You guys… I’ve been so tired from the big move recently. Â And when I get tired, I want some serious comfort food (have you noticed lately?!). Â I just can’t say enough how happy I am (we are) to finally be settled.
I didn’t realize how out of shape I was until I started climbing all of these steps. Â I woke up after about 3 days with my calves on FIRE (OUCH!). Â I guess climbing steps with boxes about 20+ times a day would probably do that. Â Thank goodness the pain has gone away, although I’m not complaining. Â This home is so totally perfect for Brian, me and Baby.
So after all of those calories I probably burned moving (hopefully?)… I find it totally acceptable to indulge in some comfort food for a short while.  🙂
This recipe is SUPER easy to prepare, and the best part is that it’s in ONE SKILLET which means minimal cleanup. Â A win-win situation here! Â Creamy sauce surrounded by mushrooms and perfectly seasoned with garlic and thyme. Â Pair it with a salad for the ultimate easy weeknight dinner.
If you’re a mushroom lover like me, this is definitely a MUST-MAKE. Â Enjoy!
