My niece Holly Sue is a chef. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, many years ago she left a restaurant career to raise her family but later started a highly successful at-home personal chef business when her boys were approaching middle school age. Her clients pick up made-from-scratch family dinners twice a week.

Highly prized for their versatility, mushrooms’ flavor profiles range from woodsy to nutty, musty to mild. They are loaded with umami, that quality described as the fifth taste that has the savory flavor of meat or broth. In addition to their deliciousness, many contend that they boost gut health and pack anti-inflammatory properties. Don’t be intimidated by them. Look for firm mushrooms that are free of soft spots or mold. Wash them just before using them but be sure to store them unwashed.

Growing up, meatloaf was considered a practical weeknight dish, often used to clear out leftover vegetables and bread. Maybe a few carrots, an onion, some celery and mushroom caps would be liberated from the back of the crisper drawer and finely diced and quickly sauteed. Breadcrumbs were made with leftover heels of bread; an egg or two were added to bind the ground beef, sauteed vegetables and breadcrumbs.

Most often dubbed “fricos” or “frico cheese crisps” on restaurant menus, these thin-and-crunchy rounds are generally made using only grated Parmesan, but I like to add a little flavor interest by adding grated white cheddar cheese along with chopped pistachios and fresh thyme. They are delicious served as appetizer nibbles or used to accompany green salads. Make sure that you have a thin, flexible metal spatula to lift them off the baking sheet.
