The past few years I didnt really get to enjoy the holidays in the traditional sense. I lived in Hawaii, I was away from family and of course we never got that chilly weather which to me is a big part of Christmas. Not saying I don't miss the 70 degrees and sunshine all year long but I was really excited to spend this Christmas the way I used to growing up. I forgot was how hectic this time of year can be (especially while working on my masters degree). Yikes! With all the holidays gatherings at home, school, or with friends I share with you a recipe that is surely to please!
Crab stuffed Mushroom, elegant yet simple and of course delicious! Who doesn't love the succulent flavor of crab? This recipe combines smooth cream cheese and Parmesan (use fresh grated!) and is stuffed into a juicy little mushroom for a bite size piece of crab heaven!
Make these ahead of time and then pop them in the oven when ready to serve!
