatballs. Scrumptious! 

This recipe reminds me of all the things I love about fall. The nip in the air gives us a reason to bundle up, hunker down and cherish the warmth within. I’m doing all three and I think this recipe will help me keep the chill at bay.

Stay warm.

Oh what a lovely surprise! Our farmer’s market neighbor Anne Pugliese of A Little Chef A took home a Lion’s Mane Mushroom and made the most amazing pasta dish with it!

There are a few things I love about this recipe. First of all, there are only 5 ingredients, most of which we could see ourselves having around the house on a rainy Sunday. Simplicity makes a busy farmer’s heart go pitter-patter.

Second, Anne mixed it with a Sweet Potato Pasta! We absolutely LOVE this flavor combo. Seriously, had it on pizza last night.

Finally, Anne conquered her slight fear of trying a new and weird looking mushroom! Way to face your fungi Anne! Check out how Anne tamed the Lion’s Mane here.
