Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

July 28, 2017 Jolyn Leave a comment

Here’s a delicious and simple appetizer that even your guests on
gluten-free, Ketogenic, Paleo and Atkins diets can enjoy.

Ingredients:

24 mushrooms
4 tablespoons tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, sausage, bell pepper, onion, tomato, basil, etc.)

Directions:

Remove stems from mushrooms and clean mushroom caps with a damp paper towel.
Place mushroom caps on a lightly greased baking sheet and fill with tomato or pasta sauce. My favorite is Trader Joe’s
Bruschetta.
Top with mozzarella cheese and your favorite pizza toppings.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and nicely browned.

Enjoy!

TIP: If cooking for only a few people, use large Portobello
mushrooms to create personal sized crust-free pizzas. Bake the mushrooms for 5 minutes before adding toppings.

January 14, 2017 Jolyn Leave a comment

Between the cream and the bacon, you may forget you’re eating your spinach. This recipe is perfect for your guests who are following a Ketogenic or Paleo diet.

Ingredients

2 slices bacon
3 mushrooms, sliced
½ medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
salt & pepper, to taste
9 oz bag fresh baby spinach
¼ cup cream
2 oz cream cheese, cubed

Directions

1. Fry bacon until almost crisp; drain and cut into bite-size pieces.

2. Over medium heat, sauté mushrooms, onions and garlic in the bacon drippings until onions are soft. Add bacon.

3. Season with salt and pepper and add entire bag of spinach.

4. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low and cover pan with a lid so spinach can steam 3 to 4 minutes.

5. Add cream and cream cheese, and stir until cream cheese is melted and spinach is evenly coated.

This recipe makes about 4 servings. Multiply as needed.

A unique and simple appetizer that is also perfect for your
Ketogenic and Paleo guests.

Only Three Ingredients:
Cream cheese
Ham slices
Texas style okra pickles

Directions:

1. Spread cream cheese onto a slice of ham.

2. Cut okra pickles to fit the width of the ham slice.

3. Roll up the ham around the pickles.

4. Slice into 1/4″ rounds. The slices don’t need to be identical, but the more consistent the size, the prettier they are on the platter.

That’s all there is to it. Enjoy!

4 oz heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
