Rockford Woman’s Recipe Wins A National Contest

A Rockford woman's recipe wins a national contest and it sounds delicious!

WIFR shares that Lu Bartosiak submitted her recipe for Stuffed Mushrooms in "the Enlivant recipe contest."

Lu's recipe was "chosen out of more than one hundred entries nationwide" for Enlivant.

Envilant has hundreds of communities around the U.S. and CherryVale Place, where Lu lives, is one of those senior housing developments.

Not only does Lu receive the honor as the national winner, her recipe for "Stuffed Mushrooms" will now "be served at Envilant communities' menus across the U.S."

If you're curious about the recipe or maybe, like me, you want to make them.

Here's her, now famous, recipe.
