Wild Mushrooms, Sautéed Kale & Eggs

Some mornings I can’t quite muster up the energy for pancakes or something more involved than eggs & toast. It’s days like that where the simplest additions like wild mushrooms will go such a long way (for your meal and your mood.) Besides having that famous umami flavor that will transform any dish, Maitake mushrooms […]
