PALEO SAUTEED BALSAMIC MUSHROOMS

Sauteed mushrooms are one of my favorite sides to a nice steak or some grilled chicken. This recipe is so simple but is full of flavor and nobody will know you only spent a few minutes throwing this lovely side dish together.

Even people who don't usually like mushrooms tend to like this recipe. I have to guard the pan when I cook these because everyone tries to crowd around and steal mushrooms from the pan, so make sure you stay alert! If anyone gets too close just whap them with a spatula and make sure to defend your mushrooms!
