Enjoy Meatless Monday with the meaty flavor of mushrooms.

If you haven’t tried to go meatless for a meal yet, mushrooms can be a great entry food. They have a rich, umami flavor that can be similar to beef. Grilling large Portobello mushrooms can give them a smoky, charred flavor. They are quick to grill up and get a flavorful, nutritious meal on the table in minutes.

The eggs and cheese in this Cobb salad are the source of protein, while the veggies offer nutrients to boost your mood and immune system.

While the research is in early stages, there is some promise being shown that nutrients in mushrooms might help fight breast and prostate cancers. Although it’s far from definite, there is no known negative consequence to eating more mushrooms, so why not try them for the hope that it will protect against cancer or as a compliment to treatment for those who are battling cancer.
