Stuffed Mushrooms
I have always loved mushrooms. Portabellas, shiitakes, and even the regular old buttons.
Yesterday I saw a sale on "stuffing mushrooms," big ones of the perfect size to be hollowed out and stuffed. So I brought them home (after paying for them) and cooked them for dinner. There are millions of ways to stuff mushrooms, and mine was not particularly exciting, but it did make a yummy and cute little dish, one with more protein than your average vegetarian mushroom dish. All I did was stuff the mushrooms with finely diced zucchini, cooked eggwhite chunks, garlic, and oregano, then I topped them with no salt tomato sauce and nonfat mozzarella. Baked for about forty five mins at 350 ish (baked the mushrooms for 25 mins then added the cheese at the end so it would melt and not burn.
I have a ton of mushrooms left, so I'm thinking of many ways to stuff them. Suggestions welcome!

How about stuffing them with a fat-free ricotta, dill and parsley mix?

Shirley Conran once wrote that "life is too short to stuff a mushroom."
However, after reading this entry, I am convinced that with CR life *is* long enough to stuff a mushroom! ;)
