Blue Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Do you love appetizers as much as I do? An entire week devoted to appetizers is right up my alley. I love nibbling on a few (or a lot) of everything and given the choice I will always pick appetizers over dinner. I have really enjoyed preparing this week, because we have been having appetizers for dinner for a few days straight.
One of my favorite appetizers is always stuffed mushrooms. I don’t care what they are stuffed with just gimme, gimme, gimme! This version with blue cheese and bacon is heavenly. The filling is creamy, but tangy. And it has little bits of bacon, who doesn’t like little bits of bacon? I like to stuff mine extra full, but if you don’t load up the topping quite as much as I do, you may need to buy two packages of mushroom.

Sweet and Spicy Pecans for #SundaySupper
This week’s #SundaySupper theme is Gifts from the Kitchen. Need ideas for friend or neighbor Christmas gifts? There are plenty of fun things you can make right in your kitchen. Check out the links below for more inspiration.
I was inspired to make Sweet and Spicy Pecans after receiving a bag of Trader Joe’s Sweet and Spicy Pecans from my October Foodie Pen pal. I searched high and low for a copy cat recipe with no luck. Those things are like crack, so addicting. And while these are more like candied pecans than the Trader Joe’s version and not quite as spicy they are still a delicious snack.
These slightly sweet, slightly spicy pecans make a great grab and go snack, are terrific for setting out to munch on at a party, or my favorite is to add them to salads. All of your pecan loving friends will thank you for these treats.
