A Baby Shower {Recipe: Special Stuffed Mushrooms} (2024)

March 21, 2011

Jump to Recipe -

Many of you know the very generous and talented Amanda from I Am Baker and I Am Mommy. Amanda has become a dear friend over the past year. Even though we have never met in person, we “chat” almost everyday with a group of other wonderful blogging friends. Amanda has provided support, friendship, laughter and love to our gaggle of friends. Now, it is our turn to shower her with some love!

Amanda is expecting a sweet baby boy in the next couple of days – her 4th kiddo! We have come together as a virtual group, since we can’t all meet in person, to throw a baby shower for her. It won’t be the same as getting to pat her little belly or “oooohhhh and ahhhhhh” over tiny little baby diapers and clothes, but hopefully Amanda will feel our hugs and love through the internet waves. We can’t wait to “meet” I Am Baby Boy Baker and hope that you’ll visit the other shower participants to see what everyone is cooking up to welcome him into the world! (Make sure to scroll to the bottom for my contribution to the shower… Special Stuffed Mushrooms!)

OH I would give anything for one of these mushrooms right now!! Noone else in my family likes them, so I never make them…maybe I’ll make some for dinner and they can all sit and watch me eat?
I just know that Amanda loves these!!

Yum! I love stuffed mushrooms… One of my favorite appetizers! These are perfect for a baby shower, but are also great for a dinner party or any other occasion. Love them 🙂

Oh Kristen, I’m so excited about this recipe. I love stuffed mushrooms of any kind, but usually the recipes I find have some sort of seafood in the stuffing. James won’t eat seafood unless it’s a battered and deep fried cod. (I blame the Blackpool – where he grew up.) But he will certainly love these! Especially the addition of chili powder.

Hi Kristen,
What a cute and clever idea to host this baby shower. All the cooks here are so talented! I have to say your photo is so pretty with the mushrooms, I love the tone of it. I ran into Amanda’s blog only a few weeks ago and fell in love right away, I even have my Ma hooked on her cakes. I have no idea how she bakes and decorates all those lovely cakes with 3 kiddies and one on the way, I think I would be found face down in my cake at that point! Hope all is well and hey I enjoyed doing the Cooking Connection- it was really fun.

I remember when I first had stuffed mushrooms round a friends house and I fell in love with them. I keep on forgetting how easy and quick they are to make. I’m sure to give this ago for a early Christmas treat 🙂
