Marinated Mushrooms

Christmas Snack PLATE
In my Family our Christmas table is always covered with Special Cheese, oysters, crackers, smoked Salmon, hot pickled beans and SO many good things to slowly graze on throughout the day
I am missing my family this Christmas
But will see them soon when they come to visit me at my new home later this week
So I prepare snacks for my table for when they arrive
one of the things I made is Marinated mushrooms
These are super easy to make and are crazy good ...you can dream up all sorts of ways to use them
Toss them in a salad, use them on quick tortilla pizza's or just stack in a cracker with cheese and other goodness.
I scooped this recipe from Penny
an incredible cook
a fabulous Grandmother
