For as long as I can remember, I have loved mushrooms. I love all types and all kinds. I especially love to use them in cooking. Today I have a recipe where mushrooms are the feature. Don’t these crab stuffed mushrooms look amazing?
I love appetizers that are quick and easy to make but that wow my guests. You can play around with the filling by not using crab or just substitute cheese instead of crab. No matter what you do, your guests will thank you later!
