Hi friends! Today, the Mini’s and I had mushrooms! Specifically Rustic Tuscan BLENDABELLA Mushrooms from Giorgio. Ok, there were other things too, like a bit of tomato sauce, some Chicken Italian Sausage and pan-fried slices of polenta, but mostly, it was all about the mushrooms. Mushrooms are a great addition to any meal. Not only are they delicious, but they have some pretty awesome nutritional benefits too. They’re low in calories and sodium and they’re fat free and cholesterol free!
This post is part of the BLENDABELLA recipe challenge. Giorgio’s provided samples of their products to use in creating this recipe and all opinions are 100% my own.
This was my first time trying Giorgio’s BLENDABELLA mushrooms and I have to say, they’re quite tasty! There are three different flavor options: Zesty Mexican, Coconut Thai, and Rustic Tuscan. I chose the Rustic Tuscan for this dish. This flavor blend consists of diced portobello mushrooms, onions, green peppers, red peppers, garbanzo beans, sun-dried tomatoes and carrots, with garlic, rosemary, oregano, basil and parmesan cheese. How could you possibly go wrong with those amazing flavors?

Are you a mushroom lover too? If so, I think you’ll really enjoy this recipe! Along with the Rustic Tuscan flavor, there is a Zesty Mexican flavor I can’t wait to try in a quesadilla, as well as a Coconut Thai flavor blend that I’m 100% certain will be fabulous in a creamy curry soup!
