The mushrooms were incredible! The recipe is inspired by here but we made enough changes that it is easier to explain. We sauteed the mushrooms (with a bit of Smart Balance) for a while. Then, we combined 1/2 cup of wine with 1/2 cup of water and 1 beef cube with some sodium free chicken. After heating that and mixing, we added it to the onions and let it cook down. Towards the end, we added some corn starch to thicken it. Actually, I accidentally added baking powder but that just created a lot of bubbles and went away. Then, I added the corn starch. I do not think the powder added any flavors. We used my Dad's trick and put a 1/3 wedge of Laughing Cow light Swiss into the mushroom caps and then filled it with the heavily reduced onions. We cooked it at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Very easy and very good.

The grain mixture was a bit stranger. We really didn't know what we were doing and it made if difficult. I do not remember the grains but there was definitly wheat berry. I know that one becuase they were less cooked and gave a chewy texture that we actually liked a lot. We put some fresh rosemary in and despite it seeming like not enough, it was actually too much. Very strong flavors. I do not remember what else was in there. Overall, it was okay. Definitly not great. Also, we put the mushroom stumps in.

I do not know the points for the grains but there were ONLY GRAINS for points so I do not imagine it was too bad. As for the mushrooms, the points really only come from the tbsp or so of Smart Balance and then the cheese. We made a bunch and had lunch leftovers.
