Garlicky Pepper Mushroom Stir Fry Ready in 15 Minutes

Much as I enjoy cooking, I don’t always want to make a meal of it! There are days when kids are at school and hubby at work and I have that luxurious “me” time, I try to laze expansively. I try to keep my food less complicated.

It’s all very straight forward really, I cook to suit my life, I blog what I cook. Over the years my cooking style has not changed much. But life evolves, and so do the recipes.

I believe that, you can make great food,with big flavors with just a  few everyday ingredients. After buzzing with day to day activity, We all have a trusty list of comforting dishes we turn to when the weather changes or we need a little cheering up.

Comfort food also has to be simple and easy to make. Stir fry is one of my comfort food. With less ingredients you can get a great deal of dinner vegetables. Here’s an ultra-quick dinner vegetable that you can literally throw together and cook in under ten minutes. A perfect stir fry that can be served as appetizers or side dish.

It is perfectly delightful in its simplicity, just sauteed mushrooms with maybe a little onion garlic. This is a regular quick meal for anyone for those busy week night dinner.Just dump these sauteed mushrooms on a toast and this would be your complete meal.
