Coming home from the office today, I had a dilemma. I wanted to take a nice long late afternoon walk along our lovely greenway, but I also wanted to enjoy a delicious dinner. Fortunately, I remembered an easy recipe from my cookbook that can literally be put together in minutes. Here was my ...

My Vegan Mushroom Sauce is Gluten-Free, too!
Since my mushroom-hating son is away at college, his mushroom-loving dad and I can revel in the bounty of early spring mushrooms.
