Truffle Mushrooms
This post is ironic - if you’re a foodie, you already get it. I put truffle salt - yes, a type of fungus, onto another type of fungus and served it up as a side dish.
Truffle oil, truffle salt, shaved truffles - it doesn’t matter. But, the smell of truffle anything makes me drool. I’m the queen of walking into a new restaurant and immediately asking the waitress to bring me whatever has truffles on it! I know plenty of people who feel the same way. My dear friends Sandra and Jennie bought me truffle salt and a few other things last year for my birthday.
Last week I had one of those weeks - where at the end of the week, I was wishing I hadn’t said yes to every offer I got to hang out. It’s not that I regret getting to see everyone, but man my house is dirty. I literally got nothing done. No laundry, no dusting, didn’t put any shoes away, didn’t change any light bulbs. Nothing.
But, I did have excellent food, drinks and more importantly - company. I dated my husband, I saw my friends and I played with my dog like it was nobody’s business. It was awesome. This week, I’m getting back to business and I am the first person to say that it’s not nearly as much fun.
This dish is one of those dishes that came from “nothing” to eat in the fridge and a glass of wine telling me that whatever flavors I put together were just going to work. Mike and I hoovered them (yes, like the vacuum) and have made them two more times since.
You should try them - they take 10 minutes.

Hi, my name is 
You would not believe how much I am drooling right now. I adore truffle oil. This is amazing!
I am having a major moment with ‘shrooms, so this dish is pretty much my destiny.
I adore truffle salt! I know I would love these! I made a white cheddar & black truffle salt mac and cheese last year that was amazing! and now I’m totally addicted to truffle salt popcorn!
