Mushrooms, onion, cheese. What could possibly go wrong? I asked the mushroom vendor at our farmers market about her favorite recipes for mushrooms. From what she described, I came up with this recipe for mushroom quesadillas.

Yum!! These sound so yummy, Barbara! A friend of mine cooked us grilled chicken and topped it with sauteed mushrooms. It was so simple yet soooo delicious 🙂
