Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I’ve been busy in the kitchen. Especially busy using butter and cream. It’s Thanksgiving! I like to mostly cook comfort food for Thanksgiving because it’s once a year. I’m making mostly creamed vegetables and of course Mac and cheese, and Turkey.

I absolutely love anything “creamed”. You can serve me a creamed shoe and I might try it. I made these creamed mushrooms last year for Thanksgiving and my little cousins who aren’t mushroom fans devoured them. I promise I’m not lying. I am sort of a skeptic and usually don’t believe stories like those but I am honestly telling the truth. They devoured those delicious creamed mushrooms 🙂

I’ll be making these mushrooms every single year. You will too if you give them a try.
