This week’s short-cut, Ricotta & Marinated Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms are in honor of National Mushroom Month! Mushrooms really do deserve their own month. A nutrient powerhouse;  mushrooms are high in fiber, vitamins (potassium, B-vitamins) and antioxidants. AND, did you know, they’re the only source of vitamin D in the produce aisle? To be fair, they often don’t get the credit they deserve.

The Short-Cuts: Ricotta & Marinated Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms

Our short-cut leans on a few short-cut ingredients, including portobello mushroom caps. Portobellos just need a quick brush with a damp paper towel, and boom! They’re ready for you. We always keep a jar of ready-to-eat marinated artichoke hearts on hand. The included herbs, seasoning and oil make them easy to incorporate into a hummus and veggie wrap, into a salad, spaghetti sauce or pizza topping.
