This is one the dishes that I personally really like!

Chicken Marsala, My Way

I LOVE gravy anything, so you may find there's too much in this recipe for you... the sauce in this is fantastic with just about anything.

On this occasion, I topped homemade pasta, YUM! I like it chunky and fork (no knife) friendly.

Turkey tenderloins or breasts are delicious here too, as seen above.
Or you could use Chicken Breasts meat as well.
 
I’m not a fan of mushrooms (it’s a texture thing), so I’ll either have to come up with a way to puree them so the texture doesn’t bother me, or get my husband to make something to enter.

The poor guy absolutely loves mushrooms and was devastated to find out I don’t like them when we were first dating.

I don’t really care for them either, but have gotten to the point of being able to eat one for every three I push aside.

MrsT loves them, but I’ve made them so often for her, she asked that I stop buying them for a while, just to give her a break.

Are you referring to all mushrooms, or the more common ones in a can or jar? Those are packed in water, and even I find them gross, but real mushrooms that you cut from whole (shiitake, cremini, etc.), those, even in sauces or whatever, have a much better (less "slimy") texture to them, and they are awesome on pizza because they dry out a bit and the edges develop a good texture that is very plesant with pizza.

Well, there are many ways to use them as a puree. And don't forget you can use dried. They can be whizzed up into 'mushroom dust' which can then be used to great effect. Or you could soak dried mushrooms and use the soaking juice.

How do you feel about them raw?
