Hey friends, it's time for another #FoodieMamas recipe roundup post, and this month we are all cooking up recipes with mushrooms.

I have been craving Portobello (also spelled Portobella and Portabella - all correct according to Wikipedia!)

Mushrooms and behold the result of those cravings!

One of those teal bowls you see in these photos, the ones that I recently blogged about in Easy Banana Bread made an appearance here, I have been using them a lot.

They are my new favorite kitchen toys 🙂

Balsamic Vinegar

Balsamic vinegar contains polyphenols, antioxidants that can protect the body from heart disease and cancer. Improves immunity: The grapes that are used to make balsamic vinegar contain antioxidants that fight against cell damage, improve the body's immune system and make blood platelets more flexible. -quoted from timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Garlic

In an article from the Huffington Post, 11 Health Benefits of Garlic, garlic is found to give an immune system boost, have antioxidants, be "heart healthy", beat inflammation, prevent food poisoning (did not know that one!), repel mosquitoes (hmm, Zika, anyone?) and repels people, kidding totally kidding, I couldn't help myself, I love garlic 😉 among several other things.

Portobello Mushrooms are like the king of mushrooms, I included some links further down below about them and also some more about balsamic vinegar.

I love knowing the story behind ingredients, it makes it all the more meaningful to eat them 🙂

I topped these Balsamic Marinated Baked Portobello Mushrooms with fresh basil which is so aromatic, that this dish really has a Mediterranean vibe to it.

I could see them also in a salad with Mozzarella cheese and sliced tomatoes...Ooooh, a Summer dish idea!

Fresh and tasty.

I will have to try that.

Below is a photo collage of how to make Balsamic Marinated Baked Portobello Mushrooms from start to finish.

It's a simple and easy recipe to make!

I added the rectangular red Le Creuset baking dish (Le Creuset Stoneware Rectangular Dish, 12.5 by 8.25-Inches) that I baked the Portobello Mushrooms in.

It is of amazing quality, I got it for Christmas from my Father-in-Law and it's going to be my go-to baking dish.

It comes in just about every color you can imagine too:)
