Sauteed Mushrooms

One of my personal favorite side dishes

Ingredients
Fresh Whole Mushrooms
1 stick of butter
3-4tsp Minced Garlic (Fresh or pre-minced)

1. Wash and dry mushrooms



2. Slice into "stems and pieces"



3. Melt butter with minced garlic (I used pre-minced tonight!)



4. Add in mushrooms and saute on medium high heat for 15 minutes, until a light brown. Make sure to stir them around in the saute pan, so they cook evenly



Hope you enjoy them like I do! You can also use the baby button mushrooms if you like. They tend to be on the more expensive side, so I used regulars more often.

Easy Garlic Noodles

This is a simple side dish that I make if I do not have a lot of time. It's super easy, and you season to your own taste. Be careful to not OVER garlic. As I said, this is a simple dish, for those nights when you are in a mad rush. Total cook and prep time isn't more than 15 minutes, and that is including waiting for the the water to boil.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Egg Noodles
• Garlic Powder
  
• Italian Seasoning
• Butter and/or Olive Oil
• Fresh cracked pepper

1. Boil Noodles as directed. Strain

2. Mix together the seasonings. Mixed together, I have about 1 and 1/2 teaspoons. I recommend starting out with small amounts so you can season these to your own tastes.


3. Mix together melted 3 Tbsp butter and 1 and 1/3 Tbsp olive oil (you can use all olive oil, or all butter if you prefer)

4. Stir butter/olive oil into noodles

5. Mix in the seasoning. Taste, and add more seasoning if needed.
