In honor of one of my newest blogging buddies getting married, we’re celebrating with a virtual shower! These things are seriously torturous though. So many amazing dishes made from people scattered about the country and sometimes the world. I wish I could taste everything!

I hope this comes as a surprise to Megan. Since she’s being super secretive about wedding plans, it only seems fair that we kept a surprise from her! I can’t wait for all of the fun details to come out.

In the meantime, enjoy some spicy stuffed mushrooms. You can easily adjust these to your liking by using sweet, hot or extra hot sausage. The best thing about these is how quick they are to pull together. 5-10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes in the oven. There’s very little hands on time with these. Sit back and enjoy a drink while you wait for a perfect two (or three) bite spicy appetizer.
