Make Room for Shrooms!

Today is our first day of weekend eats. (Doesn't weekend eats sound like WE CAN EAT when you say it out loud?) In ode to the first week of the fall semester being over, we decided to cook for our roommates.

Today's Menu:
MUSHROOM CASSEROLE & ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES AND WHIPPED CREAM


Ingredients for Mushroom Casserole:
1/2 pound of brown mushrooms (lesson learned: buy more shrooms)
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
3 cups of brown rice (lessons learned: you only need about 2 cups or less of the rice)
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 teas. salt
2 eggs
a generous amount of parmesan cheese
1/2 teas. basil


Ingredients for Angel Food Cake & Strawberries & Whipped Cream:
we bought the angel cake pre-made
a case of strawberries, chopped
whipping cream
vanilla
sugar

Whip it! Whip it good.

(if you like it sweet add more sugar. if you don't well, you know what to do.)

Overall, the casserole was great. A little flavorless but nothing some salt couldn't fix. The roommates liked it. They even went for seconds. The cake was amazing. Nothing much to say about it except that it was scrumptious.

Till next time!
