MUSHROOM STEW Recipe
I can remember the smell of mushroom stew cooking as this was simmered for hours back in the day. Many years ago mom would make this and we would pour it over crusty Italian bread in Upstate New York. It was actually a specialty in local Italian Restaurants there. Always a Tuesday special somewhere in good ole Utica New York. Lucky for us our mom was such a great cook we never had to visit those local establishments. Well to date I still make this even though the recipe now if around 90 years old because she learned from her mom. Amazing the years that go by we still can remember through home cooked meals the wonderful memories, aroma's and keep them going generation to generation. Simple, easy and just plain delicious.
