Part of
being a good cook is knowing where to buy great substitutes for homemade things
and not being afraid to serve them.
Today I want to introduce you to Trader Joe’s Mushroom Turnovers. They
are, first of all, delicious. The
turnovers are a combination of sautéed mushrooms and onions enveloped in a cute
little two-bite cream cheese pastry crust.
Second of all, they are easy. They lurk in the freezer until you need
them. Then it’s just a matter of putting them on a baking sheet (hopefully a
silpat-covered one) and baking for about nine minutes. Let rest one minute,
serve with a glass of pinot noir and collect compliments. If you don’t want to
own up to the fact that they are store bought, I won’t tell.
A word about
food epiphanies … they are an ingredient, tool, technique, or in this case, a
food find. It’s those moments when you
make a discovery and think "why didn't I know this earlier!" And
there you have it. Enjoy!
