Good Friends, Good Food - Mushrooms

-


This week in our good friends good food group we are focused on mushrooms.   It worked out great that in my vegetable co-op came some portobello mushroom caps.   I have never tried those before!  My husband loves mushrooms but I can only take them in small doses and these are huge.  But they turned out really good and pretty!  Chandler loved them as I knew he would.  Sometimes it pays to cook what pleases others!  Ever since the pandemic started a year ago I think I have been spoiling him because we are living in challenging times.  This would be delicious to serve your honey bear for Valentines!

Recipe:

  • 6 portobello mushroom caps
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (1/3 cup)
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt

    • INSTRUCTIONS

    • Prebake Mushrooms: Preheat oven to 400 F. On baking half sheet lined with parchment paper, place mushrooms stem side up. Season with salt. When oven has preheated, bake mushrooms until softened and filled with liquid, about 15 minutes. Carefully lift up each mushroom with spatula and invert over bowl to drain out liquid, then place back on baking sheet. Discard liquid.
    • Stuff Mushrooms: Stir together bacon, scallions, cheddar, parmesan, and garlic in bowl until well-mixed. Spoon filling into each mushroom until stuffed.

    • Bake & Cool: Bake stuffed mushrooms at 400 F until cooked through and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Let mushrooms cool on baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, then serve.
      Here are the other members of the group.  Check out their blogs and you will find very good food recipes!

    Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

    -
    Image
    This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

    TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

    -
    Image
    Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

    Lenox Almond Biscotti

    This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
