Garlic Mushrooms

My husband does not like mushrooms, but as a vegetarian, they are a great source of flavor and texture for me.  Luckily, my daughter loves them just as much as I do, so we save this recipe for when Daddy is out of town. My 4-year old knows these are the nights to ask for the “white mushrooms” , and 90% of the time, I oblige.  These are great to eat on their own as a side dish or can top pasta, rice, or meat as well.
