This is such a great vegetarian (or vegan!) dinner or lunch option that is nutritious and will keep you satisfied! Not to mention – it tastes amazing! Mushrooms are one of my fave veggies – full of Vitamin D (amazing for bone and muscle health), Vitamin B (for better nerve function!) and folate (essential for cell regeneration). Use whatever herbs you have on hand – I love parsley and basil! Enjoy xo
