Yes to both! I add sauteed mushrooms to my homemade baked macaroni and cheese, and I chop up shiitake mushrooms and throw them in the boiling water when I make ramen noodle soup, and I put them on my frozen cheese pizzas. I also like jarred marinated mushrooms, and baked stuffed mushrooms, and cream of mushroom soup.
I used to hate mushrooms when I was a kid, but changed my tune in my early 20’s when I became a vegetarian and started trying new foods, and really learning how to cook.
I have a terrific salad that I make that has raw “massaged” kale, and raw beets, with candied pecans that is divine. I also like them roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and in borscht.
I do not like the canned pickled beets that you often find in salad bars.
