Steak with Mushrooms and Cabbage

Dried Mushrooms

Are you one of those people that enjoys a mini meal at Costco when it’s food sample time? I am, especially when it’s after work and I’m starving! I rarely buy the things I sample but this time I couldn’t pass up one of my favorite foods…mushrooms.

So I went about my shopping and finally got to the refrigerated meat area and…no ground turkey on sale! In fact, no ground turkey period. No ground chicken either! Ugh…feeling totally defeated I left without ground meat of any kind. Luckily, I found a piece of steak in the freezer when I got home.
