BASIL TOMATO & CHEESE MUSHROOM CAPS and LASAGNA


This past weekend we celebrated my moms birthday. I made lasagna, mushroom caps, steamed veggies and garlic bread. Connie, my mother in-law brought a colourful garden salad. Everything looked so delicious, I couldn't wait to dig in. These mushroom caps were sooo tasty and they were easier then I thought. Yes I added a bit of shredded cheese since it was a party I thought once year would be ok! So I used left over cheese from the lasagna. For the dairy free people out there - feel free to use diaya cheese or none at all. Nutritional yeast would be a great option too. Other then that this is a full veggie appy.

Note on cheese* We only use unpasteurized cheese, meaning it's still raw and we only used as a treat once in a blue moon (honestly once or twice a year). Raw cheese has more health benefits then pasteurized cheese. However cheese and dairy products are super acidic to the body. Eaten on a daily bases, cheese really creates stress on the bodies digestive system. It creates toxic build up, which is great environment for disease to start to grow. A large intake of dairy during pregnancy can lead to eczema, asthma, sinus congestion and digestion disorders, for both mom and developing baby. Use nutritional yeast as a cheese substitute to garnish ontop of dinnes every night.
