Total, beautiful, heavenliness……I mean…literally! These were so yummy!
I had a dinner party on NYE this year and I made these for Hors d’oeuvres and they were a BIG hit!!!
These little mushrooms were so easy to whip together and very easy to serve for the guests, so they turned out to be an ideal option for me. Can’t wait to make more….I honestly did not get enough of them.
I kept the ingredients simple and made them ahead for easy entertaining….I’m working on that…..pre-planning for events like dinner parties, special occasions, etc. Being prepared and getting the things done early really helped me over the holidays.
