“I helped! Shake ’n Bake, all grown up—and with mushrooms.”
That old-school shake-in-a-bag magic, updated for crispy baked mushrooms that are anything but retro and add a touch of Sriracha for a little zing.
“Baked, not fried” brings back a memory from the 60’s: a Shake ’n Bake commercial, a little girl with the most exaggerated Southern accent, and that unforgettable line—“It’s Shake ’n Bake… and I helped.”
I’m flashing back to 1969—bell bottoms, corduroy pants (snake skin print), oven-fried chicken. I didn’t even use Shake ’n Bake back then. Now the shake-and-bake idea has gone to culinary school (I did) and grown up into something better.
