Labor Day Weekend

It has been one busy Labor Day weekend! I baked a two-layer chocolate cake with frosting, a dozen vanilla cupcakes, and made chocolate coated strawberries. I also made these delicious mushroom/artichoke stuffed mushrooms for family BBQ later today.

18 stuffed mushrooms, not baked yet :)

These mushrooms are so easy to make. I purchased Portabella mushrooms from Trader Joe's, cleaned them well, dried them, and removed the stems. I kept some of the stems and cut them up to be used as actual stuffings. Then I cut up some artichokes (come in cans), and combined them with mushrooms (stems), about a half of cup of mayo and 1/2 cup of grated parmesans. You can bake them at 350°F for 20-30 minutes. Easy, huh? They are so delicious, I guarantee it! 

I hope you are enjoying this Labor Day holiday weekend wherever you are.
