I think that, nutritionally, the crimini mushrooms are the same as the
standard white mushrooms; they might also be listed under "brown mushrooms."
They are about the same size as the white ones, but a bit "meatier", more
flavorful and often the same price.

The shallots are great, with the warning that 2 cups of wine are about half a
bottle. Either use cheap stuff (don't go with "cooking wine", it tends to have
a lot of added salt) or save them for a festive dinner when you are splurging
anyway. If, like me, you are not a wine drinker, this can be a good way to use
up what you might have left.

It might be a good idea, putting together a menu for a quick meal. Stuff that
can be prepared in 30 minutes or made ahead. I'll see what I can find in my
recipe box.

Ah, that would be a big help, thank you.
