I am mushroom hunting lately, and eating them in many different ways!. Here's one way to eat mushrooms!.
Mix up in a pan!.!.!.
Olive Oil, fresh mushrooms, zucchini, onions, some minced garlic, salt and pepper!. Add it to rice!.
Get fresh zucchini!. When it's cooked, you'll be surprised at how yummy it can be!. slice it about as thick as your mushrooms or thicker!. Don't cook all the way through, just until the outsides of the vegetables are softened!. Try to get the onions clear and brown before adding the mushrooms and zucchini!. Fully cooked onions taste sweet when browned!.
So easy and so delicious!

Most everyone that has ever eaten this LOVES it!. It is Pepper Zuchinni!. Many people say ugh I hate zuchinni but when this taste this their whole attitude changes!!
Pepper Zuchinni
Put a 1/2 cube margarine in 10 inch fry pan on medium!. Slice enough mild white onions to cover in rings the bottom of the pan!. Slice enough zuchinni til the pan is heaped!. Stir and saute til onion is clear and zuchinni are limp!. Sprinkle 1 Teaspoon of fresh ground pepper over the vegetables and stir well!.
Now either fry 4 strips of bacon very crisp to crumble over or buy the Kraft Bacon Cheese spread - you know in the little jars/glasses you save to have your tiny tots drink out of!?!?
If you fry your own bacon just crumble it over the vegetables and add either a 4 oz portion of cheese whiz or American cheese and stir it all in!. OR if you are using the Kraft Bacon cheese spread then just put the whole jar over all!. Continue stirring til cheese is melted!.
Then pour or spoon into a casserole and I usually lay a square or 2 of American Cheese over it for decoration and heat for 15-20 minutes!. Sometimes I crumble more bacon over the top too!!
Serve hot!. Good luck!

The easiest and best way to get more veggies in your diet (if you buy frozen) is to buy the steamer bags!. They are cheap (under $2 for a serving of 4) and come already prepared with sauce, spice, etc!.
