Last week I was looking for a quick little appetizer to make for the hubby and I before we enjoyed our anniversary dinner. I’ve been looking through some of my cookbooks lately and I’ve found myself repeatedly being drawn to recipes with goat cheese. So….last time we were at the grocery store I picked some up.
Then I spotted some mini portobello mushrooms that were just dying to be stuffed. When I got home, I whipped up what turned out to be one of the easiest, most delicious appetizers I’ve ever made.
Goat Cheese & Cranberry Stuffed Mushrooms

I just discovered stuffed mushrooms (the healthier version) last winter — I am so excited to make them for the holidays this year — these would be perfect!!

Looks fabulous! I’ll have to remember this when I can eat dairy again. 😉
[Or perhaps a tofu ricotta would work in there…???]
Lindsay says

I have never really had stuffed mushrooms, so not sure if I would like it, but this recipe looks interesting. I might have to break down and try it. By the way, I saw one of your recipes in my newsletter from The Greener Grocer today. It was for your Sweet Potato Pork Bowl.
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef says
yum! i’m not a fan of goat cheese but i might try this with something else… cause mushrooms are fantastic!
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says

Linda says
