Menu Monday: Stuffed Mushrooms

If you follow me on Twitter, you've heard from me a few times about making stuffed mushrooms. I've looked at recipes for them, but I basically just came up with how to make them my favorite way.


Yum. These are heaven.

Basically, you need mushrooms, sausage, minced garlic, parmesan cheese and a tiny bit of oil.

- Pull the stems apart from the mushroom tops. Set the caps aside. Chop the stems into diced little bits.
- Brown sausage, mushroom bits, and a small spoonful of garlic until sausage is browned on the stove.
- Mix in as much or as little parmesan as you want. I like sausage-y mixtures more than super cheesy ones. It's easy to mix ingredients however you'd like.
- Spoon the mixture into mushroom caps, and lay in brownie-like baking pan.
- Pour 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp oil into bottom of the pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

SIMPLE! Then, they come out like this:


I think I made these in less than 40 minutes today, including baking time. I loved them. Mr. Jones' friends loved them. I crave them lots.

Enjoy! I'll give you a full menu again soon. Life has just been soooooo busy here lately!

XOXO,

A day in the life of Eve Belle

Good morning everyone! Today I thought I'd share some pics in a funny way. I want to show you a day in the life of my lovely little Eve Belle!

So, here we go! I'll let Eve Belle take it from here!

-----------------


"Good morning. I'm sleepy. Play with me."



"I like playing with my toys."



"Breakfast is my favorite."



"I shove my face all the way to the bottom of my bowl every time I eat."



"I love sleeping more on blankets and stuff during the day."



"But heaven help  me when I get ahold of one of Mom's shoes! These flats are my favorite."



"Nom."


"I love to go outside, but sometimes I run through puddles or mud. Then I get a bath. Yuck."



"If I'm lucky, Daddy will put my barrette in."



"I actually like my barrette a lot."



"When I get bored, I start digging on and pushing around my bed."



"Then I go back to trying to take Mom's shoes off her. 
She needs to get new ones and let me have these."



"Dad has caught me watching tv a few times. I like the tv."



"Then, of course, I love to curl up and sleep some more."


Well, I hope you enjoyed a day in the life of my little Eve Belle!
XOXO,
Mrs. Jones
