Mushroom Goulash

Mushroom Goulash is a dish that I frequently prepare for my vegetarian friends and I win them over each and every time. Sometimes it can be a challenge to cook a vegetarian meal, but if you familiarize yourself with a few substitutes, it can be a cinch! For example, did you know that mushrooms are the other meat? Well, not nutritionally, but in as far as satisfying a vegetarian’s, or a carnivore’s hunger that’s on a diet, mushrooms are a great substitute.
