Wild Rice And Mushroom Pilaf Heaven.

Wild Rice and Mushroom Pilaf, two of Erin Riley-Carrasco's favorite foods.  This super easy recipe is so delicious and packed with 12 grams of protein per serving.  It is a total misconception that you need animal flesh as your main protein source.  People do not realize that there is PLENTY of protein in vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds.  PLENTY!  This recipe also has no oil, so for those of you adhering to a WFPB diet, this recipe is a must-try.  This dish can be doubled in ingredients and put in a large casserole dish to take to friends or family gatherings (serves 10).  Or simply make it as a quick and easy meal for your family.  It's a perfect recipe for holidays, or for a weeknight family meal.
