This new and wonderful group that I’m a part of – The Red- Faced Runners– has me inspired to eat healthy and keep fit through running and other calorie- burning feats! Did you hear about The Red Faced Runners? Please read more HERE– and I hope you’ll join us. We’re a group of women inspiring each other to stay fit. It’s a good bunch.
Anyway, these mushrooms are a good bunch too. Start with a box full of fresh mushrooms. Give them a light rinse to get any extra dirt off, and trip the rough end of the stems off and toss ’em.
You’re going to marinate them in oil and a few simple spices.
Marinating them in a zip baggie is easiest. Just toss them with the dressing and let them sit on the counter, turning the bag around to redistribute the marinade every once in a while.
In a couple of hours, the mushrooms will be marinated enough to serve.
Yeah, they’ll retain a little bit of that oil, but they’re a whole lot better to munch on than the super- fatty foods that will be on hand at most 4th of July parties. I’m pretty sure you’d feel better about eating a dozen of these over a dozen chocolate chip cookies (at least… the next morning you’d feel better, right?) Or you could compromise and eat a dozen of these and then 2 chocolate chips cookies. That’s a smarter idea all around! And come join our group- The Red Faced Runners! You DO NOT have to be a runner to join (but we’ll encourage you to get started), and we’d love to have both experienced and beginner runners join in the fun. A Facebook Page has been created, and a RFR website is coming very soon too- stay tuned!
