Healthy Eating Habits
Cooler weather, crisp leaves, comfort foods. Mushrooms may already be an ingredient in many of your favorite fall casseroles, so now is a great time to teach your preschooler about this nutritious "vegetable." (Even though the mushroom technically is a fungus, the USDA Food Guide Pyramid counts this edible plant in the vegetable group.) Mushrooms contain selenium, potassium, protein, and fiber. Popular varieties to try with your preschooler are white button and portobello.
Spinach-and-Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms—sausage optional
Filled with sausage and spinach, whole white mushrooms come alive with flavor. Cut these in small pieces to serve to your preschooler.
MELT butter in medium saucepan; add onion and cook until translucent. Add water; heat to boiling. Remove pan from heat. Add herb-seasoned stuffing; stir until moistened. Stir in Spinach Soufflé, cooked sausage, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
ARRANGE mushrooms on baking sheet; fill with spinach mixture, mounding slightly. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
BAKE in preheated 400°F. oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese and mushrooms are lightly browned.
Recipe makes 12 servings.
