Even before I started my Shaklee 180 plan, I loved stuffed mushrooms. In college it was my signature dish. In my 20's, it was not unheard of for me to order a stuffed mushrooms appetizer as my entree when eating out. Now that I am doing Shaklee 180, mushrooms are my new BFFs because they are a free food. In addition to being very tasty, they are high in selenium, protein and B vitamins.
I paired mine with fresh asparagus spears sauteed in coconut oil. I normally like some kind of dip or dressing (even just plain balsamic vinegar) on my asparagus but the virgin coconut oil I used imparted a tasty nutty flavor that made additional condiments unnecessary.
