i hope you eat good food, grow beautiful things, and have more love than you know what to do with.
We went over to my mother-in-laws for a swim and I took a short walk through her woodsy backyard. Had it not been for my little daughter who excitedly shouted she found mushrooms, I would have completely missed the mass of black trumpets growing out …
I was getting a bit overwhelmed with the amount of mushrooms I had collected that were sitting in the freezer. I had about 2 pounds of various boletes and five pounds of trimmed chicken of the woods. A julienne seemed to be a great way …

I had leftover oyster mushroom risotto from my foray into growing my own mushrooms (read my review of the Back To The Roots mushroom kit I got for Mother’s Day) and had been dreaming of arancini (Italian rice balls). Crispy, crunchy on the outside, creamy on …
