Mushroom Pilaf image

While combing through my grandmother's recipes, I ran across something I hadn't seen since childhood. Wishing to revive my memories of Sunday dinners past, I prepared what Grandma called her "pretty pilaf." I should have doubled the recipe! Not only was it a hit, it was just as I remembered it back in Waukegan, Illinois, where I grew up.

The pilaf was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices to give it more flavor.
