Today’s Tasty Pick: Creamy Garlic Mushroom Toast

Hey Fam!

I hope you are all wrapped up, cosy, and surviving this moody, rainy Monday.

Since the weather clearly decided we all needed a hug, I figured I would send one your way — in the form of food, of course. And not just any food… something quick, comforting, and ready in 10 minutes. Yes, TEN. I got you!

Allow me to proudly present: my Creamy Garlic Mushroom Toast.
Now, if you remember my long, dramatic love-hate saga with mushrooms, you will be pleased to hear that we are officially in therapy and making major progress. Honestly, this recipe might just save our relationship!

Fam, the beauty of this dish is that it works anytime — breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight cravings, emotional support snack… you name it. And please, make it your own. Add whatever your heart (or stomach) desires.

Thanks for hanging out with me for a minute. I can’t wait for you to try this one — you are gonna love it.

Warm hugs,
Asanda Mbayimbayi
