While trying to figure out dinner...

Today is one of those days when I just do not really have any plans for what to do for dinner... groceries are happening this afternoon, so I will have no shortage of ingredients, but as far as ideas go, I don't have many today.

However, those type of days tend to be just a perfect excuse to create a "throw whatever you've got in a pan and hope for the best" kind of meal, which rarely disappoints. And so, behold! Today's tentative plan for dinner. I am calling this "Creamy Mushrooms". Pictures to be posted after it all gets cooked this evening.

Creamy Mushrooms:

• 16-oz. baby bella mushrooms

• 6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil (+ a drizzle of the tomato oil)

• 2 large handfuls of fresh baby spinach

• 2 cups white beans, cooked and rinsed

• 1 medium sweet onion

• 3 cloves of garlic

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 tbsp. all purpose flour

• 1/2 tbsp. Italian herbs

• 2 cups whichever alternative milk you choose

• 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar

• Salt and black pepper to taste

1. Clean the mushrooms and cut them in half or quarters depending on their size

2. Finely dice the onion, mince garlic

3. Thinly slice the sun-dried tomatoes

4. Melt the butter in a deep pan or Dutch oven and sauté the onions for 5 minutes over low to medium heat, then add garlic and tomatoes. Sauté for another 3 to 5 minutes until they are very fragrant, then add all purpose flour, and keep stirring for another 2 minutes

5. Add the milk, mushrooms, white beans, vinegar and herbs. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes

6. Add the spinach and season to taste with salt and black pepper. If needed, add more water to thin out the sauce

7. Drizzle with some of the tomato oil and enjoy!
